LEGO has opened preorders for the LEGO Ideas Floating Sea Otters, a display-first building set that captures a tender moment between a mother sea otter and her pup. The set is priced at $120 and is scheduled to ship on March 1.
As part of the LEGO Ideas lineup, the Floating Sea Otters set was originally created by a fan designer and voted into production by the LEGO community. It’s designed for adults who want a slower, more mindful building experience that doubles as home decor.
A Gentle, Nature-Inspired Display Piece
At the center of the set is a brick-built mother sea otter floating on her back, with her pup resting on her belly. The scene is meant to reflect the calm, affectionate behavior sea otters are known for in the wild, turning the finished model into a soothing visual centerpiece.
Once completed, the display measures just over 11.5 inches wide, making it easy to place on a shelf, desk, or side table without taking up too much space. With 1,234 pieces, the build strikes a balance between detail and approachability.
LEGO’s Poseable Details Add Personality
The Floating Sea Otters set isn’t a static model. Builders can pose the mother otter’s head, mouth, flippers, and claws to change her expression and posture.
Additionally, the pup is removable and can be repositioned, while a buildable clam accessory lets you switch up the display for a slightly different look. These adjustable elements help the model feel alive, giving builders the freedom to customize how the scene is presented over time.
Designed for Relaxed, Mindful Building
LEGO positions this set as a creative break from busy routines. It’s aimed at adult builders of all experience levels, whether you’re new to LEGO sets or already familiar with larger display builds. The LEGO Builder app adds to the experience, offering 3D instructions that let you zoom, rotate, and track progress as you build.
The LEGO Ideas Floating Sea Otters set is available now for preorder at $120, with shipping starting on March 1. With its gentle theme, poseable details, and display-ready design, it’s shaping up to be a thoughtful pick for animal lovers and anyone looking to add a bit of calm to their space.
