LEGO introduces a new Toothless model to celebrate the upcoming How to Train Your Dragon live-action movie coming out soon. Fans can build their own Night Fury dragon, comprised of 784 pieces. Once the puzzle is completed, the head, wings, tail, and jaw can be posed to users' liking.
Notably, fans can also choose between the option of the fish and plasma-blast attachments. Inside of the box, there is everything that users need to build the dragon, including a saddle, articulated joints, a repaired tail fin, and accessories that can be attached to the mouth. The instructions can be found at the LEGO Builder app, where the progress can be saved along the way and zoomed in to observe.
