The verdict

This is the first time Toothless has ever existed in LEGO form, and the finished model has so much personality packed into a compact display piece.

It leans into a soft, chibi-proportioned look that not everyone loves, and it only really holds one sitting pose, so go in knowing that. At around seventy dollars for an Icons set with no minifigure, though, it is honestly one of the friendlier price tags in the range. If you grew up on the films and want Toothless on your shelf, you will forgive its quirks.

The full review

What it is

I did not expect to feel much about a compact dragon statue, and then I built it and those enormous green eyes looked back at me and I got it completely. This is the first ever LEGO How to Train Your Dragon set, released alongside the 2025 film, and it puts Toothless into brick form for the very first time. He is built in a soft, rounded chibi style, sitting on his haunches with his wings up and his jaw open, and there is a brown saddle with proper buckle detail across his back that quietly acknowledges Hiccup even though Hiccup himself never shows up. The build runs across seven numbered bags and 784 pieces, and it is gentle and welcoming the whole way, which makes it a lovely one for a newer builder who still wants to see some real technique.

The catch

I will be straight with you about the caveats, because there are a few real ones. The chibi look is genuinely divisive. Some people find it adorable and some think the flat underside of the head reads more like a cartoon vulture than a Night Fury, and both reactions are fair. Posability is also very limited. The jaw, wings, and neck move, but the legs are completely fixed and only the very tip of the tail swivels, so Toothless is essentially committed to one sitting pose. Worse, if you get enthusiastic with the neck and twist it on both axes at once, sections of the model are prone to breaking loose, which is not what you want from something billed as poseable. And at Icons pricing with no minifigure at all, a few fans understandably wanted more.

Who it's for

So who ends up happy here. If you love the films and you want a characterful Toothless to sit on a shelf and make you smile every time you walk past, this is an easy yes, especially at a price that undercuts most of the Icons lineup. If you were hoping for a large, screen-accurate dragon with a full wingspan and lots of dynamic poses, or you specifically wanted a Hiccup figure to go with it, this compact display piece will probably leave you wanting. Know which camp you are in before you buy, and you will not be disappointed.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this is a genuinely relaxed experience. It is heavy on SNOT work, with around 95 studs-not-on-top pieces across the build and a lot of hinges and ball joints used purely to lock in angles rather than to make anything move. That sounds fiddly but it never is, because the sculpting is broken into digestible chunks that slowly reveal the curve of the neck and the roundness of the head. It is the kind of build where you keep tilting it to see the shape emerge.

The headline part is the pair of new curved tiles printed specially for Toothless's eyes, designed by Jae Won Lee as the model's hero feature, and the printed highlight in them is what gives him that soulful look. The prosthetic tail fin carries an emblem taken from the second film, a nice touch for fans who know the story. You also get swappable extras that live inside the mouth: a fish, a red tongue, and a plasma blast element. For 784 pieces the part-count value is fair rather than generous, but the printed eyes alone justify a lot of it.

Fun facts

01This is the very first official LEGO How to Train Your Dragon set, released on July 1, 2025 to line up with the new film.
02The big green eyes use curved half tiles that LEGO printed specially for this set, created by designer Jae Won Lee as the model's signature feature.
03There is no minifigure in the box; the designer says minifigures were never part of the plan, likely to keep the price down and the focus entirely on Toothless.
04The emblem on the prosthetic tail fin is lifted from the second animated film, and the saddle detailing nods to Hiccup's modifications even though he is not included.
