Hey Everyone! I'm back to show you my latest build. I'm a huge fan of the Youtube channel called How It Should Have Ended or HISHE for short. If you haven't seen the awesome animation lampooning the latest movie blockbusters, you need to check it out here.
Anyways, I was watching some of the Super Cafe videos, where Superman and Batman shoot the breeze on various topics, and it occurred to me I might have in my bootleg Super Hero minifig collection, the same ones as featured in the videos. Sure enough, here are Superman and Batman with the same costumes as the ones in HISHE.
The HISHE Super Cafe Lego Version
So then, the next thing that came to mind was re-creating the Super Cafe that is featured in their video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOQxxNYSHR0. Some screenshots are above.
Let's do some research then. We see that the HISHE Lego version of the Super Cafe has dark gray seating and beige walls. It's hard to make out the windows and what's outside. The table is light gray and six studs wide. We can see salt and pepper shakers and napkin dispenser on the table. Batman's mug is light tan in colour. The table height is just under the lower part of the window.
Green Lantern stands quite high up, not sure if he's floating or not.
The HISHE Super Cafe Animated Version
For reference purposes, I've gathered some screenshots of the animated version of the Super Cafe.
In the above pic, there are two tables side by side, and there are ceiling pendant lights over each table.
Here's another scene where you see other chairs from the other tables. Whenever there's a large crowd, they are usually seated at a round table instead of a square one.
The yellow car shows up a lot in all the Super Cafe videos.
The seating at the square table should allow for someone to sit next to both Superman and Batman.
Batman almost always is nursing a mug of coffee or something. There's a few scenes of Superman checking his cell phone, but never eating or drinking.
This pic shows the height of characters standing outside the Cafe windows.
My Super Cafe MOC
So first of all you should know that I use a lot of different brick brands, not all of them Lego. I just cobble together different building bricks from whatever I have on hand to make my creations, but I can assure you that there are at least a few pieces of this build that are actually Lego.
I didn't have any pale green bricks, so I used these beigy bricks instead for the floor, upper walls and ceiling rafters. I used white bricks on the lower walls. My Moc has the ceiling lights. I've used some grid pieces for the ceiling to allow light to filter into the seating area.
I've got lots of floor space should I decide to move the seating out to accommodate bigger groups.
Superman's got his phone and Batman has his mug. I didn't have a tan mug so I substituted a yellow one instead. I even got the yellow car going by in the window. The seating is a tad low but this keeps the table low as well.
Hey, look there's Green Lantern!
Wonder Woman joins the table as Wolverine looks in from the street.
