My Neighbor Totoro gets another chance on LEGO Ideas
Another My Neighbor Totoro project on LEGO Ideas is trying once more to get the iconic Studio Ghibli animated movie its own LEGO set.
Two previous projects pitching a LEGO My Neighbor Totoro model in the first and third 2021 reviews were not successful, unfortunately. Now, the LEGO Ideas user behind a not-approved Shrek submission from the first 2023 LEGO Ideas review is proposing LEGO Catbus and more.
Danielbradleyy has recreated the Studio Ghibli movie in a diorama-style display with models that can be detached from the base. The diorama is based on the movie’s most iconic scene at the bus stop in the forest on its base.
Minifigures of Satsuki and Mei are proposed as well as brick-built figures of Totoro, Chu Totoro and Chibi Totoro. The majority of the piece count goes towards the Catbus with its many legs and smiling face. For those unfamiliar with the movie, rest assured that the LEGO Catbus is accurate to the iconic film.
This is the 21st project in the first 2024 LEGO Ideas review and it joins the growing list of projects all in the running for a future official set.
