Earlier today, Guerrilla and PlayStation did a behind the scenes look at the upcoming LEGO Horizon Adventures video game an it looks like LEGO may be teasing more Horizon sets in the future. At about the 4:10 mark, the video talks about making some of Machines in the game including the Shell-Walker, Sawtooth, and Thunderjaw and how they turned them into LEGO form. The most interesting part of the video is towards the end around the 9:00 mark where they show off a new Aloy minifigure which has updated printing from the one in the Tallneck (76989) set as well perhaps concept builds of the Sawtooth and Shell-Walker. Maybe they are finished builds and it’ll be interesting to see if LEGO actually releases them.
