This won’t fit in your Xmas stocking! Mystery as giant Legoman appears recently on a Japanese beach
Just last week an undeniably unusual sight washed ashore on the coast of Yuigahama beach in the Japanese city of Kamakura. A giant Lego figurine no less. It came with a few clues reportedly noted by Tatsuya Hirata. Standing at more than eight feet tall, the freakishly big Legoman was dressed in blue pants and a red shirt that proclaimed, "No Real Than You Are," on its front. On the back, it bore the name "Ego Leonard." A simple explanation, sadly, explains the arrival on the beach. Since 2007, the anonymous Dutch guerrilla artist Ego Leonard has dispatched Legomen, sending them emblazoned with his motto into great water bodies. Sightings of Leonard's big yellow men usually frequent the Western hemisphere, specifically, off a sea in the Netherlands, at Brighton Beach in the United Kingdom, and on a Florida beach too. There's not been a rhyme or reason to these landings that anyone has been able to piece together as of yet, but who knows? Could the next one wash up on the beach near our Ilfracombe holiday cottages? Watch the video of the Legoman washing on to shore here:
