Catbus? More like Monorail Cat...bus...

Catbus? More like Monorail Cat...bus... photo


Last week, we saw Annemarie Brown's nine-inch custom LOST Vinylmation. An impressive piece for fans of LOST, it's still available for auction over at the Cancer Gets LOST site. I really can't get enough of it and I wish I had the scratch to bid on it. You know, get a nice piece of art and donate to charity. Everybody wins.

This time around, I'm going to show you another one of her customs that she recently posted on her twitter account. Instead of the standard Mickey mold, she chose to use one of the monorail molds to make a wicked-looking Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro. As you can see above and in the gallery, Brown got good use out of that monorail mold and in the process has created a new desire within me. I now wish for there to be a Disney/Ghibli park that features monorail Catbuses like the one above. To be honest, I've had that dream for a while, but she did re-ignite that dream that will never come true. Oh, so many tears.

Anyway, what do you guys think of Brown's Monorail Catbus?
