Over the past few years LEGO has released several Spongebob Square Pants sets.  There is even one of a large robotic Spongebob that is ‘controlled’ by Plankton.  Like a lot of newer sets, it gets most of its detail from stickers and large pieces, rather than a large number of more basic elements.  It is part of an overall trend that I’ve also see many of the City themed sets follow.  After seeing the LEGO version of a big Spongebob, I decided to do a similar-sized sculpture of my own.  

A couple more pictures follow, including the Spongebob picture I used for inspiration for this model.

Above is Spongebob with the small picture tucked behind his eyelashes.  Some of my favorite parts of Spongebob are his antenna eyelashes, the spatula in his right hand, and his red tie.  You might also notice I used a 1×6 10x LEGO Brick as a platform to photograph him.

Amazingly, even with his 1×1 brick legs, he can balance without support. Spongebob is probably lonely without his pet snail Gary, or best friend Patrick Star, but with all the rare colors in these characters, Spongbob will have to be be content with LEGO Elmo as company for now.
