Lego invites us to Grow our Creativity With Four New LEGO Botanicals Sets, coming 2025

This image is a vibrant and dynamic promotional visual for LEGO Horizon Adventures, combining elements of lush nature and robotic creatures in an intense, action-packed scene inspired by the Horizon Zero Dawn video game series. In the foreground, two minifigures representing iconic characters from the game stand poised for battle, holding detailed LEGO-crafted weapons. One character with long red hair, presumably Aloy, wields a bow and appears confident and ready for action. Beside her stands another figure, also armed, exuding a sense of adventure. Surrounding them is a dense jungle environment constructed from LEGO bricks, featuring trees with detailed foliage and various plants, giving the impression of an untamed, wild landscape. The lighting suggests a late-afternoon or sunset glow, adding warmth to the scene, contrasted by cooler tones in the shadows and the background. In the background, towering robotic creatures assembled from LEGO parts loom ominously. One of these is a massive, dinosaur-like machine with glowing red eyes and sharp, articulated jaws, adding a sense of danger. Another mechanical creature, spider-like and multi-legged, adds further tension as it appears to be advancing through the vegetation. The LEGO and Horizon branding is prominently displayed in the upper right, establishing the fusion of LEGO creativity with the intense world of Horizon, inviting fans of both LEGO and the game to explore this detailed and imaginative crossover.

On the left side of the box, you see the main focus of the set: a detailed recreation of the Shrieking Shack. It is a tall, old, wooden house with snow-dusted roofs and boarded-up windows. The house looks worn and mysterious, adding to the set’s eerie vibe. Next to the shack on the right is the Whomping Willow, depicted as a large, twisting, brown tree with long, curling branches. One of the branches holds a mini-figure, which appears to be Hermione Granger, mid-air, as if the tree has just thrown her.
