LEGO Disney news keeps coming! We recently discussed the #43215 LEGO Disney Enchanted Treehouse and the #43221 LEGO Disney 100 Years of Disney Animation Icons, both available starting on June 1st at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Yesterday, LEGO revealed three more Disney sets, all three related to Disney’s Little Mermaid. No doubt, this has to do with the upcoming The Little Mermaid live-action film by visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall, which will open in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023. Below is the trailer, in case you haven’t seen it yet.
As we all know, the Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
The portable #43213 LEGO Disney Little Mermaid Story Book set is suitable for fans aged 5 years and above and features two underwater environments inspired by the film – that can all fold up into a neat book. Firstly, join the Ariel mini-doll in her hideout, along with Sebastian and Flounder and a collection of her land treasures. On the other side of the book, fans will find an Ursula mini-doll in her leviathan cave complete with potions and mystery. The set also features a King Triton mini-doll. The set will be released on May 1st with the following prices: $19.99/€19.99/£17.99. Already available for pre-order at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Build your own treasure collection with the #43229 LEGO Disney Ariel’s Treasure Chest, suitable for film lovers 5 years and older. Once again featuring an Ariel mini-doll, fans can build their own treasure chest, decorate it, and fill it with keepsakes in two secret drawers. In fact, there are a few to get you started such as a candlestick, a statue, and jewels. You can also turn the key in the lock to make Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian spin – just like a music box. The set will be released on May 1st with the following prices: $47.99/€47.99/£42.99 from 1st May 2023. For more info, visit the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Not forgetting grown-up fans too, #43229 LEGO Disney Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell is the perfect play and display piece for LEGO fans. Featuring key moments from the movie, this beautiful build is rich in detail and features seven minifigure characters from the new film, including Ariel, Ursula, King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder, and Ariel’s sisters Indira and Karina. Created for the adult fan, the set includes references to throne rock, Ariel’s grotto, and Ursula’s lair. The set will be released on May 1st with the following prices: $159.99/€159.99/£139.99. Already available for pre-order at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.
