“Also similar to last year's/this year's 40611 Year of the Dragon, the 174-piece set is a brick-built version of a colourful Chinese culture Snake for the Year of the Snake. LEGO have continued with this tradition for many years now and it has been extremely popular. The... More Snake, which we're guessing will most likely be a dark green color, will include the usual printed 2x2 round tiles for the eyes along with a small environment build to be displayed on.”

Jays Brick Blog
“Technique-wise, the Year of the Snake is the most finessed out of all the animals, with some really neat techniques used in the build, such as how the eyes are angled, and how the body and neck are constructed. There are ears on the side of its head, represented by Jumper... More Plates, but this is technically anatomically incorrect as Snakes don’t have external ears, but do have an internal ear structure which allows them to perceive sound!”
