A familiar face at a different size

The Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure, set 40875, takes the visual language of a little LEGO person and gives it a seasonal presence on a table. LEGO included the figure in its September 15, 2026 holiday announcement, describing a red dress, a smile and movable head, arms and hands.

Our first impression from the official photography is that the charm comes from recognition. The familiar yellow face and hand shapes still read as LEGO, while the white hair and festive outfit make the character clear without requiring a surrounding village or a large scene.

The published specifications

As checked October 10, 2026, LEGO’s US listing shows a price of $59.99 and availability now. It lists 904 pieces, an age recommendation of 10 and up, and dimensions of approximately 25 centimeters high, 17 wide and 11 deep. The page also confirms Build Together support in the LEGO Builder app.

Those are useful facts for planning a shared project, but they do not establish how long assembly will take in a particular household. This preview is based on the official description and images. We have not assembled the model or tested how its joints hold their positions.

A character that can acknowledge the room

The documented articulation is an appealing detail for a decoration. Our suggestion would be to think about where the figure is looking and what its arms seem to be doing. A small change of pose can make a character feel as though it is greeting somebody arriving at the table.

Treat that as a creative possibility rather than a promise about every pose. For example, an imagined wave might suit an entryway arrangement, while a more relaxed position could work among other holiday objects. Start with the supported movement described by LEGO and follow the finished model’s instructions.

Make the building session part of the occasion

For a shared session, agree on a comfortable pace before opening the first bags. One person might enjoy finding pieces while another follows a step, then the roles can switch. If using the app’s shared mode, leave time to understand its guidance rather than treating the session as a race.

These are our planning suggestions. The most inviting aspect of the concept is that the seasonal object also gives people something to do together before it becomes decoration. Whether it is built in one sitting or returned to across several evenings, the process can have a place in the holiday routine.
