Blast off into comic book history with the LEGO Ideas Tintin Moon Rocket (21367), a detailed display model inspired by the classic Tintin adventures by Hergé: Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon.
Designed for adults aged 18+, the 1,283-piece set recreates the instantly recognisable red-and-white chequered Moon Rocket. Standing at 49cm tall, it is crafted as a display-ready piece that brings Tintin’s legendary journey from page to brick-built reality.
The set includes six classic Tintin characters – Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, Thomson and Thompson, their hair colour a feature of the original stories, all dressed in detailed space suits with helmets and oxygen tank accessories – plus a Snowy figure.
Builders can relive an iconic moment from Explorers on the Moon by removing a panel at the top of the rocket to reveal a hidden control room, allowing a minifigure to be placed inside for the breathtaking first view of Earth from space.
The Tintin Moon Rocket was submitted by Portugal-based Fan Designer Alexis Dos Santos (LEGO Ideas username: TKel86), via the LEGO Ideas programme in 2022. Once designed and published on the platform, it achieved the landmark 10,000 vote status and following the rigorous selection process by the LEGO Ideas Review Board, was approved to be made into an official LEGO set.
“Creating the Tintin Moon Rocket has been an incredible journey”, said Alexis Dos Santos. “I wanted to capture the spirit of Tintin’s iconic rocket in a way that celebrates both its engineering elegance and its place in pop culture.
“Recreating its curvature and connecting the three floors pushed my creativity, and seeing it finally come together with all the minifigures in their space suits has been incredibly rewarding. I hope the build sparks the same sense of imagination and adventure that inspired me from the very beginning.”
