Prepare for the Day of the Dead In Style with LEGO Ideas La Catrina
Get ready to build: LEGO’s brand-new LEGO Ideas La Catrina brings an icon of the Day of the Dead to life.
Halloween is right around the corner, with Día de los Muertos following right behind it. This iconic holiday in Mexican culture is now being translated into brick form, as LEGO unveils its brand-new LEGO Ideas La Catrina set. La Catrina is one of the most recognizable symbols of Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. She was originally a zinc etching created around 1910 by José Guadalupe Posada. In the artwork La Calavera Catrina, the depiction of an elegant female skeleton wearing a dress and decorated hat would soon become a fixture of Día de los Muertos celebrations.
LEGO now brings La Catrina to life with an impressive 1,212-piece set that will stand at a whopping 17 inches tall. The set features impressive details, from her skeletal structure and elegant dress to her signature hat, marigolds, and butterfly. Her hands and arms can also be posed, allowing fans to add their own flair to this LEGO Ideas set. Fans can already prepare for the Day of the Dead with La Catrina, which is now available for purchase for $139.99 on the LEGO Store.
