- View Many More New Arrivals Belowby Max Eddy | 1:36 pm, May 23rd, 2012 Artist Theo Jansen has been wowing and terrifying beachgoers with his kinetic sculptures he calls “strandbeests.” Massive and maddening in their complexity, their fluidity of motion is truly breathtaking. Even more amazing is that these sculptures are powered by the wind, or human power. Now, at long last, someone has found a way to translate one of Jansen’s designs into LEGO form, and it might even become an official set. The LEGO Rhinoceros strandbeest is currently on the LEGO CUUSOO site, which sort of functions like Kickstarter. Once a design gets 10,000 votes, LEGO will review it and possibly make it available for sale as an official set. In the case of the strandbeest, it’s the work of a Dutch industrial designer using the screenname kvanb. For his part, kvanb has worked with Jansen before — in fact, kvanb played a part in bringing the 3D printable versions of Jansen’s strandbeests to the public.
Though Jansen did not work directly on the LEGO version, he’s given his blessing to kvanb. The result is an astounding looking LEGO set that moves with the strange otherworldy grace as Jansen’s own creations. Like Jansen’s creations, the LEGO version has no motors, though kvanb notes that they could be added. There’s even a to-scale Jansen fig that comes with the set. Though the Rhinoceros is certainly complex, it does appear to be quite buildable. In fact, seeing it assembled out of technic pieces makes the whole thing seem far more understandable. If this kind of thing excites you as much as it does me, sign up at CUUSOO and show your support. Let’s make this happen, people. And here’s Jansen’s original Rhinoceros. As you can see, it’s a pretty spot-on recreation.

"I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft!" - Dr Ray StantzThe follow up to my Ghostbusters: 30th Anniversary Project, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!He may looking cute and friendly but this is no mere chunky sailor. As the physical manifestation of the Sumerian demonic deity Gozer he stands over 34cm (13 inches) tall and is a formidable sight to an minifig in your LEGO city.He has articulated Arms, Legs, Head, Feet and HandsMORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE HERE ON FLICKRRandom Facts:- Over 34cm or 13 inches tall- If I was to use a similar ratio of a human compared to the Stay Puft as there is in the movie, That Marshmallow Man would be 68cm or 27 inches tall, which makes this version exactly half scale compared to a minifig.- Estimated 1800 Pieces (This could be reduced fairly easily, it was more due to my limited piece library and budget)- Estimated 60 hours design and build time.What did you do Ray!?
