This is definitely from Horizon Zero Dawn, since it's the very first one you encounter in the city. All of them have a different layout of the golden plates at the neck and it fits the first one perfectly. Btw if you move all 4 legs back by one snap of the joints, the head will be perfectly horizontal instead of leaning forward.

Exactly. It may be based od an Ideas design, made before Forbidden West was out.

Imagine being a lego fan and a fan of this game. It's a match made in heaven

It is, I can assure you from personal experience :) This set is like a dream I didn't know I had come true. I am sure it is what some others feel about Optimus Prime :)

That's how I feel about the DeLorean. But now I will wait for the day they release a Legend of Zelda Lego set...

As someone who'd easily put the Horizon games in their top 5 games of all time, this set is easily my favorite lego set of all time. It's just straight up perfect, I can't remember feeling so fulfilled after building a lego set, even ignoring how much I love the games. So much respect to the designers on this one.

Wouldn't mind a Horizon series of robots... same with the Optimus Prime set. A Transformers series of transformable characters... Oh man, too many sets, too little money.

vote with your wallet dude. I'm on the fence about this one mostly because FOMO about the current Mega Construx Halo Pelican with a Brohammer figure that might never get made again. But I think I'll save this one for next pay period, to vote with my wallet

The music at the start of every Jang review has become so iconic.

5:50 While the yellow might stick out there, I'd actually say it's more accurate than gold and I wish all of the gold parts were yellow too

I think they used gold to emphasize how those bits are highlighted by the Focus.

It's rare that a lego set looks like a labor of love. Being included in the adult line helps in this case, no need to put in playfeatures. I would have liked some poseability, but it's a displaypiece, and it's good for that. I haven't bought lego sets in years. And i haven't played the game either. But the order is in, this set is good.

This is a beautiful set. Perfect representation of the game. Perfect price point. Wonderful building techniques. Aloy's minifig is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints about this set. Nice review.

Gorgeous looking set, hopefully this set sells well so we can see more and more videogame diorama sets. Great review as always, Jang!

This set feels Worth its price compared to the dagobah set

This is the gold standard of licensed sets in my opinion. Great review

I’ve never played the games but as soon as I saw this set I fell in love. I love the build process and the design, the display of it is just incredible and it quickly became one of my favorite sets they did a really nice job with it

I finished and fell in love with both games this year and I've been a lego fan all my life, so I couldn't be happier they did this. I bought this set the day it was released and every day I marvel at how amazing it looks. I really hope they make more sets from other scenes or machines but I'm already so happy that they made this in the first place. Also quick note if you bend both legs back where the joints click once the whole body tilts up a bit and stands up straight with the head level with the ground as it should be. I wish there were specific instructions for that.

The gold elements are fairly close to what they should be for the game. The in-game colors are actually a much brighter yellow, because in the original game all the climbable surfaces were highlighted yellow. I think the gold is a good compromise between being accurate to the game and not having them stick out like a sore thumb.

Just built mine and it's a damn good set! Loved every minute of building it and the model is absolutely perfect. Just loved it!

As a massive fan of both Horizon and Lego, this set is very much an unexpected yet welcomed addition to my collection.

That is a beautiful set, and I would buy it at once.....if I were familiar with the source material :( As I am not a gamer, I appreciate the quality of the product, but have no emotional attachment.

Well, Horizon Zero Dawn rewards careful gameplay, so if you want to get into games, HZD is a good place to start.

This might be my favorite set of the year so far. It looks beautiful, includes an awesome figure and is a very useful parts pack, all at a great value. While the new SW dioramas throw quotes at you screaming that they want to be desirable collectibles, this set here just casually is and I love that!

Totally agree! Didn't expect it coming that good. This, along with the upcoming Optimus Prime, seem to be amazing display pieces, rivaling actual action figures, and accordingly priced. The Aloy minifigure is top notch.

This is one of the few times I’m actually okay with the price. I also never played the game but the thing itself looks very interesting. It’s an eyecatcher even if you doubt know about the origin. The minifigure is also very nice. This set is already going for 60€ in Europe and I even got it for 45€. With that price in mind it’s basically cheap. I’m happy with everything about this set

Yes Jang, I agree. You just look at it and go "Wow, that is cool!" I have little idea of what it is or what it does, but I like it. I like it a lot. Love that base!

The fact that it can articulate and also be a pure display model is very impressive!

Thanks Jang, great review. I bought this set in store here in Australia a few weeks ago a couple of days before release which is something I never do but as you said there is something just good about this set and so good to build too. I'm not a gamer at all and I really liked it first time I saw it.

Wife just got this for me as an anniversary gift. So excited to build it! Love the games and I’m stoked to add it to my collection!

When you said it looks like he's leaning back he isn't, that the way it stands, it's neck is shaped like that. This is one of the most spot on Lego sets in a long time. They nailed it. Another fantastic video, I love when you're excited for a set, makes the rest of us excited.

I love this build, as someone who played the games this feels spot on and it looks great on display.

