Where it came from
The LEGO Year of the Tiger set, numbered 40491-1, was released in early 2022 as a seasonal promotional item. It was designed to celebrate the Lunar New Year, following a tradition of releasing brick-built representations of the Chinese Zodiac animals. This set was primarily distributed as a gift-with-purchase through official LEGO channels to mark the transition into the year of the tiger.
The design of the model utilizes a stylized, chibi-inspired aesthetic common to this specific series of promotional builds. It features a brick-built tiger with posable joints and a display base decorated with traditional floral elements intended to evoke the festive atmosphere of the holiday. The set was generally well-received by collectors for its clever use of parts to capture the character of the animal within a small, accessible footprint.
