Description
The lion dance in brick form
At the centre sits a posable lion head and body, echoing the way the traditional lion dance is performed by two dancers, complete with a moveable jaw and head for a lively pose. Around the lion figure, a small festival scene takes shape with onlookers, musicians and other elements typical of Chinese New Year celebrations. Eight minifigures populate the scene, enough to recreate both the dancers inside the lion costume and the surrounding audience and accompanying music.
Building the lion figure
Constructing the lion itself is likely the main challenge here, since the head and body are made up of many individual, partly poseable segments that suggest its curved shape and the movements typical of the dance. Smaller builds such as a stall or a simple stage backdrop round out the scene, so the set delivers more than a single figure, offering a small ensemble of figure and surroundings instead. That mix of one elaborate centrepiece and several smaller side scenes is typical of the festival series.
Colours and parts list
Red, pearl gold, light bluish grey and bright light orange define the look, picking up the classic festive colours of Chinese New Year, where red stands for luck and gold for prosperity. All 151 unique parts in the set are listed in full on this page, including colour, making it easy to search for the special pieces used in the lion's head or for red and gold parts for your own seasonal builds.
Who it suits
Lion Dance appeals to anyone interested in Chinese traditions or after a decorative set tied to Chinese New Year, whether as a gift or for a seasonal display. It also works well alongside other sets in the festival series. With eight minifigures on hand, it offers enough play figures to act out small scenes around the festival and performance, rather than serving purely as a static display piece.
