Shaun of the Dead ... in Lego..?

Ah, Shaun.  I think you've got some red on you.

You know you've really made it when there is a Lego version of you.

That being said, Simon Pegg is 'this' close to 'making it happen.'.  It's still not a done deal, because, apparently, Lego will only consider a project if it can garner 10,000 supporters (seems kinda arbitrary to me, but I guess someone had to pick a number  from somewhere).

Pegg was determined to make it a reality, and using Twitter, he pushed the "Winchester Project" (cloaked in the same secrecy as the Manhattan Project) -- to its goal!  The designs and concepts have been submitted to Lego, who now have to consider the many factors that make Lego... well... "Lego"-- in this world.  They will consider:  what does this say about Lego?  And, to be honest, will it make money?

They're not Batman or Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it's an idea I absolutely love.  (I'm not going to be popular with the statement I'm about to write...) but I probably wouldn't go out and buy them.  They'd be a fun conversation piece at my next party.  Once.  That being said, if Lego goes ahead with Shaun of the Dead figures, it will be a bold  and progressive step, and I will salute them (and eat crow).

They look cool (see below) and Simon has really been pushing hard but...  Simon, I love you man (and everything I've seen you in), but I think it ain't gonna happen.  Or shouldn't.

Now, make a Shaun of the Dead Lego video game (like the Star Wars, Batman games)-- and I'd be all over that!!

And, of course, I welcome opposing points of view.
