| Lego reveals Dune set, and a Baron Harkonnen minifig that has to be seen to be believed |
LEGO Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter, unveiled on Tuesday, is a meticulous recreation of the dragonfly-esque vehicles featured in Frank Herbert's iconic science fiction series, as brought to life in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part One and the eagerly anticipated Dune: Part Two. When assembling its 1,369 pieces into a two-and-a-half-foot-long model, it showcases aircraft blades that can flap, retract, and rotate through 180 degrees of motion, along with fully functional movable landing gear.
The set also includes a collection of minifigures, immortalizing beloved characters such as Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson's Lady Jessica, Josh Brolin's Gurney Halleck, Zendaya's Chani, Oscar Isaac's Leto Atreides, Sharon Duncon-Brewster's Liet Kynes, and Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho.
What truly sets this release apart is the exceptional minifigure of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. The imposing figure is clad in the longest robe known to man and is an absolute masterpiece in its own right. This minifigure is a must-see, and it's the highlight of this Lego Dune set.
"The unique and creative design of this product perfectly aligns with both the Dune and LEGO spirit," stated Amber Sheppo, Vice President of Consumer Products and Partnerships for Legendary Entertainment. It's worth noting that the characters in Dune are often depicted under the influence of various substances, adding an interesting layer to their LEGO counterparts.
But what's hiding in the background?
It's the most remarkable minifigure I've ever encountered, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, a standard-sized minifig adorned in the longest robe conceivable. It truly is an incredible sight, requiring no further commentary.
The LEGO Icons Dune™ Atreides Royal Ornithopter is now open for pre-orders and will be available for purchase starting on February 1, 2024, with a retail price of $164.99 USD.
