Man creates Lego figure costume with human-like skin

SAN DIEGO, July 28 (UPI) -- A man created a "lifelike" interpretation of what Lego's miniature figures would look like with human-like skin.

YouTube channel Tested shared a video of Frank Ippolito wearing a life-sized silicon mask designed in the shape of a Lego figure head around San Diego Comic Con.

Ippolito said the character, which he named "Creepyfig," was inspired by the idea of an alternate universe of people whose bodies were shaped like Lego figures.

A separate video shows the week-long process of Ippolito and Norman Chan sculpting the 14-pound mask which featured eyebrows and other skin-like features.

Ippolito and Chan also sculpted two crescent shaped hands, inspired by the Lego figure's design, which also featured the "creepy" skin texture as well as wrinkles and fingernails.
