Few Pokémon command attention quite like Arcanine. Regal, ferociously loyal, burning with an inner fire that has captivated Trainers since its introduction in the Kanto region. This iconic Pokémon has earned its place among the most beloved partners of all time.
Whether you’re an Arcanine fan or always wanted to be its Trainer, the LEGO® Pokémon™ Arcanine (72160) set for adults is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
According to its official Pokédex entry, Arcanine is “capable of running 6,200 miles in 24 hours at a speed and grace reminiscent of flight.” Long admired for its beauty and speed, anyone who hears its bark will grovel before it. After all, who can resist the beauty and power of this majestic Pokémon?
What truly sets Arcanine apart isn't just its raw power, but its character: proud, regal, with a heart full of loyalty and justice. This enables it to conquer the hearts of humans and other Pokémon with a single thunderous roar. Don’t be fooled by its looks, because beneath its imposing exterior, there’s a warm and protective partner.
The LEGO® Pokémon™ Arcanine set faithfully honours that grandeur. Every detail of Arcanine’s flame-streaked fur and powerful silhouette is recreated in brick form, with 1,190 pieces and standing over 6.5 in. (17 cm) tall. A display piece worthy of the legend itself.
Dan Squirrell, the Senior Designer behind this set, explains how he approached this design: “As a Pokémon, these shapes are organic, whereas LEGO bricks are squared off. So when approaching this design, it was more about finding the general shaping than getting the perfect angles. I start this by sketching on paper what Arcanine looks like, but only basic shapes, rounding off sharp edges and trying to understand the composition. Once you have the macro shapes figured out, then you can start going into the details.”
On the battlefield, Arcanine is no mere showpiece. Fierce, fast and impossible to ignore, it’s a Pokémon that commands respect the moment it enters the battle. Powered by an inner fire and driven by loyalty, Arcanine approaches every battle the way it approaches everything: with unstoppable force and unmistakable grace.
That dynamic energy is captured in this LEGO set through its fully posable design. You can move Arcanine's tail, legs, feet, head, and mouth into any position you like: frozen mid-sprint or standing in a proud, commanding pose. A set that looks different from every angle, just like Arcanine itself.
“I really like the face. It is arguably the most important part to get right. If it is wrong, people will notice instantly, but getting it correct at such a small scale is a real engineering challenge,” he says.
Inspiring devotion as much as it commands respect, Arcanine has long been admired by its beauty, speed and the sense of majesty it projects. Whether you remember it from your first playthrough of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue or from countless competitive battles, Arcanine holds a special place in Pokémon history.
This authentically detailed LEGO set pays Arcanine the tribute it deserves. Place it on a desk, shelf or anywhere you want a daily reminder of what made you fall in love with Pokémon in the first place.
As Dan puts it: “Arcanine is the favourite Pokémon of both my brother Lee and my brother-in-law Gab. I hope that they and the rest of Arcanine’s loyal fans will love the design and have a great experience when they get to build it.”
What a stunning celebration of your Pokémon Trainer journey!
