Where it came from
The Year of the Dog set, released in 2018 as part of the Lego seasonal series, was designed to celebrate the Chinese Zodiac. These sets were introduced to cater to the growing international market for culturally specific commemorative builds, often distributed during the Lunar New Year period. The design features a stylized, brick-built depiction of a dog, characterized by the blocky, expressive aesthetic common to Lego's small animal builds of that era.
The set was received as a charming novelty by collectors, particularly those interested in the series of twelve zodiac animals. While it was not designed by a singular high-profile artist, the series followed a consistent visual language established by Lego designers to ensure modularity and displayability. It remains a sought-after entry for enthusiasts of holiday-themed brick sets who appreciate the integration of traditional iconography into the medium of interlocking plastic bricks.
