About This Item
Welcome in the Year of the Horse with the Galloping Horse Canvas (80119) building toy for girls and boys ages 10 and up. This creative construction set celebrates the Chinese New Year (also known as the Lunar New Year) and Spring Festival traditions with the powerful symbolism of the horse, representing strength, vitality, and the swift arrival of good fortune in the new year. The set features a printed canvas backdrop with a brush painting—an ancient art form that captures movement and spirit with masterful brushstrokes—of 4 galloping horses. Kids can construct 4 brick-built horses with poseable legs and 2 minifigures: a traditional brush painter and a festival-goer in a colorful Year of the Horse costume with a decorative horse painting scroll accessory. Once assembled, builders can bring their artwork to life by turning a handle to activate a movement feature that makes the horses appear to gallop right out of the painting! The 4 brick-built and 4 painted horses total 8 — a number that symbolizes prosperity and good luck in Chinese culture. Perfect for families celebrating Spring Festival or anyone who appreciates meaningful art and cultural traditions, this set makes a wonderful birthday gift or anytime treat. For more building fun, parents can help kids access Build Together mode in the LEGO Builder app, where friends and family can collaborate on building different parts of the set using their own devices. Contains 1,650 pieces.
