Bender Bending Rodríguez, also known as Bender on the animated television series Futurama, is taking building block form as this alcohol cabinet dubbed the 'LEGO Bender.'
Built by Adrian Drake of BrickFrenzy, this LEGO creation debuted at the recent Bickworld convention in Chicago and got Drake a few nominations and prizes. It is amazingly built and extremely detailed, thanks to the countless hours Drake put in to make it; it took him almost a month to build the six foot statue and needed over 20,000 LEGO bricks.
While the statue looks amazing on its own, it also serves another purpose: it has a secretive compartment that holds booze and cigars. Concealed in Bender's chest cavity, the shelf caters to all your favorite vices.
