Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building this set requires a clean, flat surface and enough time to sort the 1,083 pieces. We recommend using the LEGO Builder app on a tablet for the best 3D visualization of the assembly process, which helps in identifying the orientation of complex joint pieces. When cleaning the finished model, use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from the intricate crevices between the scales. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the plastic finish or loosen the clutch power of the bricks. If moving the figure, support the base of the body rather than the head to prevent strain on the joints.
