Black Lodge Custom's Official Logo
History[]
Black Lodge Customs was begun by Mr. Badger in early 2009. It began as a simple custom figure, a Cyborg Infiltrator based upon the titular character, 'The Terminator,' played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was sold with a prototype Minigun, Ammo Chain, and prototype Longslide pistol. It was first sold in June at BrickWorld 2009. After that, at BrickFair 2009, Mr. Badger revealed a second piece, the Resistance Trooper. Black Lodge soon became a staple at Brick Convetions, and it is believed Mr. Badger has more in store for next year.

Black Lodge Custom Riddles[]
The Cyborg Infiltrator was hinted in one of Badger's famous riddles. The riddle was,
"Wedding dance, extended"
The riddled Longslide makes an appearance
Badger later explained that: Wedding dance = The Electric Slide Extended = Long
Combined, the two answers became "Slide-long," or "Longslide," as in, "Longslide Pistol".
Trivia[]
- Upon being asked about the name 'Black Lodge Customs,' Mr. Badger, despite being gone for two years, nervously replied that, "I'm not gonna talk about Judy. In fact, we're not gonna talk Judy at all; we're gonna keep her out of it." After questioning the front desk of his disappearance, it was revealed he was never there.
