Daft Punk’s Helmets May Soon Be Mass-Produced in LEGO Brick Form
A creator has submitted a design for LEGO Daft Punk helmets to be selected for the next batch of LEGO collectible items.
LEGO has an initiative where creators can submit ideas that they believe would make good collectibles for the future. For a product to be considered by the LEGO team, the creator must have a minimum of 10,000 subscribers.
Model ideas for Daft Punk helmets were submitted to the LEGO website by Eliot O’Brien. Currently, he has more than 4880 fans.
The figure created by ‘Brien shows a flawless representation of the electronic duo. Although the hand-held component is small and appears to be perfect, O’Brien admitted that it was difficult to model the curvatures of the delicate helmets.
In his submission page, he stated: “The mainly-curved shapes were a great challenge to figure out with Lego bricks, especially with Guy-Manuel’s helmet, though the windscreen from the UCS Slave-I proved to be an invaluable asset. Though the builds use a lot of chrome pieces, they could be substituted for the more common flat silver and pearl gold colors without compromising too much on the overall look.”
“I am a huge fan of Daft Punk’s music and would personally love to see an idea like this become an official set. If you also enjoy listening to the band, music in general or would just like the helmets as a display piece, please consider supporting the project!”
