Gorilla Legend Beast

The Gorilla Legend Beast, set number 70125-1, was released by The Lego Group in early 2014 as part of the Legends of Chima theme. This series explored a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animal tribes, each vying for the power of Chi. The Legend Beasts were introduced as smaller, more accessible buildable creatures that accompanied the larger vehicle sets, representing the elemental spirits or guardians of the Chima tribes.

Designed to be a compact model, the set emphasizes the articulated nature of the gorilla character, incorporating specific parts to reflect the theme’s aesthetic of bio-mechanical animals. It was marketed primarily to younger builders seeking a quick build experience that integrated directly into the play patterns established by the broader Legends of Chima narrative. Upon release, the set was recognized for its effective use of limited parts to create a recognizable character silhouette, serving as a functional entry point into the Chima universe.
