The Year of the Horse charges in with power, speed, and prosperity, and the world’s top toy makers are harnessing its spirit with breathtaking new collections. This Lunar New Year, it’s not just about tradition—it’s about transforming it into tangible art, engineering, and storytelling.
From the roaring engines of iconic car culture to the satisfying click of masterful bricks and the whimsical charm of designer art toys, 2026’s offerings are premium celebrations in their own right. We’ve rounded up three exceptional, limited-edition releases from Hot Wheels, LEGO, and Pop Mart that are more than just toys; they are stunning heirlooms of modern culture, built to gallop straight into your collector’s heart.
Hot Wheels x Porsche 935 Lunar New Year Edition
First, the roar of legend meets the whisper of tradition with the Hot Wheels and Porsche collaboration. This Lunar New Year, the iconic Porsche 935 is reborn as a 1:64-scale Silver Series talisman, a die-cast piece where performance heritage and celebratory symbolism perform in perfect harmony. Designed by Anton Henggono, the model is cloaked in a profound, auspicious red, its flanks adorned with sweeping gold calligraphy and a central emblem of a powerful white-and-gold horse in full gallop.
The experience extends from the metal itself to its packaging—a blister card that sets the scene with glowing lanterns, pagoda silhouettes, and bursts of fireworks. This Asia-Pacific exclusive is a true convergence, built from equal parts celebration, culture, and speed, now awaiting discovery at speciality retailers.
LEGO Spring Festival Galloping Horse Canvas
For those who prefer their artistry interactive, LEGO presents the Spring Festival Galloping Horse Canvas, a build that challenges the very definition of a display piece. This 1,650-piece set invites a meditative construction process, resulting in a textured, mosaic-style portrait of a majestic horse that evokes traditional brushwork and embroidery.
With a gentle turn of an integrated lever, the artwork stirs to life, the horse’s legs animating in a graceful, rolling gallop. It is a profound and elegant metaphor for progress and energy, transforming from a static masterpiece into a mesmerising sculpture that captures the dynamic spirit of the new year.
Pop Mart MOLLY Galloping Wealth 1/8 Action Figure
Last but not least is Pop Mart’s MOLLY Galloping Wealth 1/8 Action Figure. Here, the beloved, wide-eyed character ushers in the fortune of the new year dressed in an exquisitely detailed traditional Chinese outfit, rich with festive colour and intricate pattern.
The heart of the design rests in her hands: a plush, fluffy golden ingot, a direct and charming symbol of prosperity that she cradles with joyful pride. Meticulously crafted as a high-end collectable, this MOLLY figure masterfully bridges contemporary art toy aesthetics with timeless Lunar New Year motifs, making the promise of wealth feel playful, stylish, and irresistibly collectable.
