If you thought your wallet would have a break after all the new Lego sets that finally became available today, think again. To help celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, Lego announced a handful of new Disney-themed sets enroute in the coming months, including its next series of collectible minifigures.
The balloon house from Up is going to be a hard set to resist, as are the minifigure versions of Baymax, Stitch, Coco’s Ernesto de la Cruz, and the internet’s favorite animated fox: Robin Hood.
One of Pixar’s best films not featuring anthropomorphic toys, Up finally gets the Lego treatment with a recreation of Carl Fredricksen’s small house including the giant bunch of helium-filled balloons that carries it away. The set also includes minifigure versions of Carl, Russell, and Dug the dog, who might actually be the best reason to grab this one.
Available starting on April 1, for $60.
Lego is also commemorating Disney’s 100th anniversary with its third series of collectible minifigures featuring Disney animated characters. The new Lego Minifigures Disney collection is officially the 42nd series of collectible minifigures the company has released, and will include 18 new figures arriving in stores on May 1, for $5 each.
From the 1973 animated Disney film, Robin Hood, this will easily be the most sought after minifigure in the new collection given the internet’s thirst for the suave animated fox.
Every hero needs a villain, and for Robin Hood, it’s Prince John.
Set the wayback machine to the earliest days of Disney animation with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey’s precursor, who includes a movie clapboard.
Is this the puppet version of Pinocchio, or the real boy? It’s hard to say without being able to ask him and seeing if his nose grows?
The world would be a better place if everyone had a little Jiminy Cricket on their shoulder, and now everyone can.
Mickey in his Sorcerer’s Apprentice getup is a welcome reminder that everyone occasionally has really bad days at work.
From the 2009 animated film, The Princess and the Frog, comes Tiana with a frog in one hand, and a sign for her restaurant in the other.
Also from the 2009 animated film, The Princess and the Frog, comes Dr. Facilier, memorably voiced by Keith David.
Alice’s adventures in Wonderland became a lot less wonderful when she crossed paths with the Queen of Hearts.
Did you know that the exhausted main character of Disney’s 1959 animated film, Sleeping Beauty, was named Aurora? Now you do.
Before Ming-Na Wen was Fennec Shand in, The Mandalorian, which just started season three, she voiced Mulan in the 1998 animated film of the same name.
Pixar’s most beautiful film, Coco, actually makes us kind of excited to visit the afterlife, assuming Ernesto de la Cruz isn’t there.
We thought Up’s Dug would be the only Lego minifigure dog we’d be excited about today, but then we saw Coco’s Dante who loyally tags along with Miguel in his Day of the Dead facepaint.
Can you paint with all the colors of wind? You will be if you manage to find this Pocahontas minifigure.
We aren’t the only ones kind of creeped out that Lego has included a tiny dalmation puppy with its Cruella de Vil minifigure, right? They know what she plans to do with it, don’t they?
Experiment 626, better known as Stitch, is ready to cause some intergalactic chaos with a pair of blasters in hand.
A close second to Robin Hood as our most sought after minifigure in this collection is the inflatable robot Baymax popping out of his charging case and ready to assess your medical emergency.
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, which minifigure in this new collection comes with the best accessory of them all?” Clearly it’s Sleeping Beauty’s evil Queen and her magic mirror.
Despite being geared towards younger builders just discovering their Lego fandom, and the fact that it’s not compatible with Lego train tracks, this adorable Disney Celebration Train might still be worthy of a spot in your collection with a handful of minifigures including Tinkerbell, Woody, and Moana, riding on matching themed floats. Stage a main street parade right across your desk.
Available starting on April 1, for $40.
