Matthew Alton and his Lego Kraken
It’s Time LEGO Creators, Release the Kraken!
Behold, the Kraken! The largest sea creature to exist, it has now taken the form of 2994 LEGO bricks! After a year of building by Matthew Alton and Robin Berk, the Kraken has finally been unleashed to LEGO Ideas to hopefully become a real LEGO product!

The Kraken has plenty of fun action features, but the best part about the beast is that the features are mostly invisible. You can display the model without having to look at big “Press Me!” buttons dotted around. The action features are as follows:
Removable tentacles with stands so they can be posed as if they’re coming out of the sea
An inner ring of teeth that can be spun remotely
Glow in the dark eyes for a creepy bonus
Removable section on the top that shows detailing of a stomach underneath (the belly of the beast) complete with skeleton and an old captain’s hat
Removable section on the bottom that contains small red pieces to simulate small injuries that the Kraken has had
A tail that can be moved up and down to simulate swimming
Two small boats to act as prey for the behemoth
