Godzilla meets LEGO, setting record for highest piece count in Ideas series

The LEGO Group will release its first Godzilla-themed set, LEGO Ideas Godzilla (21375), on the 27th. Built with a total of 5,363 bricks, the set marks the highest piece count in the history of the LEGO Ideas series.

The completed model stands approximately 70 cm tall. At a scale where a LEGO minifigure placed alongside it reaches around Godzilla's ankle, the set features textured scaly skin, jagged dorsal fins, and a long tail. Joints from the shoulders down to the elbows, wrists, and fingers are articulated, allowing it to be posed in various ways for display.

An effect brick depicting Godzilla's Heat Ray is also included. By swapping out the tongue piece with this brick, builders can recreate the iconic cinematic scene where Godzilla fires its Heat Ray toward the sky.

The product originated as a fan submission on the LEGO Ideas platform. It is modeled after the Godzilla featured in Legendary Entertainment's Monsterverse monster film series. Godzilla is an iconic character that has appeared in movies, TV series, comics, and games for over 70 years since first gracing the big screen in 1954.

LEGO fan designer Matthew Esposito said, "As a longtime fan of both LEGO building and Godzilla, I wanted to capture Godzilla's shape, scale, and features as accurately as possible," adding, "I hope fans experience the joy of building Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, themselves with this new set."

Amber Sheppo, Vice President of Consumer Products and Partnerships at Legendary Entertainment, said, "We are thrilled to partner with the LEGO Group, who showed an incredible partnership, to bring the legendary monster Godzilla to life as a new LEGO set."
