Kabaya Ghost Stories in LEGO!
Late last year I went to a Japanese grocery store in my neighborhood and
purchased a few of the Kabaya candy Lego sets (the dinosaur and Star Wars
series). There I noticed another Kabaya series of candy toys about Japanese
ghost that were created by an artist named Takaki Yamamoto. Each box
contained
a small random vignette-type scene, a short story about the scene
and a piece
of chewing gum. Intrigued by the idea of making Lego versions, I
purchased one
of each from the set and got busy creating them.
There are five stories in all. Read the read-me files for a translation of
each
story and more information.
Main Ghost Story
Brickshelf Page with box pictures and group shots.
The Five Stories:
The Haunted Tunnel Under
the Graveyard
The
Oiran’s Ghost
The
Marathon Running Ghost
Chased By the Ghost Nurse
The Woman Who Ran On All
Fours
I hope you enjoy them!
