A haunting LEGO tribute to an RPG as French as baguettes and brie

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a very beautiful and very French RPG that has captured the hearts of players and critics alike. The game has such a distinctive setting – Belle Epoque Paris by way of Final Fantasy – so it seemed only a matter of time before someone would pay tribute in LEGO. That someone is Franck Chavernaca French AFOL and storyteller who recreates the party of heroes confronting the tragic villain, the Paintress. I love the use of a Belville doll for the Paintress, her face hauntingly obscured in “hair.” Franck created custom prints for the four heroes’ outfits, which you can see here. Scattered flowers provide a pop of color and a grim reminder of the Gommage.
