FYI the Interstellar Blu-ray will contain a disc with supplementary material. Here are the details. Of note is that it will include this featurette:
- TARS and CASE—Designing and building these unique characters and how they were brought to life on set and in the film.
I hope there will be a 4K Version if it, too...
Hello Guys,
I decided to create my own lego TARS Figurine and after seeing all your awsome project, I want to share with you my project http://blog.mottet.tk/Lego figurine TARS. I share my building guide and the bricks you need. If you go to my blog you will see more pictures!

Hope you like it!!!!
I've watched the film again since my last post and had trouble figuring out some movements that TARS makes, namely walking and the tilting action when in 'console mode'. It would seem difficult to make 4 square legs of equal length move forward and backward without the bottom surfaces catching on the ground. On the tilting action it would also seem there'd be a clearance issue; as TARS tilts his top half up.
This was a really good watch.
One of the coolest props/characters in film history, if you ask me.
