I've only had Fuchikoma for a few hours, but if anything happened to it...
Reddit user /u/Noshkanok shares an impressive custom LEGO creation of the iconic Fuchikoma from the *Ghost in the Shell* franchise. The builder draws direct inspiration from the work of creator nickbrickbuilds, capturing the distinct personality and mechanical design of the beloved robotic walker.
While the custom build already looks remarkably faithful to the source material, the creator notes that the model is still a work in progress. The current version lacks a few specific details, including the red, green, and white sensor tubes, the red leg helmets, and some slopes on the abdomen. Additionally, the builder plans to redesign the arms using a part that LEGO does not officially produce in order to achieve better actuation, and intends to add the spinnerets in a future update.
This creative MOC highlights the ongoing crossover between classic anime mecha designs and the endless possibilities of the brick system. Fans looking to embark on their own custom mecha projects or organize their spare parts might want to pick up an LEGO storage organizer to keep their workspace tidy, or grab an brick separator to easily modify joints and sub-assemblies during the building process.
...I'd break all the sets in this room and step on them myself. It's still missing some details, like the red, green, and white tubes for its sensors, the red helmets for its legs, and some slopes on the abdomen. The arms are getting redesigned with a part Lego doesn't make, for better actuation. I'll probably add the spinnerets too. (Edit: just realized a piece is ajar. Oops.) Check out nickbrickbuilds for the inspiration, and watch the new Ghost in the Shell anime for more Fuchikoma! ...
