Back in 2023, LEGO introduced a large-scale brick-built LEGO Minifigure under set 40649 Up-Scaled LEGO Minifigure. From the 1st of March 2025, our up-scaled figure will be getting a brick-built friend of 40819 Up-Scaled Racing Driver Minifigure. Unlike 40649, 40819 will retail for a slightly more expensive price at $54.99 / 54.99 / £46.99 with a total of 694 pieces included.
The overall build of this racing-themed brick-built Minifigure is very similar to 2023s model with the obvious difference being a red racing driver helmet rather than a blue hat. The torso and legs are also different with the legs being green and red whilst the torso includes Octan printing and other racing overall details. Grey gloves are also included with the Up-Scaled Racing Driver Minifigure rather than the usual yellow hands.
Even though the 10+ model is advertised as a display piece, plenty of movement and playability is included in the 2025 set. The brick-built Minifigures head, hands, arms and legs can all be moved in multiple ways to make a dynamically posable LEGO Minifigure. LEGO also states that an Easter egg is hidden under the red helmet, suggesting that the helmet can be easily removed and that there are even more play functions than just those that meet the eye...
