Catbus (My Neighbor Totoro)

Build the bus stop where the sisters encounter Totoro in the rain with this creation. The set includes Satsuki and Mei minifigs, plus Totoro, Chu Totoro (blue), and Chibi Totoro (white). They can be displayed on the ground in the rain or on top of a tree branch to recreate the movie’s poster art. And, of course, it includes a brick-built Catbus with seats for everyone.

Kodama (Princess Mononoke)

Build one of the fan-favorite forest spirits with this LEGO Studio Ghibli set. The figure is about eight inches tall and stands on a tree branch; below is a bug sitting on a leaf. Its curious face appears to be observing a few moths buzzing around in the air. The set really captures the spirit of the Kodama, and its simple, unbusy design would make a great addition to any Ghibli collection.

Fujimoto’s Boat (Ponyo)

Take the plunge with this LEGO Studio Ghibli set. The Basking Shark’s interior can hold minifigs, and its top lifts off to reveal an interior with the ship’s wheel, a cabinet, and a table. Along with the two boats from the movie, it includes three minifigs: Ponyo with a ramen bowl, chopsticks, and a backpack; Sosuke with a green bucket; and Fujimoto with a little fish Ponyo in a globe of water and a potion bottle.

Spirited Away Brickheadz

Build Chihiro, Haku, Yubaba, and No-Face with this 978-piece set. The characters can be displayed separately or on a stand inspired by the bathhouse’s Shoji screens and wooden floors.

My Neighbor Totoro Theatrical Poster

This set offers you a different way to display your fandom. Recreate the beloved movie’s original Japanese poster with this LEGO Art style set. It’s three-dimensional; Satsuki and her umbrella stand out from the frame for added depth. This set needs around 400 votes to hit 5k – make sure to give it your support.

Howl’s Moving Castle

This brick-built version of the castle features small houses with red and yellow roofs, steam vents, and three black circular cannons. It also has chicken-like legs and feet, red wings, goofy facial features, and a tongue that hangs out of its mouth. Open up the castle to reveal the living space with a fireplace for Calcifer.

Castle In The Sky

Studio Ghibli’s first film is recreated with this artistic set that takes builders into the clouds.

The scene shown here corresponds to the moment when Pazu and Sheeta discover the flying city after crossing the storm in their glider. Battered by the winds, they arrive in a city abandoned by man, but not by life. Nature has reclaimed its rights here. Nature’s vital and regenerative force has preserved the best and most beautiful things on the island.  The protagonists are welcomed by a guardian. Without humans, the robot soldiers become simple “gardeners” and ardent defenders of life. Is there a nobler use of technology than protecting life?
