Designer's notes[]
"First set that I designed! During the sketch phase I was exploring fire dragons for Kai, but when the Uni-Kitty moustache on one of the models looked particularly wise, Simon (my creative lead) asked me to see what a dragon for Master Wu would be like instead!"[2]
Trivia[]
- Hackler has a shield in this set, but not in the TV show. This is the reverse of how the Stone Warriors had had shields in the TV show but not in the 2013 sets.
- Although there was no sign of one in the show, this set comes with a husky.
- Originally, a goat was supposed to be included in the set instead of a dog, but later the designers decided to change the animal into a husky with a crossbow, because it is a bit cooler.[3]
- Hackler and Pitch are exclusive to this set, though their appearances are identical to Spyder and Wail respectively.
- The Master Wu Dragon is Wu's first dragon, making this the first set to include a dragon for Master Wu.
- 71234 Sensei Wu Fun Pack was the second, and 71718 Wu's Battle Dragon was the third, though the former was only a mini version of the dragon in this set, made for the video game LEGO Dimensions, and the latter was a dragon belonging to someone else in the TV series.
- There are some pieces on the dragon's body that were originally designed for other purposes.
- The dragon's mustache is formed from two of recolored Unikitty's tail piece from The LEGO Movie.
- Two white two barrel guns and white croissants are also used on the dragon's head.
- There are two yellow cups on its chest.
- On its wings are two golden conical hats.
- At the end of its tail is a golden chainsaw.
- According to the set designer, Nick Vás, he was originally tasked with designing a dragon for Kai, but when the Unikitty's mustache on one of the models looked particularly wise, Simon Lucas asked him to see what a dragon for Master Wu would be like instead.[4]
