Announcing the premiere of Joe Vig... to Japan!



In the image, the Japanese characters in black read “Bonyari Bouzu”, which means “Oblivious guy”.
The red characters read “Joo Viggu” (where “Joo” - with a long ‘o’ - sounds much like his English name “Joe”).






There are many famous vignette builders from Japan, but until now Joe Vig has been mysteriously absent in their work. The only logical explanation for this is the language barrier.

To overcome this obstacle, I have been working with Andrew Becraft of Pan-Pacific Bricks to translate the Official Joe Vig page into Japanese. Andrew quickly made the translation, and contacted Japanese builder, Izzo for his take on it.

Izzo must have been quite intrigued with the Joe Vig phenomenon, since he quickly built and posted FOUR Joe Vig vignettes!





Without further ado, here is the Japanese version of the Official Joe Vig page!

We hope to see many new and interesting Joe Vig vignettes from our fellow builders in Japan!!


Enjoy!
“Big Daddy” Nelson

LOVE the escalator vig. The escalator steps are perfect and the mannequins aren’t half bad either. Good stuff.
