Giant minifig appears on British beach, less mysterious this time around
When we last saw the NO REAL THAN YOU ARE minifig, it appeared on a beach in The Netherlands to much fanfare and even inspired Nathan to build a real LEGO version.
A similar figure, this time with a green torso, has shown up on Brighton beach in England (click for the full story on BBC.co.uk):
A LEGO UK spokesperson told the BBC, “We understand the person behind this is a Dutch artist called Ego Leonard who will be exhibiting in London in the coming weeks.”
Let’s hope the mystery is solved.

I can’t help but wonder if it’s mere coincidence that if you take the ‘L’ from his last name, place it infront of his first name and it spells Lego. O.o
Probably not. ;)

Is this considered littering?

I think Peppermint Pig might be on to something…

This picture is actually rather poignant. Giant minifig flopped in the sand with the ruins of Brighton’s West Pier in the background. I like it.

I wonder which of the minifigs is “no more real than the other one is”.
