Horizon Forbidden West comes to Lego
Just before the game released today Lego announces a very cool set coming inspired by Horizon Forbidden West:
Build the ultimate LEGO® brick model (76989) of the most iconic Horizon machine in the Forbidden West: the Tallneck. Use clever building techniques to capture authentic details of this Communications Class machine, from its smooth, disc-shaped head to its long, slim legs. Display the Tallneck on a stand with brick-built Horizon landscape details, including a birch tree and rusty stoplight. A new-for-May-2022 Aloy minifigure with weapons, plus a Watcher figure with a choice of blue, yellow or red eyes, complete a striking centerpiece.
A delightful treat for yourself or a Horizon gift for the gaming fan in your life, the set includes a booklet featuring step-by-step building instructions, plus the inside story of how LEGO designers created the model.
