Oct 13 2008$60,000 His And Her LEGO Sculptures
Got $60,000 lying around? Looking for a way to blow it in the most ridiculous way possible? How about life-sized his and her LEGO sculptures from famed LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya?
Send in detailed photos and measurements, then Nathan gets to snapping and BOOM! One-of-a-kind, life-size sculptures of yourselves in LEGO bricks. We priced our exclusive gift individually, so Nathan can "brickalize" you and the S.O., the kids, Granny and/or anyone else you obsess about. (Just make sure you have the rights to their likenesses; we're not here to judge.)
Word on the street is that for an extra $10,000 Nathan will even throw in a pet. Which, for $10K, better be a freaking dinosaur. A real one.
Hit the jump for one more full-body picture.
Thanks to Michael, who will make the exact same thing out of Duplo blocks for half the price.

Fake!
That's a complete photoshop job. You can tell because they got the shadows all wrong. The picture looks as if it came out og a scene from the movie Never Back Down.

@4: I can tell you retype things each time because the typos change. Really, if you insist on being that lame, you might as well embrace the lazy and control-c control-v that drivel.

For $60,000 that statue better come with a working vagina. I mean if that was the case who wouldn't pay for a back-up wife?
"WHAT the hell are you doing?!"
"let me explain, it's not what it looks like, honey you were busy with the kids and clearly didn't want to be bothered"
"Wait, what? wait... is that a statue of me?"
"Well ya, why do you think i took out that second mortage two months ago?"
"Well honestly I thought it was to pay high prices hookers, but this looks so much like me, it's like having my own backup. i guess it must be OK!"
"Oh and honey, there's one for you in the closet for when I'm gone on business *wink*"

The wackest business idea ever. I hope this guy invested a lot of money into his lame-ass idea and it bombs. seriously.

The expression on the husband's sculpture's face is perfectly evoking one emotion: "Why did I just pay $60,000 for this?"

if you want to know if this is cool or not, imagine yourself standing in your friend's house and he/she has a lego sculpture of himself/herself or themselves in the living room or something. You might say something like "neat" or "wow" and then, when he/she tells you they cost $60,000 (if you refrain from kicking them in the face) you would maybe finish up whatever you are doing there and then talk shit about them for years. Not to mention, never go back.
These are like a scarlet letter that you paid $60,000 for. Letting everyone know you are an exceptional level of douchnozzle.

OMG i just realized that no one would read my 149 sentence-long post --- BECAUSE WHO GIVES A F*** RIGHT?
Well yes I was bored -- I had to take a break from that movie "Cave Men #2" -- the hairiest and most virile gay porno in existence.
P.S. I recommend that movie to you, James

#9: very nice. Except the real quote goes "your mama was a snow blower!"
and it comes from Short Circuit, not originally SNL.
If I had the money, I'd do this myself, I would spend a lot less.

Wonder how much to Lego my pet ant?
23. guate6 - October 13, 2008 1:45 PM
@22
You have a pet ant?
How gay are you.
24. qoqonut.com - October 13, 2008 1:46 PM
VERY
apparently

@ ahha impostor aka #20
Yes, it was boring but, really, what is worse: writing a boring post? or writing a impostor post with the typical latent homophobia and expletive ignorance (you often display) in response to a boring post?
If I'm so boring, rub my face in it by actually writing something better.

Woman: Does my Lego sculpture look fat to you?
Man: It looks fine dear.
Woman: Well, I think it looks fat so if you think it's fine then you must think I'm fat!!
Man: Actually I do think you're fat and you also never shut up!! Oohh but I'm going to shut you up!! Yes! For the last time!! Every day with your nonstop yammering and whining!! Now you're going to wish you and your mother never were born....
Uhh sorry, I kinda blacked out there.....Carry on.

Nice try, Geekologie writer, but Duplo is owned by Lego. Maybe if you made the sculptures of out MegaBlocks you'd save money, but not Duplo. And for #4, I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about. I know Photoshop, and the shadows look fine to me.
