LEGO and Horizon: A perfect combination
The collaboration between LEGO and the Horizon gaming franchise has been a hit with fans. The original Horizon Tallneck set, released by LEGO a few years ago, quickly became a fan favorite, drawing praise from Horizon enthusiasts and LEGO collectors alike. While the official set captured the essence of the iconic machine, some fans yearned for something even more monumental—something that would truly live up to the towering grandeur of the in-game Tallneck.
A massive Tallneck for ambitious builders
Enter Nicola Stocchi, also known in the LEGO community as Serial Builder. Stocchi has designed an incredible fan-made version of the Horizon Tallneck, and it’s nothing short of breathtaking. Standing nearly one meter tall when completed, this fan model takes the concept of the Tallneck to an entirely new level. To put things into perspective, this custom creation is comparable in size and complexity to LEGO’s Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon, one of the largest and most detailed sets ever produced by LEGO.
Building the ultimate Tallneck
For those ready to take on the challenge, Stocchi sells building instructions for his epic Tallneck on MocBay. While the instructions provide a detailed roadmap, builders will need to source the bricks themselves. With an estimated piece count rivaling that of high-end LEGO UCS sets, assembling the required parts will require patience, effort, and a fair investment.
But the payoff is well worth it. This custom Tallneck boasts incredible detail, making it far more intricate and lifelike than the official set. Its sheer height and imposing design ensure it will stand out as a centerpiece in any collection.
Final thoughts
While the official LEGO Tallneck set remains an excellent choice for casual builders and collectors, this custom model is perfect for anyone looking to push the boundaries of their LEGO-building skills. It's a reminder of how passionate fans can take a beloved design and elevate it into something extraordinary.