I happened to find this set on a random endcap at my local Meijer the day it released. When I was in checkout, an elderly couple was behind me and asked what it was supposed to be and who it was for. I replied: "It's basically a robot dinosaur..... And it's for me." It was quite a wholesome moment. I can't wait to build it and Jang did an awesome review of the set!

i was super hyped when i saw the trailer for this, i loved the first game and definitely fell in love with these stoic graceful giants, somehting about them gives me inner peace and i love how this set looks. im just about to finish the head and yeah! the base is mesmerizing

Thanks for this review ! I too am not a gamer but this set is Awesome ! The colors are fantastic combination. The tan, blue grey, & black offset the white beautifully. The base has just the right amount of extras to set up the whole seen. 💖

I've played both games, and I adore this set. I really want the Aloy minifig if nothing else, I'm also not mad at the limited articulation, given the tallneck's unique stride they didn't need to do a lot of joints.

The fact that this set comes with a Watcher rather than a Burrower is the first sign that the designer used Zero Dawn not Forbidden west as a reference.

That is amazing!Lego really needs to expand and start making more sets like this.

Thinking about buying it, I have the perfect nook for it on my desk and it looks fantastic. It's just that I never played the games and have no feelings toward the souce material

The price and the build are fantastic. I had to get it immediately when it came out and just finished building it last night and I am super happy with this build. I also built recently the Batman Tumbler you mentioned because it was one of those builds that looked good and the price was great ($32).

Amazing set, I would love a whole series of machines

15:25 is just so hilarious and caught me off guard

I am happy that they are branching out to different themes.

Nicely done. These lego tie ins are looking really good. I can only dream that maybe one day they make a Lego version of old school Zoids.

Favorite set. Love the oval base, love the techniques used. I changed the thighs on the watcher immediately though. Blaster with studs on bottom front sides plus a round tile with bar, it creates that more Z shape to the leg. More chicken like. They are a bit fiddly but not bad. The tile with bar slots in well into the body of the Watcher and doesn’t pop out easy.

It's nice to see when they find a use for a piece like the urukhai sword that they haven't made for the last few years.

I had no idea you were a Gundan fan! love the Sazabi Ver Ka on the back shelf

Thanks, this review has made my mind up, I’m buying this immediately it’s a great looking set with lots of cool features 👍😃👍

Had a lot of fun building this one, and I hope the sales are good enough that Lego/Guerrilla Games think about making other sets. Until then I'm probably going to look for some other MOCs of Horizon machines to build (a few months back I built a smaller version of the Tallneck I found instructions online for)

So excited for this to arrive! (Ordered it first thing in the UK and it went to back order within minutes!)

One of the best compact builds, and licensed builds too.

I haven’t finished Horizon Zero Dawn but I absolutely loved what I did play. I remember hunting the tallnecks to fill out the map and it was really fun. I haven’t bought lego in ages and I knew I had to get this set. Too bad its constantly selling out.

I love this. It looks so elegant.

despite the fact that I watch basically all your reviews this is the first Lego set that I've actually purchased in probably five or six years and I'm so so happy with it I'm a huge fan of horizon

Gah, how did I not notice this review until now! This set is awesome and I agree it was definitely a pleasant surprise when it was announced! This thing looks right out of the game and that's impressive, given how complex some of the Horizon machines look. The Watcher being included is a nice bonus. The Aloy figure looks great and is adorable! Is that what birch trees really look like? Interesting. I'll have to check some pictures out. I might have to get this now and Prime may have to wait! It helps this is a lot cheaper haha.

I have no clue what so ever from what game/serie or movie this model is, but I LOVE IT!!! 😁

I really like this set. It certainly made me happy when I first saw it :)

Amazing set! Thanks Jang!

I pushed the whole model on the base forward and all the legs moved one click. Now the model stands perfectly as if its straightened out with the dish head perfectly horizontal.

This is a gorgeous model. I don't do so much Lego these days, but this is seriously tempting

Can't wait to pick this one up when it's not sold out everywhere!

Well designed set. True to the game, overall great aesthetics. Not mind-blowing, but a really clean set that delivers. They should explore more Horizon and mech-style collabs if they can keep up this quality.

I also really appreciate the restraint they showed with pricing. They could have made something and charged $150 for it. But they didn't. With how expensive lego is getting, I really appreciate that this is within the range of what I can afford for a quality display model

It's fascinating to me what lego can do when they don't put money first. This set is pretty much perfect as a model set. I'm not a fan of stickers on play sets since they will peel. But here it's just perfect. As someone who doesn't support lego anymore, this is one I definitely will buy to promote good work like this. As a fan of horizon its also so perfect

This makes me optimistic about the future for diorama sets. It would be personally awesome to see sets based on Crash Bandicoot's N'sanity Beach or Mega Man's many iconic boss fights.

Heres a little fun fact about Tallneck: When it moves it lifts both front and hind legs on one side of its body every time it makes a step, leaving the legs on the other side to balance the creature/machine when walking.

little tip, bend the four legs back just a little bit (only one peg) for the head to be leveled

just finished mine...even if you've never played this game, this is a really cool set that is also affordable (1200 pieces under $90-wow...)...i enjoyed every minute of building it...

