Origins and why I built the Bill Cipher LEGO
"REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BUY GOLD, BYE!" This is a well-known quote from the menacing two-dimensional isosceles villain, "Bill Cipher" from the Disney XD show, Gravity Falls. This show was created by Alex Hirsch. Gravity Falls is a mystery/comedy animated series that aired back in 2012-2015 on the TV channel, Disney XD. It is now available for streaming on Disney + I've been an on and off fan of Gravity Falls, but I've always been a left on LEGO fan! Getting back into Gravity Falls made me want to make this Bill Cipher set, and that Bill is on an average difficulty (to me) to put together in LEGO form. One day, I saw the Illuminati on a dollar bill while I was watching Gravity Falls XD! These are many of the reasons why I made this. (It also looks cool.) I've seen many "Mystery Shacks" get recommended for products here on the platform, but I wanted to try something different.

Details
Here's Bill Cipher! This set has 331 pieces. The dimensions will be listed in L, W, and H. 5.7in by 2.9in by 13.2in. It should fit on home shelves alike! I've used the same 4x6 tile piece that came with many 18+ sets like the Venom head, to display the character's name. I used this tile here for the same purpose. I also used the antenna piece for a clever use for the eyelashes. Instead of using 2x2 bricks, I used many 1x4x3 panels to achieve the brick look on Bills body. (The images will show this.) I am proud with how this came out, especially the top hat build. Even with how great this is, I see more potential in this.
There is a lot of Gravity Falls fans, and I mean a lot. If this were a set, I think many people would be buying. Bill also makes a great display on desks and shelves. Who would like to have Bill constantly watching you play videos games!? XD. Thanks for stopping by to check the idea out. This is my first product idea on here! I'd be delighted if you decide to support this if you have a LEGO account. If you don't have a LEGO account, I'm delighted either way that you stopped by to check this out.
