Built Like A Brick

 

To start with, we’ve got shots of the lifesize TAHU, which is built entirely using basic LEGO® bricks, and is very faithful to the original design. Including the gear system. (I did notice that the eye-piece is made out of opaque red bricks instead of trans-red ones) This statue has little red diodes mounted in the eyes, but when I saw it in February it appeared that they were no longer working. Like most official brick-sculptures, this one is probably glued together to prevent parts of it from falling, or walking, off. Behind TAHU you can see Bob the Builder and a soccer player, both built out of LEGO® bricks.

And this is the lifesize ONUA statue, though to tell the truth, it’s actually built in a smaller scale than the TAHU statue, and the top of ONUA’s head would probably only come up to TAHU’s chest-ball. Also unlike the TAHU statue, this one is sealed up inside a transparent TOA cannister, so you can’t actually touch it. Unfortunately, due to the confined spaces, you also can’t get a clear full-size image from the sides without using a wide-angle lens.
