The King of the Monsters is now made of Lego bricks.

On Nov. 3, the popular toy company unveiled its Lego Ideas Godzilla set. The 5,363-piece set stands 27.5 inches tall when posed with a Heat Ray shooting from its mouth.

The Lego Godzilla features textured scaly skin, jagged dorsal fins and a sweeping tail, according to a Lego news release. The character’s shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers are also adjustable, and the Heat Ray element, which recreates the monster’s dramatic blast, can be replaced by its tongue.

Matthew Esposito of New York submitted the Godzilla set to the Lego Ideas crowdsourcing platform. Once published, the build received 10,000 votes from other designers and Lego fans before undergoing a “rigorous selection process” by the Lego Ideas Review Board, according to a news release.

“I’ve loved both LEGO building and Godzilla for years, so I wanted to capture his shape, scale and character as accurately as I could. The head was definitely the biggest challenge, but seeing the model come together and eventually reach 10,000 supporters after more than two years was incredible,” Esposito said in a statement. “I’m so grateful to everyone who supported the project and helped make this dream a reality.”

The new set comes out the same month as “Godzilla Minus Zero”. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film releases on Nov. 6 and is set two years after the 2023 film “Godzilla Minus One” in post-war Japan.
