Howl’s Moving Castle Gets a Lego Makeover
?
Hayao Miyazaki’s film adaptation of Howl’s Moving Castle isn’t mainstream enough to merit its own Lego set, so the engineering geniuses behind the Imagine Brickstone Flickr page made their own. Through some brilliant kit-bashing and probably an insane amount of time and work, they somehow managed to perfectly translate the film’s sense of fractured whimsy to the construction block toy medium. You can see the rest of the pictures from this project (and others) here, but be warned that you are going to be overwhelmed with the urge to hug a monstrous ball of Legos and that can be painful and embarrassing. Take my word for it. (Via Japanator). ? C.C.
