Tallneck LEGO Set Revealed From Horizon Forbidden West

The LEGO Group and PlayStation are joining forces to delight fans of both brands with the very first LEGO set inspired by the world of Horizon Forbidden West – the LEGO Tallneck (see images below).

Working with acclaimed developer Guerrilla, the collaboration recreates the authentic features within the Horizon Forbidden West video game and transforms the experience into LEGO brick form for fans around the world.

Designed as a build and display model, this 1,222-piece set is sure to invite builders into the 31st century and encourage imaginations to flow freely through the process of building out the Horizon universe.

This LEGO set for adults will take builders into an adventure world through Aloy, a fierce machine hunter, and the Tallneck, the iconic and awe-inspiring machine Aloy uses to explore nearby areas in her mission to restore order and balance in Horizon Forbidden West.

Included in this set is a brand-new headpiece for Aloy, the Watcher machine that comes with a choice of blue, yellow, or red eyes and her bow and brick-built spear, alongside the authentic Tallneck machine, with a smooth, disc-shaped head and long, slim legs to add striking features within the model.

Fans can finish their build by adding beautiful landscape details like the brick-built birch tree, tall grass, and a rusty stoplight, completing the centerpiece for its display moment.

“Getting to team up with Guerrilla was truly remarkable,” says Isaac Snyder, Designer at the LEGO Group. “The Guerrilla team is incredibly passionate about the world of Horizon Forbidden West and were a huge help in ensuring we were able to create an authentic representation in LEGO form.

“Thanks to our close collaboration we were able to include references to all the most iconic aspects of Horizon Forbidden West, from incredible machines, mysterious ruins, unique tribes, and stunning scenery.

“There is a huge amount of mutual respect between the design teams, and everyone involved was beyond excited to see this model come to life! Our hope is that everyone building this model has as much fun as we did designing it.”

The buildable Horizon Tallneck model measures over 34 cm (13.5 in.) high, 23 cm (9 in.) wide, and 17 cm (6.5 in.) deep and will be available from May 2022 on LEGO.com, LEGO brand Retail Stores, and major retailers globally for 79.99 EUR/ 79.99 USD.

Horizon Forbidden West will be available for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 18, 2022 (check price at Amazon).

In the anticipated sequel game, machine hunter Aloy has traveled west to investigate a mysterious and deadly blight. In these uncharted lands, she will meet strange new tribes and encounter ever more deadly machines.

Together with old friends and new companions, she must brave this dangerous frontier to find the answers she needs to save life on Earth.

This dangerous and unfamiliar land is full of challenges and threats, but Aloy will have new tools to help her on her way. The Pullcaster speeds up climbing, getting her quickly out of trouble; the Shieldwing allows her to safely descend from great heights (or surprise enemies from above); and with the Diving Mask, a whole new underwater world is open for exploration.

Not to mention big upgrades to her Focus, which now shows areas that allow free-climbing and gives her the ability to override more machines for mounts or combat.

Horizon Forbidden West puts the emphasis on tactics and choice by giving the player a huge variety of weapons. Aloy’s trusty Spear is good for close combat and enables a new set of combos.

Bows with specialized ammo types strip armor off machines to expose their weak spots. Adhesive grenades can be fired from slingshots, temporarily stalling foes. Plus, many more, and all of them can be upgraded at a workbench.

Aloy won’t just be dealing with human enemies. The game also features a big new selection of deadly machines: Sunwings in the sky, Clawstriders and Tremortusks on land, Snapmaws, and the smaller (yet not to be underestimated) Burrowers in the water.

Horizon Zero Dawn was released on February 28, 2017, to widespread critical acclaim, winning numerous industry awards. The game has sold over 10 million copies, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games.

An expansion, The Frozen Wilds, was released in November 2017.
