Hey Pat,
Wow! Vignette prowess really runs deep in the Yrizarry family gene pool! There
is so much coolness about this series of vignettes:
The mere fact that these LEGO vignettes are based on ??? (porcelain?) vignettes.
The way you matched the figs to the inspirations (e.g. the use of the HP troll
head for the nurse, etc.)
In Marathon Ghost, the foot on the other side of the wall, and the really tall
fig in the bed. :)
In Nurse Ghost, the very clever toilet paper dispenser, and the way you did the
toilet (presumably--I’m not entirely sure what that is in the original
inspiration. Do urinals have that design in Japan?)
In Oiran’s Ghost, the water splashing up, and the red flag.
In Scampering Ghost, the very cool moped design.
In Tunnel Ghost, the way you used hinges to shape the wall. How did you attach
the Bionicle masks, BTW?
On another note, where do you live? I ask because I’d really love a chance to
get the LEGO Kabaya promotional sets, and never considered looking in some of
the Japanese groceries around here (I live in Los Angeles).
Anyway, awesome MOCs. You and Nelson are really pushing the bar higher.
Blogged!
Bruce

There I noticed another Kabaya series of candy toys about (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.vignette, FTX) !!
