LEGO is one of those brands that is able to appeal to pretty much everyone. The Danish toy company has adequately been able to keep up with the interests of new generations of kids while also holding onto the interest of young LEGO fans after they grow up into adulthood. You can see this in the wide range of offerings there are out there for LEGO sets, with toy based sets from children’s shows to bouquets of LEGO flowers sitting on the shelf in every millennial’s home.
This LEGO Ideas Tuxedo Cat threads the needle and appeals to kids and adults alike. Right now, you can get it on sale for 18% off. Typically, this set for cat lovers sells for an even $100, but the Amazon discount ends up taking it down to just $82 for a limited time.
More Than Just a Static Display Model
This lifelike model stands as tall as you’d expect a real life tuxedo cat to stand. It measures at just over 12.5 inches tall and is comprised of a total of 1,710 pieces. It makes for a great gift for any animal lover you know or just as a nice little piece of home decor for your own shelf.
The LEGO tuxedo cat has a bit of possibility to it. You can rotate the cat’s head, adjust the cat’s ears, and the paws and tail can be set to different poses as well. The face can also be customized with either yellow or blue eyes. You can even choose to go one and one to give the cat a touch of heterochromia. The mouth can also be constructed as either open or closed. When it’s open, you can see it’s tiny little blep tongue and teef. It’s pretty cute, not going to lie.
You can have even more fun with the build if you follow along using the LEGO Builder app. Instead of flipping through the pages of the paper instructions with 2D images, the app can display your build in 3D. This lets you view the model from multiple angles, helping eliminate confusion when some steps are shown from a weird perspective. You can zoom in and rotate the whole thing around. Plus you can bookmark your progress if you need to walk away from the build then return to exactly where you were when you are ready.
Though, in the case of this particular LEGO set, the instruction booklet is really nice. Not only does it guide you step-by-step through the build, but it contains an interview with the LEGO fan that designed the set.
