Where it came from
Released in 2023 as part of LEGO's seasonal holiday collection, the Nutcracker set 40640-1 continues the company's tradition of offering brick-built festive decor. The design draws direct inspiration from the classic wooden Nutcracker figures popularized by 19th-century German folk art, which gained global cultural prominence through Tchaikovsky's ballet. The model is scaled for tabletop display and features a poseable jaw, allowing the figure to mimic the traditional nut-cracking function.
The set was developed by the LEGO design team to serve as an accessible, giftable build for the winter season. By utilizing a stylized, blocky aesthetic consistent with the brand's modern design language, the set translates the ornate details of traditional craftsmanship into a contemporary building experience. It was received favorably by collectors for its clever use of standard elements to recreate iconic military-style attire, making it a staple of the holiday product cycle.
