The 1,369-piece ornithopter features fold-out, flappable wings and deployable landing gear, allowing it to be displayed in either flight or landing configurations. The model captures the distinctive insectoid design of the aircraft from the 2021 film, with articulated wing mechanisms that recreate the characteristic flapping motion.

Eight minifigures are included representing key characters from the movie: Paul Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho and Baron Harkonnen in his distinctive long robe. These figures enable builders to recreate scenes from the film or create new scenarios around the ornithopter.

Build and Display Features

The finished model measures 79 cm wide with wings extended, 57 cm long and 23 cm high, making it a substantial display piece. The wing articulation system allows for dynamic positioning, whilst the retractable landing gear adds functional detail to the design.

This set forms part of the LEGO Icons range, designed specifically for adult builders seeking detailed, film-accurate models. The ornithopter serves both as an engaging construction project and a striking display piece for fans of the Dune universe.
