[LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-expert-colosseum) introduces another set to join its [LEGO Idea series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-bob-ross) with the Tuxedo Cat set. It is an adorable black-and-white cat once it is fully constructed, comprised of 1,710 pieces. A notable feature of the new set is that the cat's eyes can be changed to blue or yellow depending on the choice of the builder.

Another custom element is the option of an open or closed-mouth expression. Other adjustable finishes are found throughout the puzzle at the head, tail, paws, and ears to create playful poses. The kit is packed with [illustrated steps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-microscope) that take builders through the intricate process. For a more premium experience, the Builder app has 3D digital viewing tools and more instructions.
