"Young Simba earns a BrickScore of 64.9 — a solid display set that delights Lion King fans with its charming, well-crafted sculpt and rewarding build, though its limited playability and occasional structural quirks keep it just short of top-tier status."
Reviewers are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about Young Simba, praising its charming design, satisfying build experience, and strong value for the price. The model is widely described as cute, sizable, and impressively faithful to the character, with an organic sculpt that clearly took real design effort. Most found the build enjoyably challenging — complex enough to engage, but not frustrating — and the finished model is consistently described as durable and display-worthy. A lone dissenting note flags occasional head-detachment issues and cautions against young children handling it.
Where they split: The vast majority of reviewers rate the build as sturdy and solid, while one outlier reported the head falling off multiple times and described the model as 'not durable.' This is the only notable split in an otherwise highly agreeable pool of reviews.
"We can legitimately afford to be more demanding with the model of 1445 pieces sold for €130 at LEGO, we are in fact switching to a range intended for a more adult audience"
