A 286-piece fan model based on Howl's Moving Castle cleared 1,000 supporters on Nov. 6, 2026, and now has extra time to reach 5,000.
A fan-built LEGO Ideas project based on Howl's Moving Castle has passed 3,000 supporters within its first week, according to cbr.com. The submission, titled "Calcifer From Howl's Moving Castle," was posted by LEGO Ideas user Jason _Mocer on Nov. 3, 2026, and reached 3,149 supporters in its opening week.
The build cleared the 1,000-supporter milestone on Nov. 6, 2026. It has also been granted an additional 600 days to reach the 5,000-supporter threshold required under the platform's rules.
The model uses 286 pieces and stands about 12.8 cm tall and 13.7 cm wide, with the fire demon figure resting on three medium LEGO logs.
Second Ghibli project in review
The Calcifer submission follows another Studio Ghibli-inspired project on the platform. In October 2026, a 5,000-piece Howl's castle replica by user Butterbarr reached the 10K-supporter milestone on LEGO Ideas.
LEGO will review the 10K castle replica alongside other submissions later in 2026. Ghibli-themed LEGO Ideas projects have previously reached official review, mostly builds based on My Neighbor Totoro.
Howl's Moving Castle, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, was released on September 9, 2004.
