LEGO DUPLO animals might not seem the most approachable for a model. To start with, there’s the challenge of working around the scale and system differences. Also personally, it’s slightly unnerving to see googly-eyed, toddler-friendly counterparts of some of my favorite brick animals, e.g. the DUPLO goat. But Simon Liu presents a clear solution— just suit them up! Add some expert greebling, equip them with some blasters and now these giant bunnies are capable of doing a whole lot more.
Got a soft spot for adorable animals in mech suits? Simon has also created a fluffier variation of the bunny mechs above, the DUPLO bunny plush mech.
I love Simon’s slightly twisted sense of humor. Back when conventions were a thing, I was fortunate enough to see his building talent on display with his giant dino-mech for Rex (from You Story). Worth taking a look in the BB archives. https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/02/25/godzilla-mech-rex-through-the-town/amp/
