LEGO Toothless from ‘How to Train Your Dragon' is finally here — I've never pre-ordered something so fast
I could spend an entire day explaining why 'How to Train Your Dragon' is my favorite animated movie franchise: a coming-of-age story celebrating emotional growth; soaring scores that complements the Viking-inspired villages; and the progression of dragons from fearsome beasts to loyal allies.
But if I only were allowed one word to capture my love of 'How to Train Your Dragon?' That's easy: Toothless, a.k.a. the most expressive, endearing dragon to ever fly across the silver screen. And thanks to LEGO, I can now enjoy building my very own 784-piece Night Fury at home.
Available starting July 1, this 784-piece LEGO Icons set brings Toothless the Night Fury to life. Complete with true-to-movie details and even a little snack, this is a must-have for fans of the franchise.
This latest installment to LEGO's Ideas (the collection of fan-designed and -submitted sets) has been revealed just in time for the live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which hits theaters on June 13 as one of this summer's biggest movies.
Although the Toothless (10375) set doesn't launch officially until July 1, you can pre-order it now for $69.99 at LEGO.com.
Between the big eyes, printed scales and a mischievous expression, this version of Toothless is totally precious. Hiccup's pal stands at 16 cm (6.5 inches) tall, which makes him small enough to display easily, but movable joints elevate the final product.
He even comes with a fish (for snacking, obviously) and a little blue plasma-blast that fits in his mouth like he's ready to defend Berk at any moment.
LEGO also nailed the details with his signature red tail fin that Hiccup repaired after their first crash landing.

Speaking of Hiccup, I was a little disappointed that LEGO won't include a Hiccup minifigure, especially considering this version of Toothless is outfitted with a saddle. I found this custom one on Ebay, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a future 'How to Train Your Dragon' set provides more of the film's characters in minifigure form.
Either way, Toothless in LEGO form feels like a long-overdue tribute to one of animation's greatest companions. And if you're anything like me (someone who tears up at the end of 'The Hidden World' every time, no matter how many times I've seen it) this is a set you'll want on your shelf.

Dakota Johnson Narrowly Avoids a Nip Slip in Plunging Blazer During 'The Tonight Show' Appearance
Dakota Johnson narrowly prevented a wardrobe malfunctions during an appearance on The Tonight Show The actress wore a black dress with a plunging neckline that revealed her cleavage With an assist from host Jimmy Fallon, Johnson used a tissue to keep herself coveredDakota Johnson is finding new and clever ways to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. On Monday, June 2, the actress narrowly avoided a nip slip on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as she figured out a way to cover her exposed chest. The 35-year-old actress, who was promoting her upcoming film Materialists, made an entrance in a very cleavage-baring Ferragamo blazer that she admitted was the "wrong outfit" for the occasion. "My eyes are up here," she joked with host Jimmy Fallon. Later on in the interview, Johnson asked Fallon, 50, to tell her if there was a "problem" with her ensemble and jokingly asked anyone if they had a blanket she could use. Fallon swooped in with a tissue that Johnson slipped into the jacket's plunging neckline. "That what I do when I have a cold," she said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The tissue only lasted a few seconds before Johnson passed it back to Fallon who joked, "I"m putting this on eBay this evening." Eventually, Johnson found a better solution after Fallon handed her a cardigan that he actually got from her dad, Don Johnson. "That's what we've been waiting for," he said. ! Johnson found herself in a similar predicament last June after one of her dress straps "fell off" in the middle of her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Like a true pro, Johnson kept her dress in place for the rest of interview without exposing herself. What appeared to kick-off Johnson's streak of late night wardrobe malfunctions was when, during an appearance The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2022, she had a hard time sitting comfortably in another short dress. "It's nothing nobody hasn't already seen," she added, in reference to her nudity in the Fifty Shades franchise. Amid promotion for Materialists, out June 13 and starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, Johnson has been strutting her stuff in a variety of designer looks. For a causal stroll in N.Y.C. on Friday, May 30, she paired a cool off-duty outfit with Ophelia Eve and Sophie Billie jewelry totaling over $100,000 in diamonds. She also stepped out for two stylish girls' night outs with Taylor Swift (their dinner at West Village's Via Carota saw Johnson in a strapless black Ferragamo dress and a Roberto Coin necklace) and Jennifer Lawrence, which the Madame Web star attended in an earth-tone menswear-inspired look with a cherry red purse.

Cool Behind the Scenes Featurette for PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS and New Poster Art — GeekTyrant
Hulu has released a new featurette for director Dan Trachtenberg's animated Predator anthology series Predator: Killer of Killers , and it offers a cool and exciting behind-the-scenes look at the making of the badass-looking project. I also included three posters. Each one represent one of the episodes of the three-part anthology that puts the focus in Yautja warriors hunting human prey across world history. It's also confirmed in the video that all three of these stories will connect with each other. The director also explains that the animation style of the anthology was inspired by the concept art that he was seeing for the live action films, and he wanted to see that style brought to life. Here's the synopsis: 'The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. 'But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.' The voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn. Trachtenberg co-directed this project alongside Josh Wassung while on location for Predator: Badlands . He said: 'We were writing the script for [ Killer of Killers ] while we were prevising stuff on [ Badlands ], and then [once on location] in New Zealand, on the way to shoot [ Badlands ], we would remote with everyone back here and [watch footage] thanks to Starlink.' It's set to premiere as a Hulu exclusive on June 6th, 2025.
