LEGO Ideas is honoring Dia de los Muertos with a fan-submitted tribute set. Confirmed via LEGO's official announcement and reported by Brick Fanatics and Jay's Brick Blog, 21372 La Catrina launches August 1, 2026 at $139.99, based on a winning design by fan creator yop1172, aka Jose Miguel Medina Perez.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing and dimensions, so here's what's included.
LEGO's official announcement, as reported by Brick Fanatics, confirms the following:
LEGO Ideas sets typically originate from crowd-sourced fan submissions, but the deliberate step of involving Mexican LEGO team members in the design process signals this set received closer cultural review than a standard Ideas release, given how central La Catrina imagery is to Dia de los Muertos traditions.
At nearly 17 inches tall once built, La Catrina is a genuinely large centerpiece display figure rather than a shelf-filler set, closer in footprint to LEGO's premium display models than to a typical minifigure-scale build.
With pre-orders already open and a substantial finished size to plan around, it's worth measuring shelf space now.
For protecting the finished build from dust once assembled, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case is available up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches, though it's worth confirming exact fit against La Catrina's 43 cm height before ordering.
For giving the finished figure a raised, centerpiece presentation, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand adds a pedestal-style base.
August 1, 2026.
$139.99 USD.
1,212 pieces.
Approximately 43 cm (16.9 inches).
LEGO Ideas La Catrina pairs a substantial 1,212-piece build with genuine cultural care in its design process, making it a standout centerpiece set for August 2026. With pre-orders already open, it's worth planning display space for its nearly 17-inch finished height.
Having a case and stand ready means La Catrina will be protected and properly showcased the moment the build is complete.
