KABUKI LEGO MANS

Steve Robbins had a brilliant idea: the creation of an amazing collection of virtual LEGO based on the Kabuki heros. Here are his words to explain this great project: "I enjoy the concept behind LEGO Minifigurines; a modular toy, much like collectible-art. However, they've been stuck to series (Pirates) or licenses (Star Wars). There's such potential for historical periods or legends. It shouldn't stop at safe and scrubbed! Push the envelope! So I've started to draw up ideas". Here they are, the incredible Kabuki LEGO MANS:

Kamakura Gongorô Kagemasa in the bombastic drama "Shibaraku"

The wicked priest Narukami in the eponymous drama "Narukami"

The Edo otokodate Sukeroku in the eponymous drama "Sukeroku"

The monk warrior Musashibô Benkei in the dance-drama "Kanjinchô"

The shirabyôshi Hanako in the dance "Musume Dôjôji"

The Adachi-ga-Hara ogress in "Kurozuka"

Toraya Tôkichi, in reality Soga Gorô Tokimune, in the sogamono "Uirô Uri"
