LEGO teams with Pixar for Luxo Jr. set

LEGO and Pixar have teamed up to develop the LEGO Ideas Luxo Jr. Collectible Display model.

Available from June 1st, the set recreates Luxo Jr, the toy desk lamp synonymous with classic Pixar movies and heralding from the 1986 Pixar short.

The model is fully articulated and includes a buildable Pixar ball. The ball opens up to reveal hidden easter eggs inspired by popular Disney and Pixar movies including Up, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Monsters, Inc. Toy Story and Finding Nemo.

The set was designed by London-based LEGO fan Toby Brett, as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. Of his design, Toby said: “I’m a huge fan of all the Pixar films, which were a big part of my childhood and Luxo Jr. is the mascot that perfectly sums up my love for these movies. I spent a lot of time looking at photos of Luxo Jr. to make my model as screen-accurate and recognisable as possible.”
