The giant Lego appeared on Siesta Key beach Tuesday morning. “No Real Than You Are” was written on its shirt, along with “Ego Leonard” and the number 8. Local newspapers report the name “Ego Leonard” is the name of a Netherlands artist, but it wasn’t immediately clear who was behind the work. The story of the Lego man has gotten worldwide attention.

Knight says the Lego man is being well kept and hopes the giant fiberglass man can be placed on display somewhere in the community.
