Classic Disney duo are coming to LEGO stores and online from July 1.
Disney’s classic characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse are being brought to life in buildable LEGO brick form.
The large scale characters come dressed in their instantly recognisable original outfits and also come equipped with a series of unique buildable accessories to pose with. These include a retro camera, a guitar and a photo album complete with pictures of the duo’s adventures from years gone by.
Each figure in the new 1,739-piece set also stands on a base that resembles an old-time film reel, complete with the original character signatures.
“We always look to design things that people would like to put on their shelf, including my own, which is why we went for the ‘classic’ Mickey Mouse design with the iconic silhouette and colour palette – as a surprise for builders, the characters insides are built from colourful elements inspired by classic outfits worn by the the pair in the past,” said LEGO designer, Ollie Gregory. “The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Buildable Characters are extremely detailed and intricate, and there were lots of challenges to overcome.
“For example, to create the tips of their noses we even had to bring back the LEGO Classic Space Helmet in black, which hasn’t been seen since 1987.”
The buildable characters – which will be available from July 1 – have been designed specifically with adults in mind and will feature the new adult-focused packaging.
