LEGO Ideas La Catrina - Building Set for Adults, Ages 18+ - Day of the Dead Decorations for Table or Shelf - Gift for Men & Women - 21372

This set is absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed each and every piece of it. I love Catrinas so much as they are part of my favorite hometown tradition. The 'monarcas' look so cute and I love that you can choose any position for the arms and the head. I would strongly suggest to create the 'Catrín' as well (male companion) as it would be the most beautiful couple. Totally recommended! I put it next to my favorite Catrina at home!

Looks amazing and love the history behind the set very happy with it

This set is gorgeous. Everything from the history and culture of the set to the vibrant pops of color make this a truly standout set. I enjoy how expressive the final build turned out to be, La Catrina has so much personality!

Man this piece was so pretty to build but a little difficult lol this is my second build ever and it definitely was a experience I plan on doing more and more difficult builds in the future but right now I need a break . Definitely recommend if you are more skilled or like a challenge like me hehe. Love the praying pose , croissants in the dress , and earrings the most 🫶🏾

I really like this build. It is really tall for a Lego set and is one you can leave out all the time!

Adored this build! I love the use of fun pieces for surprising things. The croissant details brought me great joy. This is a lovely display piece, I can't wait to keep it out with my Halloween and Dia de los Muertos decor.

I'm not even done building this yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying it from start to now (I'm on Bag 8). The colors are beautiful. I love admiring it after the completion of each bag. It's….this is my most favorite build.

The finished La Catrina is absolutely stunning and I genuinely love her. She is a fantastic display piece and completing her gave me a real sense of achievement. Unfortunately, the journey to get there was far less enjoyable. The main problem for me was the construction of the three skirt tiers. Pieces that appeared to be securely attached would repeatedly come away while I was working on another section. At one point a substantial part of the skirt came apart and had to be rebuilt. There is very little room to support the structure while applying the pressure needed to attach subsequent pieces, so fixing one area can easily disturb another. I also think the torso should be built separately from the skirt and attached only once it is complete. I eventually did this myself rather than continuing to build directly onto the skirt as instructed, and found it much more manageable. It also avoided putting unnecessary pressure on an already quite fragile structure. The rest of the build was a very different experience. I enjoyed the base, torso, head and hat, and there are some wonderful details and clever uses of pieces throughout. I am delighted that I persevered because the finished model is beautiful and I'm incredibly proud of her. I absolutely love having her on display. I just wish the construction of the skirt and the decision to build the upper body directly onto it hadn't made getting there quite so frustrating. There were moments when I would have happily broken her into all her little pieces but through patience I never knew I had La Catrina is now beautifully complete.

This is a great concept and very attractive. However, the 3 levels of the skirt attachments did not work well. The pieces would fall off with a light touch. I remade the skirt tiers several times and never managed to have all the pieces stay in place. The other parts were great and I enjoyed the base, torso, head and hat very much, but finally put La Catrina back in the box with a good number of skirt pieces not attached. It was extremely frustrating!

This one may look really cool (and it does) but the build is hardly enjoyable. The way the skirt was designed was poor. There was no wiggle room and when trying to hook things on, things keep falling apart. The techniques for attaching items were poor choices and made what could have been an awesome set absolutely awful. Don't waste your time or money.
