LEGO Shrek, Donkey & Puss in Boots 72423

Character Shaping Mastery

What a gang! The sheer scale of Shrek and Donkey here is impressive, but it's the subtle SNOT work in Shrek’s tummy and Donkey's muzzle that really catches the eye. Notice how Puss in Boots, a standard minifigure, offers a great contrast in scale, grounding the larger brick-built figures. The base uses various green plates and tiles to mimic a swampy landscape, setting the perfect scene.
