Lego has released plenty of video game-inspired sets before, but it’s getting ready to introduce its biggest gaming collaboration yet — or at least the tallest.

Guerilla Games

Horizon Forbidden West brings back lots of iconic robotic designs from Horizon Zero Dawn, including the massive Tallneck, and soon you can build one of your own.

The Tallneck Lego model clocks in at 1,222 pieces — not the most ever for a gaming Lego set, but enough to make building it an epic undertaking.

The Lego Tallneck stands at 13.5 inches high, with a an 8.5-inch base.

The stand is adorned with foliage to mimic the game and — more importantly — an adorably tiny Watcher robot.

The Watcher even comes with multiple eye colors, so you can choose between cute mode and murder mode at your whim.

The set includes a brand-new minifigure of Aloy, star of Horizon Forbidden West. She comes with a bow and spear, just in case the included Watcher gets out of hand.

PlayStation

Unlike in the game, this Tallneck presumably won’t launch an EMP when Aloy reaches the antenna on its head.

The Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck Lego set launches in May and sells for $79.99 (just a bit more than a PS5 copy of the game).

You can check out the new set and pre-order when it becomes available on Lego’s website.