Still waiting for mine to ship, it’s been “in warehouse” for the past few days. Salivating for it to come

Soon as I seen it I had to order it,also bought the led light kit for it aswell

What a nice set, and a great Aloy!

Seeing the top of the head just makes me want an NCC-1701-D from Star Trek

I have this set. As this is my fav game of all time I made sure to get one before they are sold out.

Hi jang great content as always

Just found one at Target Australia after being Sold out everywhere and the lowest on Ebay being AU$185 without pictures... Target AU had one on sale for AU$103 (80USD) down from the RRP AU$129 for some reason... so this is a win for me.

That head just makes me want a Lego Enterprise haha

Hi Jang, love the review,!! btw The head suppose to be 90 degree, you just need to adjust the leg slightly. The whole model will look much much nicer, trust me.

Set of the year material for me and I am coming from an extremely biased standpoint, absolutely loving both games and finding them to be Top 3 of Playstation must-plays. The set is gorgeous!

Hi! Whats your thoughts on the new bricklink designer program batch coming May 17th?

The build for the Tallneck head could be borrowed to make the disk for small Star Trek Federation builds.

The Horizon games have a lot of cool mechinal creature designs that would be amazing to see made into Lego sets.

I wasn't sure whether I would like this one or not so I bit the bullet and tried it and honestly it's awesome, really cool design for sure!

I guess you could try to put it in a walking pose by changing the angle of the "knee joints"? Just turn the piece around? Probably will get this one, looks real good despite it not being proportionate or being minifig scale (would be another giant dust collector)

LEGO should really make a series of sets of this theme! For real

I dont know the game at all but I love this set. Im tempted to buy it just because I love the way it looks

Big fan of the games. Just finished Forbidden West and just ordered this set. The set I ordered is labeled as "Zero Dawn" (The first game). I believe they have reboxed it to reflect the newer game.

My only complaint with this set is that I missed it on day 1 when it sold out, and it took until last week for Lego to restock it so I could finally get my hands on it! I've never seen a new set stay out of stock for so long.

I don’t know if they’d do more sets, but I hope so. The ‘robot dinosaur/animal’ aesthetic I think has relatively broad appeal beyond fans of the game. This is the most ‘gamey’ creature and I think eg the Thunderjaw or one of the rideable creatures would have even more appeal

This is why Lego needs to do more video game sets. Everyone wants to get their hands on the sets.

Would love to see a thunderjaw set as well

I definitely like these special one off creator expert sets they are awesome 👏

When I played Zero Dawn I thought they were some kind of area bosses and turned out they were just some tame glorified walking 5G towers. Man I was having some doubts about it but it just looks so beautiful, I've seen Star Wars UCS and other "display" model sets but this is the only set I really feel proud to have in display in my living room and not shoved in a shelf in my man cave, it's not toy like it's not some big gray plastic mountain it really looks like a pretty diorama set made with building blocks, IDK but I really need to find one for myself now.

As a big fan of the games, this set looks beautiful and the price is actually reasonable. Will buy once it’s back in stock. Not surprised it sold out.

So on the lil watcher build, the neck should have been a 1x2 with ball joint on both ends? I never played the game either but I watched some game play and it looks great. I just want the figure

I've never played a horizon game, but this looks so good I may have to pick it up

Mine is arriving today.

I don't mind lack of knees on 'statue' type models. (I yes it can be removed but to me it feels like it belongs on that base)

I really hope lego makes a thunderjaw someday

not much of a lego collector but this and the new Transformers Optimus lego set is making me want to get them.

I managed to get one last week and got it shipped. The box arrived in a questionable condition, didn’t order it from LEGO. This is, by far, one of the best building experiences. It has its own secrets and surprises, but the result is almost as good to me as the 1989 Batmobile. The value in pieces, variety and the overall quality of the entire thing may allow this set to stand the test of time much like the rest of the Machines in Horizon: they all look phenomenal, the Thunderjaw being… jawdropping… and the Broadhead being my favorite mount in any game I’ve played thanks to the sound and visual design. I’m not a big fan of Horizon’s RPG elements, but the creatures and the combat really made me interested in what crazy stuff they could offer. I’ve yet to play Forbidden West because I hope it’ll be on PC someday. A great set, that’s that.

I've never played this game, but gosh... as soon as I saw this in stores I picked one up.

This is the U.S.S. Enterprise as a living creature.

I’m so excited to get this set. ^_^ JANG, if you enjoy old-school Sci-fi AND modern open world RPGs, I strongly recommend trying out the Horizon series. Tons of fun and super interesting lore. Plus robot dinosaurs and assorted megafauna, can’t beat that. :P

Wish they'd made a quiver hip accessory.

As a huge Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West fan, I really want this kit but it sold out ludicrously fast - I checked online at 1am day of release - gone. Did a store check in the morning (my local is 25ish miles away), had it in stock. In the time it took me to drive there, sold out. Turns out they got less than 20. I've noticed Lego seem to be having issues with forecasting demand recently. Titanic, Delorean, Tallneck, T-Rex diorama and so on.

Bough it, build it, loving it!
