The title asks all we need to know. Want to repurpose lego kits? well the people over at rebrickable have you covered. what really grabbed my attention was of course their Lord of the rings rebricked Tree Ent out of the Bonsai tree kit. Check out the video below and check out Rebrickable.com
Built as a posable display model, the shepherd of trees is ready to carry Merry and Pippin (minifigures not part of build) high in his branches as they march toward Isengard. Featuring strong, fixed legs for stability, articulated arms, head and hips, and lush green foliage, this model tries to capture the magic and mystery of Tolkien’s world.
