AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.

Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

The expression on lego man's face is almost sinister in that second picture.

I find it amusing that this weird thing washes up and the first thing they do with it is sit it on the beach for kids to play with.

that is the coolest thing i have ever seen.... i like the "no real than you are" on his shirt... very "all your base are belong to us"-esque. <3


bahaha ----------> A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

I find it even more amusing that the second picture was taken from an angle where it looks like Sinister Lego Man is crushing that poor woman's head. owie!

maybe its like, a trojan horse type thing... full of Englishmen planning to sack the dutch coast after sundown! ( and teatime, of course)

"gents, we must sack the dutch coast! "
"why then?"
"we just must! we havent sacked anything in a fortnight!"
"cheerio. how'll we do it then lads? a horse like the trojans?"
"too wish-wosh, i say! we've gotta make it something those blokes will never suspect"
" a tin soldier, then? "
"it'll rust, you air biscuit!"
"i'll say what! a giant, gramatically incorrect lego man! the type with the knob on its head and whatnot! They'll think it a gift from the states! "
"oh capitol!"
"brilliant, what"
