LEGO’s 276-piece Astro Bot model has a poseable head and arms, interchangeable round and half-moon eyes, a cape, blue propulsion jets and a display stand. The official product page lists the adult set as a gift with purchase and says the finished figure stands more than 20 centimeters high. Push Square reports that it will accompany early purchases of the $179.99 LEGO PlayStation set, which opens to LEGO Insiders on October 1 and to general buyers on October 4. LEGO has not confirmed a standalone release.

LEGO’s Astro Bot set 40899 turns PlayStation’s rescue robot into a 276-piece display model for adults. The finished figure includes a cape, blue propulsion jets and a stand, and measures more than 8 inches, or 20 centimeters, high with its arms extended.

The build’s head and arms can be repositioned. Two sets of eye pieces let owners switch Astro’s expression between round eyes and half-moon shapes, giving the compact model more range than a fixed shelf ornament.

Push Square reports that the set will be included with early purchases of the larger LEGO PlayStation model. LEGO’s product page labels Astro Bot a gift with purchase and currently lists it as unavailable, but the inspected listing does not spell out the qualifying offer or its duration.

The LEGO PlayStation announcement prices that 1,911-piece console replica at $179.99. LEGO Insiders get early access October 1, with general sales beginning October 4. Push Square says there is no confirmed plan to sell Astro Bot separately.
