Description

A villain's transformation

Maleficent's shift from fairy to dragon is one of the most memorable scenes in Sleeping Beauty, and set 43240 turns that moment into a standalone display model. Built from 583 pieces, it favours display value over play features, with an open jaw, clawed feet and large wings giving the dragon a menacing silhouette. It sits alongside the human character it grew from, tying the model back to the story it is based on. The build works outward from a posable spine and wing joints, with the head and claws set last to lock in the finished pose.

Colours and detail

The build leans on black and dark purple as its base tones, lifted by pearl gold and lime accents. That pairing keeps the dragon looking dark and dramatic while the gold picks out horns, claws and scale detail. With 185 distinct elements, the parts mix is fairly varied for a set of this size, particularly around the wings and head where several specialised pieces are used. Lime appears only sparingly, on a handful of scales and trim pieces, which keeps the dark palette from feeling flat or one-note.

Two minifigures included

Alongside the dragon, the set includes two minifigures that represent the human side of the story. For collectors building a shelf of LEGO® Disney characters, that is a welcome extra beyond the centrepiece build. Pairing one large showpiece with smaller figures is a common pattern in this theme, and it makes the set work equally well as a solo display or alongside other sets from the same range. Anyone after a single striking shelf piece rather than a full diorama gets a compact, high-recognition option here.

Checking the parts list

If you want to see exactly which colours and shapes make up the dragon's body, wings or the minifigures, the full parts list for 43240 is on this page. That's useful if you need to reorder a specific piece or want to match elements against other sets already in your collection. The black and dark purple base bricks pair easily with other fantasy-leaning sets, while the gold trim pieces work best as deliberate accents in your own builds.
