Lego brought massive statues of pop culture heroes to Comic-Con and it unsurprisingly took a very long time to build them all.
If you have a giant statue of something, it’s going to be time consuming to construct. Add in the fact that it’s being built out of Lego and all of a sudden the process just became very real.
Take for example the Thor statute that went to Comic-Con this year. Lego rolled out statues of pop culture figures like Luke Skywalker and others to help promote their booth and give the fine folks of the convention something fun to find.
But with that fun comes serious commitment to the building process. For Thor, it reportedly took almost 300 hours to make.
That’s a long time.
You could watch both of the Thor movies a lot of times over in that span. Something similar was that case for the Lego Luke Skywalker statue that went to Comic-Con, and it’s probably safe to assume that such a thing is true for all the statues we saw there.
Here’s a cool time lapse video of the Thor statue being build, which emphasizes how much work went into putting this thing together:
Even the video of the time lapse is pretty long, considering it’s just the process at ten times the speed it actually took to make.
In the end, it was all worth it. The statues turned out phenomenally and they were the pride and joy for Lego at Comic-Con. These things were all over the internet too, which means all the man hours that went into building them paid off big time.
Not that we’re wishing hard work hours on anyone, but here’s to hoping these statues make a return next year.
