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 Tunnel Ghost, the way you used hinges to shape the wall. How did you
attach the Bionicle masks, BTW?

Thanks, Bruce!
To amswer some of your questions:
1. The original toys are made of both soft and hard plastics. With the exception
of the tunnel
vignette which came in one piece, they all had to be assembled a
bit, but not too much.
2. In the bathroom vig, it’s not a urinal but a toilet! Some toilets in Japan
are like that. Try doing
a Google Image search for the words ‘Japanese toilet’
and you will find many examples of real ones.
3. In the tunnel vig, the Bionicle masks have a 1 x 1 cone behind them with the
small end pushed
inside of the hinged area of the hinge bricks. Surprisingly,
it’s very sturdy and I’ve had it on my shelf
(and picked it up to dust many
times) for about 4 months now without them falling out yet!
But honestly, I was
just happy to actually find a use for those masks!!!
Thanks for the replies and the blogging everyone.
