 Monday, September 21st, 2020 at 9:00am by Andrew, BZPower News Manager
Today LEGO is announcing their next Star Wars statue-style set that, while missing the initial hype-train from last year, is sure to be a huge hit. Joining the likes of Master Yoda, BB-8, and a Porg is 75318 The Child, straight out of The Mandalorian. The 1073-piece set will be releasing on October 30th (the same day that Season 2 of the show premiers!) and will sell for $80 in the US. To check out the adorable photos of this almost-life-size model, as well as the press release and a video, read on!
THE LEGO GROUP REVEALS LEGO STAR WARS THE CHILD CONSTRUCTION SET
Today, the LEGO Group reveals its latest construction set featuring the beloved character from the Lucasfilm series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. The LEGO Star Wars The Child construction set is inspired by the small-in-size but powerful-in-charisma character, the Child (or Baby Yoda as fans have affectionately dubbed the character), from the series. The building set will be available globally from October 30th, with pre-orders starting today as part of the Mando Mondays program announcement from Disney and Lucasfilm.
Measuring just under 20cm (7.8 inches) in height, builders can experience the fun of building a set inspired by one of their favourite The Mandalorian stars in 1,073 pieces. Designed for fans aged 10 and over, builders can make the model their own. With a posable head, movable ears and an adjustable mouth, fans can choose from a range of the Child's famous expressions when putting their finished model on display.
"When I received the challenge to create a LEGO brick-built version of the Child, I knew that I had to get it just right" says Michael Lee Stockwell, Design Manager, LEGO Star Wars. "The goal was to capture the charm, and above all, the cuteness of the character, so we worked meticulously, choosing and placing each and every brick. We even included authentic details like the gearstick knob - a favourite toy of the Child as seen in the series."
The construction set comes with an information plaque, which includes the Child's height and age, and a LEGO Star Wars Minifigure of the Child to complete a charming display.
75318 LEGO Star Wars The Child construction set will be available for pre-order from 21st September and then globally from 30th October, directly via LEGO.com, LEGO Stores and other retailers.
As a Star Wars fan, I think you all know that I will be planning on adding this to my collection, and you can expect a live build of it at some point. Many thanks to LEGO and BZPower Ambassador Tufi Piyufi for sharing this information with us! What do you think of the model? Share your thoughts in the Talkback.
