Fans Build Japan-Themed Lego Models for Upcoming Event
My Neighbor Totoro, Mazinger Z, Akira among photo submissions
In January, the
Brothers Brick website announced that the theme for this year's collaborative display for
BrickCon 2010 — an unofficial Lego-centric event taking place in Seattle from September 30 to October 3 — would be "Big in Japan." Since then, fans have submitted numerous photos of Japan-inspired
Lego creations to the group's photo stream on the
Flickr website.
Among these submissions are many representations of
Studio Ghibli works, including "Ponyo", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Nausicaa", "Spirited Away", and "Laputa: Castle in the Sky", as well as a
Lego bust of Hayao Miyazaki himself. A
Lego form of
Go Nagai'z "Mazinger Z" super robot and "Akira"'s Tetsuo and his motorcycle had also been made, as well as Godzilla and representations of Japanese buildings and historical figures.
