![]() It still captures the essence of the game perfectly The fins on the back of its body and head are all moveable, as are the golden stems erupting from its neck, so it's fun to move these around until they're exactly how you want them for your Tallneck. The way the design layers the Lego effectively mimics the robotic creature's in-game reality, with blocks elsewhere used to bring to life hydraulics and other mechanisms. ![]() And with the entire set coming in at 13.5 inches tall, it's impressive on a shelf.Įvery time I look at the Lego Tallneck, I can't help but marvel at the smallest details. The sense of scale really makes this set come together too, with Aloy's minifig against the Tallneck and the Watcher nearly exactly what you'll find in-game. ![]() Obviously, the Tallneck is the piece de resistance, but the added intrigue around its feet really adds to the overall effect - the Watcher weaving through the legs of the Tallneck, and Aloy able to lurk nearby, stand atop the Tallneck itself, or hang from the handholds located at the back of its head. When you've got everything assembled with the Lego Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck set, what you get is almost an in-game snapshot.

You also get to create some flowers for additional detail along with a yellow-leafed tree, and the aforementioned reclaimed-by-nature traffic light. Rocky outcrops are added atop the textured grass, with a smaller section of dirt. It's oval in shape, and a fairly complex structure is overladen with terrain that creates your eventual finished piece. The base is the first major part of this build. Despite its size, the Watcher has plenty of detail that brings the little sentry robot to life and really adds personality to the diorama you'll eventually end up with. They're both quick and easy builds, but there's been lots of love given to their designs. You'll start with Aloy, and then move onto the Watcher. The instructions are brilliantly straightforward, with the first few pages of the manual dedicated to giving context to the world of the game, the Tallneck, Aloy (including comparisons between game concept art and the brilliant minifig replica), and some of the other machines of the Horizon series, which is a nice touch. ![]() The Lego Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck set is made up of 1,222 pieces, which are spread across eight bags.
