卡特里娜的骨架设计严格遵循人体比例，其可活动的下颌增加了互动性，能重现动态表情。脊柱和肩胛骨的设计融合了艺术诠释与解剖学精度，颈部通过柔性管道实现灵活调整，头部可多角度旋转。手臂和手部关节均具有自然运动的灵活性，并配有额外支撑以确保稳定性，增强了模型的视觉吸引力和可玩性。

Introducing the LEGO Catrina Sculpture

Prepare to immerse yourself in the vibrant Mexican culture with an exquisite LEGO rendition of the renowned Catrina. This meticulously crafted masterpiece captures the timeless allure of this iconic symbol, appealing not only to those who hold a deep appreciation for culture and art, but also to a broader audience that recognizes the universal significance of this remarkable creation.

Every aspect of this Catrina sculpture has been meticulously constructed using LEGO bricks (2,894 aprox in total), resulting in a stunning level of detail that is sure to captivate admirers. No stickers were employed in this design; all decorative elements are ingeniously fashioned from individual bricks. The head is embellished with tasteful earrings and an elegant sombrero ornamented with delicate feathers and blossoms. These carefully chosen embellishments pay homage to the traditional Catrina while honoring the authenticity of handcrafted Mexican sculptures.

Authenticity in Sculptural Form

Drawing inspiration from the revered clay sculptures produced by esteemed Mexican artisans, this LEGO Catrina seamlessly channels the spirit of an authentic sculpture rather than a mere costume. Mirroring the artistry of clay artisans, the model embraces the essence of minimalistic coloration, allowing the 3D texture of the bricks to shine through. This approach resonates with the tradition of conveying intricate details through the very medium of sculpting, embodying the spirit of Mexican craftsmanship. The delicate dress, trimmed with lace and a refined corset, exudes an air of sophistication that befits the Catrina's symbolic status. While maintaining an elegant and graceful profile, the dress is thoughtfully designed to capture the spirit of the Catrina while offering a nod to its original forms. This blend of tradition and refinement creates a captivating visual experience that transcends borders.

It's worth noting that there are two distinct styles of dresses - one in vibrant pink and another in a striking orange hue. Yet, the possibilities are endless. Imagine experimenting with a myriad of colors to bring your own unique vision to life.

Designed with meticulous anatomical accuracy, the Catrina's skeleton remains true to human proportions. Its moveable jaw adds an interactive element, allowing you to recreate dynamic expressions and bring the model to life.

The intricately designed skeletal structure, including the spine and scapula, showcases the fusion of artistic interpretation and anatomical precision. Using a flexible tube as a pathway for the spine allows for adjusting the model's neck, enabling the head to be positioned in various orientations.

In addition, the arms and hands of the Catrina sculpture are equipped with articulation that mimics natural movements, offering the flexibility to pose them in a multitude of positions. Furthermore, these articulated features are bolstered by additional supports, ensuring the stability to effortlessly bear the weight of the shoulder joints. This careful engineering enhances both the visual appeal and playability of the model, allowing for an engaging and dynamic experience when interacting with the Catrina sculpture.
