Review : LEGO ICONS 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless

Today we very quickly go around the contents of the LEGO ICONS set 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless, a box of 784 pieces currently available for pre-order on the official online store at a retail price of €69,99 and which will be available from July 1, 2025.

As you probably already know, this spin-off product is planned to take advantage of the theatrical release of the live-action film. Dragons (How to Train Your Dragon) and we are therefore offered here to assemble a model stamped 18+ of the dragon Krokmou (Toothless in English).

One might also wonder if this set deserved to be identified as intended for an adult audience; neither the substance nor the form really seem to me to justify this choice. I don't know to what extent this indication on the packaging of the sets influences customers in the aisles of toy stores, but it would be a shame if a young fan who discovers the franchise launched in 2010 by going to the cinema this year was deprived of this version of their new favorite dragon.

Technically speaking, the construction is certainly not intended for an adult audience; there is nothing here that a child could not grasp in terms of assembly. There are some relatively sophisticated solutions to make this version chibi of the dragon takes shape, but there is nothing to scare the youngest who will easily get out of it on their own.

This Toothless with a very cartoon is, however, a pure exhibition model with which you can't do much. The animal's body is static, the head can vaguely rotate and the jaw can be opened to insert one of the supplied accessories.

The ears on gray ball joints are movable, as are the tail and tongue of the animal, but there is nothing here to invoke real playability. The two wings can be slightly oriented and inclined, it's basic, but it allows the dragon to be displayed in a more or less dynamic pose.

As is often the case, the interior of the construction is made up of pieces of different colors that allow you to find your way around the pages of the instruction booklet. Special mention for the creature's eyes, which I find very successful with beautiful techniques at the service of the final result. I'm less of a fan of the two molded plastic wings; LEGO could have made the effort to offer us something more complex to assemble rather than these tasteless meta-pieces.

We will remember the risk of obtaining slightly damaged or scratched black pieces upon unpacking, this is a classic defect of LEGO elements of this color and you should not hesitate to call on the customer service from the manufacturer if the damage observed exceeds your tolerance threshold. No stickers in this box, so all patterned parts are pad printed.

Upon arrival, the 784-piece construction spread across 7 bags doesn't even measure 17 cm high, which is meager for a set sold for €70 without minifigs. I think this box is trying to play on all fronts to seduce both new fans and those who knew the animated film released in 2010, but that it actually wants to do a little too much.

The 18+ label is superfluous and a little pretentious for such a simplified model without major technical challenges, but it risks discouraging parents who take the information a little too seriously.

That being said, it's cute, and the model will easily find its place on the shelves of a child's room next to, for example, Stitch (43249 Stitch) and Angel (43257 Angel). This product is presented as an exclusive to the official store, so you will have to wait several months before you can pay less for it elsewhere than at LEGO.
