Our verdict

Tuxedo Cat is a 1,710-piece LEGO Ideas model for adults: a black-and-white cat sitting with its tail wrapped around its side, over 12.5 in. (32 cm) tall. You pick yellow or blue eyes and an open or closed mouth. LEGO says you can rotate the head and adjust the ears, paws and tail. It began as a fan design on LEGO Ideas, and the booklet includes interviews with the fan designer and LEGO's designer.

Brickset's review, written on a copy from LEGO, says the body shape and face look realistic and puts the model at about three-quarters the size of an adult cat. Its criticisms: no whiskers, and smooth black surfaces that show fingerprints. The reviewer also found less movement than LEGO describes, limited to turning the neck and nudging the ears. Brickset has no member written reviews of this set.

It suits an adult cat lover who wants a large shelf model at a low price per piece. Skip it if you want a posable figure, or if fingerprints on glossy black parts would bother you.

Brickset's reviewer, a cat owner, says the sitting pose, arched back and face look lifelike, and that from a distance it can pass for a real cat. They miss whiskers and note the smooth coat picks up fingerprints. LEGO supplied the set.
