Bender Bending Rodríguez, also known as Bender on the [animated television series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-simpsons-krusty-burger) Futurama, is taking building block form as this alcohol cabinet dubbed the '[LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-terrarium) Bender.'

Built by Adrian Drake of BrickFrenzy, this [LEGO creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets) debuted at the recent Bickworld convention in Chicago and got Drake a few nominations and prizes. It is amazingly built and extremely detailed, thanks to the countless hours Drake put in to make it; it took him almost a month to build the six foot statue and needed over 20,000 LEGO bricks.

While the statue looks amazing on its own, it also serves another purpose: it has a secretive compartment that holds booze and cigars. Concealed in Bender's chest cavity, the shelf caters to all your favorite vices.
