LEGO has been releasing some really fun brick-built characters lately, based on popular animated characters. The #43271 LEGO Disney 101 Dalmatian Puppies set features Lucky and Penny, and the #43269 LEGO Disney 101 Dalmatians set features a puppy that could be any of the bunch! Simba is featured in both the #43243 LEGO Disney Simba the Lion King Cub and the #43247 LEGO Disney Young Simba the Lion King. The #40920 LEGO Bugs Bunny and #40824 LEGO Tweety Bird are another fun pair. And coming soon are the #43300 LEGO Disney Winnie the Pooh and #43305 LEGO Disney Piglet’s Birthday Fun. Yet another cute upcoming set is the #21368 LEGO Ideas Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse.
Snoopy is fully poseable with two alternative leg builds for sitting and standing, and two neck positions for lying down and standing. You can display him lying on top of his house with his friend Woodstock on his belly, sitting up typing on his typewriter, or in standing poses. The interior walls of the doghouse can be folded out to create a starry night sky, the perfect backdrop for Snoopy and Woodstock to ’toast’ marshmallows on the campfire. I’m surprised LEGO didn’t make a set with these beloved characters before! You can already pre-order this adorable set at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Winnie the Pooh has been featured before in several LEGO DUPLO sets, as well as in the #21326 LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh set from three years ago. This time, both characters are brick-built with movable body parts and various accessories. Pooh’s “Hunny” pot opens to reveal two rooms and holds a Winnie the Pooh minifigure and Eeyore. Piglet’s cake also opens to reveal Winnie the Pooh’s house on one side, the Hundred Acre Wood on the other, and features a Piglet minifigure. This year celebrates the 100th anniversary of these beloved characters, and these sets are a perfect way to re-immerse yourself in their world. Winnie the Pooh will be available in March, and you can already pre-order Piglet at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
