Very, very cool. I haven't thought about doing this as a sculpture,

Thanks.  I've been wanting to build a new sculpture for almost a year but have
been stuck with "builders block"... finally I got this brainstorm.

I haven't had builder's block--just havne't had the time to work on my LEGO
projects (in escrow on a house, don't move until March 8). But one of the
only things NOT packed is my LEGOs :)

I like the raised kanji. Su-goi! I checked out how you did the arms.
Very interesting.
Sonna koto!

Yatta! :)

The arms come off for transportation.  I have had no end of trouble especially
with my Pikachu and Teddy Bear where the arms prevent it from fitting in a box.
So by making the arms removable at least I won't have *that* problem...

Makes sense. I  do have one suggestion for you:
The eyes are usually "blank" (no black in the pupil) until it is filled
in.  I would modify it to make it so you can fill in each eye after a wish
comes true.

Btw, my fiance liked it. :)

Yosh! More LEGO building! :)
