The Moomins, created by Finnish/Swedish author Tove Jansson, are timeless characters long cherished in Scandinavia, Japan, and increasingly the world, thanks to new printings of the amazing storybooks and comics, merchandise, movies, and even a new video game. One medium that Moomin hasn’t conquered yet is LEGO, but Maxx Davidson corrects this oversight. Moomin, ever the awkward romantic, is a perfect subject for Maxx’s whimsical style of building. I would love to see Jansonn’s characters come to LEGO so that I can admire them as I drink from one of my many Moomin mugs. If the residents of Moominvalley continue to grow in recognition, maybe they’ll eventually make it through the Ideas or Icons lines. Until then, I’ll hold Maxx’s model in my heart.
