How can Lego sets be made movable?
Lego says the Golden Retriever puppy’s head, ears and tail can be posed to create canine expressions. The paws can be lifted and the mouth opens, allowing the creator to add a pink tongue made of LEGO “for a wide range of adorable expressions.”
The Lego set also features a row of small teeth.
