LEGO has officially revealed LEGO Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (21370), a brand-new display model celebrating one of cinema's most beloved characters. Inspired by Steven Spielberg's timeless sci-fi classic, the 18+ set brings the gentle alien to life in brick-built form with impressive detail, articulated posing, and an illuminated heart.
Designed as a collectable display piece rather than a playset, the model captures E.T.'s instantly recognisable appearance, from his wrinkled skin to his expressive eyes. Fans of the classic film will also appreciate several iconic touches that pay tribute to memorable moments from the movie.
A Posable Display Model
Made up of 1,226 pieces, LEGO Ideas E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial stands over 24 cm (9.5 inches) tall and features multiple points of articulation. Builders can tilt E.T.'s head up and down, rotate it a full 360 degrees, and pose his arms to create a variety of display options.
One of the standout features is E.T.'s signature glowing heart. By pressing a hidden switch, the chest lights up to recreate one of the character's most memorable visual moments from the film.
The set also includes E.T.'s iconic pot of sunflowers, allowing builders to recreate the touching scene where he restores the wilted flowers to full bloom. His extended finger can be posed to represent his famous wish to "phone home."

Official Description
"Be good" and display your love for E.T. with this posable figure. Lovingly recreate (almost) every wrinkle of the adorable alien. Angle his head up or down, and rotate it 360 degrees. Point his forefinger to symbolise E.T.'s desire to "phone home." Place the pot of sunflowers in his hands, just like the ones E.T brought back to life in the classic movie. And press the switch to make his heart glow.
Final Thoughts
LEGO has continued to expand its range of nostalgic display sets, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial feels like a natural addition to the LEGO Ideas lineup. Rather than recreating a specific scene, the set focuses entirely on the film's iconic alien, delivering a highly detailed model with meaningful display features, including articulated movement and a light-up heart.
For fans of the 1982 classic, this looks set to be one of the standout movie-inspired LEGO releases of 2026.
