A Tool fan has designed a Lego set based around the band that has a chance of becoming an actual Lego product if it earns enough support.
As part of the Lego Ideas initiative, an entrant who goes by the user name “blocksandmocs” has created a Lego set featuring figures of all four band members and an impressive stage setup complete with lighting, rigging, a Tool backdrop, and a spectacular drum set.
In a proposal, “blocksandmocs” wrote about the set, “This project is a tribute to the legendary rock band Tool. I was inspired from the recent fulfillment of a long anticipation . . . that Tool will release a new album. Tool have accompanied me throughout my life, as a meaningful and integral part in the soundtrack of my life, to this day and on.”
As of this posting, “blocksandmocs” has roughly 2,000 supporters. If an idea earns 10,000 supporters, the design is reviewed by Lego experts with the chance to have it manufactured and hit store shelves. Fans can go to the Lego Ideas site to help the project reach its goal.
Tool itself will kick off a tour of Australia and New Zealand on February 14th, and will return to the States for a handful of gigs in March. The band is supporting its Fear Inoculum album, which arrived last August.
