Gertie Goat's Gattling Girdle
Possibly even more controversial than LEGO's links with Shell, was its release of the "Duplo Death-Squad" series of models, based on cute farm animals. The first of the sets was "Gertie Goat's Gattling Girdle", described as the ultimate in caprine-mounted anti-aircraft weaponry. The designers were sacked by The LEGO Group but went on to create the highly successful My Little Pony "Four Ponies of the Apocalypse" series.
These builds were obviously inspired by Andy Baumgart's brilliant Fabuland at war series. I'm very busy with work at the moment, not having had day off for over two weeks now and I haven't time to build big spaceships. Seeing the farm animals at a discount on amazon inspired me to play!
