Okay, this is the 2nd to last episode that went up in 2021. We are back in Dr. Mindbender's laboratory where he is showing Cobra Commander how he drains the ambient Kreateium energy from toys.
If you look at the first panel, you can see the fate befallen the poor Lego Fabuland mini figures from back in Episode 14.
As per the norm, click the photos to enlarge them for easier viewing and check after the last panel for Director's commentary and behind the scenes information!
With this 2-part episode, I really wanted to showcase Dr. Mindbender's laboratory as a real set piece that I could resist for future episodes. So I shot a BUNCH of photos in there before dismantling it. Again I figured toys would use whatever building materials they could find, so they got a hold of some alluminum foil, cardboard and tape and made his laboratory that way.
Since this happened, I got a hold of some Extreme-Sets and as they are cardboard AND designed to be set up and broken down easily, I opted to switch things up.
This goes with the story as Cobra Commander throws more human money at the good doctor to further his research and thus leads to a better more "professional" looking mad scientist laboratory.
As far as deleted scenes go in this episode, we have 2 photos of Dr Mindbender and Cobra Commander sort of "laughing maniacally" together. I opted to not use them as it kind of does "fit" into my version of Cobra Commander. He's more stoic and serious and not really one to throw his hands in the air and cackle like a madman.
Next up I have an alternate video from Panel #9 that didn't work as you can hear my son making loud noises in the background. You can _kinda_ hear him in the actual video I used, but it was low enough in volume that I was still able to use it.
Onto Part 2 of "Unorthodox Methods"!
