Where it came from
The Year of the Horse set, cataloged as 40779-1, was released by the LEGO Group as part of their long-running series of Lunar New Year promotional builds. Introduced in early 2024 to coincide with the arrival of the Year of the Dragon's successor in the zodiac cycle, this small-scale construction set serves as a seasonal gift-with-purchase intended to celebrate the cultural traditions associated with the Lunar New Year. Its design focuses on a stylized, brick-built horse featuring posable elements and a minimalist aesthetic typical of the brand's contemporary collectible polybag or promotional small-box offerings.
The design prioritizes accessibility and charm, utilizing a limited color palette that emphasizes the symbolic nature of the animal in Eastern astrology. By framing the creature within a display-ready format, the design team aimed to create an approachable piece for adult fans and families alike who engage with the annual cycle of zodiac-themed models. While these promotional items are not designed by a singular named artist in public records, they reflect the broader LEGO philosophy of blending cultural appreciation with the tactile, modular play patterns that define the company's design language.
