LEGO Petulant President (parody of Up‑Scaled LEGO Minifigure 40649)

Summary

The photographed box uses the official LEGO wordmark and the visual layout of the Up‑Scaled LEGO Minifigure product (set number 40649), but the front artwork and set title have been replaced with a satirical/parody design labelled “Petulant President” and a promotional sticker reading “FREE Real plastic MEDAL.” The official LEGO product with item number 40649 is the Up‑Scaled LEGO® Minifigure (654 pieces), sold by The LEGO Group.

Authenticity and origin

This specific “Petulant President” packaging is not a known official LEGO retail release. The box appears to be a custom or digitally altered/parody design that reuses the LEGO box style rather than an authorized LEGO product listing. No official LEGO product name matching “Petulant President” was found in product listings for set 40649; the genuine 40649 set is titled Up‑Scaled LEGO Minifigure. (lego.com)

Manufacturing and production (official LEGO context)

Genuine LEGO bricks and official LEGO sets are manufactured across multiple LEGO Group production sites worldwide (for example: Billund, Denmark; Kladno, Czech Republic; Nyíregyhaza, Hungary; Monterrey, Mexico; Jiaxing, China; Ho Chi Minh / Vietnam; and a manufacturing/packing presence in the USA). The LEGO Group has continued expanding and investing in these factories to support global supply; production is therefore distributed across several countries rather than a single origin. (lego.com)

Brand ownership

The LEGO brand was invented in Denmark (Billund) and the company was founded by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The LEGO Group remains the operating company behind LEGO products, and the family holding KIRKBI A/S is the majority owner of the LEGO Group. KIRKBI acts as the long‑term owner and holding company for the Kristiansen family’s interests. (lego.com)
