Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 8-foot model, which has a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.

At least he didn't walk out on his own and destroy the town. Godzilla would have surely followed.

Is there no end to dumping garbage into the oceans? What will be next? A discarded golden arch? A statue of Mickey Mouse?
