16,000 blues, 6,000 reds, 6,000 yellows, and 5,000 blacks for a total of 33,000 pieces. That and five months of time is what it took the folks at Jun Lego (Pure Lego) to build a Doraemon figure that ended up being just under 130 cm tall and weight a hefty 50 kilos. The image to the right shows the finished figure with a 500-ml plastic bottle in its hand and a 1.5-liter bottle at its feet.

But this is not something they just decided to throw together one day. A figure this large requires careful planning, and an interior skeleton (made of Lego blocks, of course) strong enough to support the exterior skin.
