muji and LEGO have partnered to create new ‘LEGO bricks and paper’ kits, a DIY toy set that lets users construct 3D animals and other figures, including functioning spinning tops and toy airplanes. the first editions of the set, featured on designboom in 2009 (here!), are now joined by ‘animals and vehicles‘, ‘movement‘, ‘animals‘, and a new ‘basic‘ kit, which collectively contain perforated paper shapes to create giraffes, ladybugs, boats, rockets, fruits, trees, and other designs. users can also invent their own custom shapes by cutting and punching paper to use with the LEGO pieces, consisting of regular and jointed LEGO blocks and caps to permit the secure fastening of paper inbetween.
