Zhao, a Chinese LEGO sculptor, recreated Nick Wilde from Disney’s Zootopia into a $15,000 LEGO sculpture only to have it destroyed by a child one hour after it went on display on Sunday at the LEGO Expo in Ningbo, China.

A Chinese boy, who was around the age of four or five, knocked down the large fox figurine display.

The boy’s parents were very apologetic to Zhao, who accepted their apology, according to New York Daily News.

Zhao, who spent three days and nights on the sculpture, declined any compensation for the wrecked artwork saying that the child had not meant to do it. The LEGO sculptor posted pictures on his website of the sculpture and didn’t say much about the incident, except the fact that he was heartbroken to see his work destroyed.
