LEGO’s cultural exploration continues as it introduces the 40643 Jade Rabbit set, steeped in Chinese tradition and set to release on 1st June 2023.
Created as part of the LEGO Creator collection, this charming set embodies the essence of the Mid Autumn Festival, with the Jade Rabbit, one of the festival’s most treasured symbols, ingeniously brought to life with all-white LEGO bricks and serene closed eyes.
The endearing rabbit perches atop a picturesque landscape, capturing elements of a lush tree, tranquil river, and vibrant vegetation. A quintessential Chinese lantern and a small barrel further add to the culturally rich and visually appealing setting. The entire scene is cleverly constructed on a mooncake, another integral symbol of the festival.
Recreated in LEGO, the mooncake displays the classic white exterior and reveals the traditional egg yolk filling, accompanied by two additional miniature rabbits. Packing an impressive amount of cultural references and exciting details into its 288 pieces, this affordable set, priced at £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, offers a glimpse into the heart of Chinese festivities.
