I’m old enough to remember when Nintendo Power gave away a free Dragon Warrior cartridge to every new subscriber. Despite that push, the Dragon Quest franchise never gained the cultural clout in the US that it did in Japan, but even if you’ve never played the games, you can’t escape the impact they’ve had on RPGs. Builder Alanboar Cheung pays tribute to the king of JRPGs with these brilliant LEGO models of the hero Erdrick’s sword and shield (Roto in the Japanese original, as seen in the lettering). LEGO’s bright primary colors are a perfect match for the art from Akira Toriama (of Dragonball fame). If you’re wondering what the yellow detailing on the shield is made from, those rubber bits are dog sled harnesses, found in a single Friends set!
