In a year filled with challenges, the LEGO Group’s Build to Give initiative inspired individuals worldwide to build hearts and share them on social media or LEGO Life using the hashtag #BuildtoGive during the month of December. For every heart shared, the LEGO Group would donate a LEGO set to a child in need of play.

The legs are also the same as before with the dual molding but my copy wasn’t fully printed so the blue is bleeding through the yellow. His double-sided head shows him with a smirk on one side...
