Duplo was a big part of my childhood. It was like Lego only bigger, like Playmobil only not shit. My siblings and I loved Duplo and we played with it often, even when we were long past its recommended age range.

By following the instructions, you could make things like this zoo:

Sometimes we didn't follow the instructions though. And that's when we had the most fun. Because when you use your imagination, things get EPIC.

Or shit. Depends on the day really.

A tower that reached the living room ceiling

My greatest achievement in life was building a Duplo tower that reached the living room ceiling.

Just marvel at just how fucking tall it is. The feat was rendered only marginally less impressive by the fact that I was fifteen at the time while the recommended age range for Duplo is 3-5 years.

Crap

Our favourite thing to build was crap, like this crap here:

On first sight it looks like a random assortment of Duplo. That's what it looks like on second inspection too, because that's what it is.

Note that the entrance is guarded by a sailor and someone's nan.

A giant red Duplo penis

Here's my brother holding a giant red Duplo penis.

Because of the angle the photo was taken, he looks like seven-feet-tall, like Hagrid towering over Harry.

Actually it might be a sword in his hands. But I'm not entirely sure. It could be a penis. I think it's a penis. Definitely a penis. A giant red Duplo penis.

Thor's hammer

Here's my brother wielding Thor's hammer, except it's a shit version of Thor's hammer because it's made of Duplo:

I would like to see Thor use that to take on Thanos. I reckon it would fall apart even before he gets the first hit in.

This alien idol

When my brother wasn't building Mjolnirs out of Duplo or giant red penises, he was building weird idols to alien gods.

To be frank, I'm not sure what that is. It looks like an Egyptian pharoah but with green skin and red slits for eyes. And made of Duplo, obviously.

I reckon he was trying to revive evil ancient Egyptian gods and we didn't realise at the time.

Want to build crap of your own? Duplo is available to buy at Amazon.
