Hey Laser Lips! Johnny 5 may become a Lego set

Johnny 5 was the robot from Short Circuit – a film I watched over and over when I was a kid – WALL-E and Chappie owe a lot to Johnny 5.

PepaQuin is a Lego builder who put together this wonderful version of the character. He submitted it to LEGO Ideas and it has reached the 10,000 votes needed to move it to the review stage.

This is how LEGO describe that:

This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Review Board” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.

Fingers crossed it makes it thorough as it looks fantastic.
