It fell apart
on October 8, 2026
Posted by: Mochacake
I was on the last bag when the front feet fell off, part of the tail fell off and part of the head fell off this was the fourth time it fell apart while building. By then it wasn’t fun anymore and I just tore it down and put it in loose pieces
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your Arcanine set together. The build should be stable, and pieces shouldn't fall off so easily. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service so we can help!
Purchased this build, because this Pokémon is one of my favorites. I received the Eevee as a birthday gift earlier in the years and loved the build and playability of that set. Arcanine, however, is extremely fragile. The most frequent points of disconnect revolve around the head. Somehow, Lego was able to engineer a firm ball-and-socket fit for the Eevee model's head, but the Arcanine model has a loose ball-and-socket connection, so the head flops around freely, relying on the mane part of the build to support the head. The mane build, which is several different sub-builds around the body, head, and neck, involves several low connection points on small pieces- between 1 and 3 studs per connection. moving the front legs will either break off the shoulder bricks or break off the mane bricks. additionally, the fur tufts on all four legs are points of fragility. Great build to make, but very, very fragile. It never leaves the shelf, unlike the Eevee which my toddler plays with often.
This Lego set has to be my all time favorite. This was designed beautifully and Arcanine looks amazingly cute displayed. You can move his limbs and he can even stand up. 10/10 ^_^
arcanine is my son and he will keep me safe. All decals are printed and the finished model is basically the same size as the lego eevee, but you get slightly more detail in every aspect in exchange for limb articulation, which is basically absent. I do not care if arcanine cannot bend he knees; he need kneel for no man.
This is a amazing display piece. I am so glad Lego created a build of my favorite Pokemon. It looks wonderful along side Eevee another one of my favorite Pokemon. I only wish the figure was a bit larger for the price.
