Read MoreI’m not at all familiar with the anime Ergo Proxy, but I know a good build when I see one, and this is a VERY good build. Sheo has captured the likenesses of the characters perfectly, and uses slope pieces to great effect.
Eero Okkenen has come up with another stunning figure making use of those nifty "orient-esque" pieces from the Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty Nijago set.

So creating a literal yet mythological interpretation is certainly an intriguing concept, and I'd argue worthy of an entire anime series.

Yes, this is an awesome model of the bike from the classic anime movie. But what's even MORE awesomer is the fact that it actually works.
