LEGO set 40649, Up-Scaled LEGO Minifigure, presents an enlarged version of a classic minifigure with a red torso, blue legs and a blue cap. Listed under the Other theme, this 2023 model contains 654 pieces and includes 1 minifigure.

Up-Scaled LEGO Minifigure focuses on one of the most familiar elements of the LEGO system: the minifigure. Instead, it sits in the Other theme, where the subject is the LEGO form itself.

The build recreates a simple, recognisable minifigure at a larger scale. Its 654 pieces are used to form the main character and its clear colour scheme.

This set is well suited to display, to collections built around LEGO icons, or to open ended play with a larger character. Within the Other theme, it is easy to place because it does not depict a vehicle, building or licensed scene. Its subject is the minifigure as an object of LEGO design.
