This buildable version of one of Disney’s famous characters ticks many boxes for seasoned Stitch enthusiasts. However, completing your 'ohana with this set comes at a relatively high price. Is it worth the expense?

The Build

Think of LEGO Disney 43249 Stitch as a premium collectible. Despite the 9+ age recommendation, the set's playability is limited for its price. With 730 pieces, this is intended as a display piece, meticulously capturing the character's color and expression.

Unlike other LEGO sets, Stitch's head and ears are uniquely articulated, allowing for expressive poses. The set captures the lively essence of the character, from the printed eyes to the movable ears, making it a must-have for LEGO enthusiasts and Disney fans.

However, one drawback is the need for overall maneuverability. Stitch is fixed in a seated position, which limits posing possibilities.

Price

Priced similarly to recent LEGO Star Wars helmets, the LEGO Disney 43249 Stitch is a premium display piece. While appealing to Stitch fans, waiting for discounts to maximize value is advisable.

In summary, LEGO Disney 43249 Stitch is a well-designed display piece that captures the spirit of the mischievous blue alien, making it a must-have for fans.

Pros:

• Perfect expression
• Fun, movable ears
• Intriguing build

Cons:

• Body is fixed in one position
• Relatively expensive
