LEGO Icons How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless - The Night Fury Takes Flight in Brick Form
Hey there, builders and dragon trainers!
Get ready to unleash the Night Fury! LEGO Icons set 10375 brings one of DreamWorks' most beloved dragons to life in stunning brick-built detail. Toothless, the heart and soul of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, is here to steal your heart (and your shelf space) all over again.
This isn't your typical LEGO dragon build. At 1,398 pieces, Toothless stands as a premium Icons display model that captures every nuance of everyone's favorite Night Fury. The black bricks gleam with that signature dragon sheen, and the poseable wings, tail, and limbs mean you can recreate iconic moments from the films. Want him in flight mode? Done. Prefer that adorable toothless grin pose? Absolutely possible. The articulation here is chef's kiss.
Physical Features and Build Experience
The build itself is a journey through smart LEGO engineering. The wings use a clever combination of plates and hinges to achieve that distinctive bat-wing silhouette, complete with translucent green elements for Hiccup's prosthetic tail fin attachment. Speaking of which, yes, the tail is fully articulated. The head tilts, the jaw opens to reveal those retractable teeth (hence the name), and the eyes-oh, those eyes-are built with just the right amount of expression to nail Toothless's personality.
What really impressed me was the scale. Toothless measures over 6 inches high, 15 inches long, and 19 inches wide with wings extended. He's substantial without being overwhelming, which makes him perfect for display. The instructions are top-notch Icons quality, with clear steps and beautiful photography that actually makes you excited about each stage of the build.
The way LEGO captured Toothless's personality through brick-built expressions is pure magic-this isn't just a dragon model, it's a character you recognize instantly.
Collector Notes and Display Value
For How to Train Your Dragon fans, this is an absolute must-have. The set comes with a display plaque featuring Toothless's name and a Night Fury fact, plus a minifigure-scale Hiccup that's perfect for posing alongside (or on top of) your dragon. The price point of $69.99 delivers solid value at roughly 5 cents per piece, which is standard for Icons sets of this caliber.
From a display perspective, Toothless commands attention. The black color scheme means he pairs beautifully with other dragon-themed builds or stands out as a solo centerpiece. I picked mine up about two months ago during a LEGO Store visit, and it's been sitting pride-of-place on my display shelf ever since. I've got it marked in my Collectiblz app, and if you're tracking your own LEGO collection, I highly recommend using the app to catalog your Icons sets-it makes inventory management so much easier.
Display Ideas and Build Tips
- Position near a window for dramatic backlighting that highlights those translucent wing elements
- Pair with LEGO's other dragon builds for an epic display wall
- Use adjustable display risers to create dynamic flight poses
- Consider adding LED strip lighting underneath for a "flying at night" effect
- The stand is sturdy enough for desk display but museum putty adds extra security for high shelves
This build took me about 4-5 hours spread across two evenings, which felt just right. Not too quick that you rush through the best parts, but not so long that you lose momentum. The color palette is mostly black with strategic pops of green, red, and bright yellow for details, and there are some really satisfying connection techniques in the wing assembly that any AFOL will appreciate.
Whether you're a lifelong How to Train Your Dragon fan, a collector of LEGO Icons sets, or someone who just appreciates a beautifully engineered dragon build, set 10375 delivers on every level. Toothless has officially landed in the LEGO lineup, and he's brought all the charm, personality, and building fun you'd hope for.
