Pixar is responsible for dozens of memorable characters, but its original creation remains one of its most iconic. Debuting in a short film from 1986, Luxo Jr. lives on as the lamp shown before every new Pixar film. And if you want to add the quirky character to your home, preorders are now open for the Lego Ideas: Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. Set. It officially releases on June 1, but we’re expecting preorders to be a hot commodity, as they are for most Disney items, so it’s wise to preorder while you can.
$70 | Releases June 1
This intricate lamp is a faithful recreation of Pixar’s Luxo Jr. and its colorful ball. The two models are fully posable, with the lamp offering several articulating joints and the option to “deflate” the ball by removing two of its side plates. Luxo Jr. can be displayed next to the ball or on top of the deflated ball, giving you multiple ways to show it off it your home theater.

The lamp isn’t functional (as in, it won’t light up your desk), but it does come with a vibrant yellow piece designed to look like a lightbulb. There’s also a bunch of Easter eggs hidden throughout the set, with references to movies like Up, The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc., and Toy Story. Luxo Jr. stands 11 inches tall when completed.
Lego has worked with Disney on several other sets beyond Luxo Jr. From an Up playset and Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes to a Simba figure and Moana’s adventure canoe, there are plenty of ways to bring Disney characters into your home. Looking for a companion for Luxo Jr? Here are some of our favorites:
