Several Disney properties, including UP and Willow are among the 36 sets that have qualified for the third LEGO IDEAS review of 2022.
What’s Happening:
- 36 product ideas have reached 10,000 supporters ahead of today’s (January 2nd, 2022) deadline.
- As a result, the projects move from the Idea stage to the Review stage, during which a "LEGO Review Board" composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea.
- The board will build concept models and determine if the concept meets their high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product.
- This will include factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand.
- When the process is finished, the board will make a “go” or “no go” decision on whether or not to develop the projects.
- Among the Disney-related projects is an UP set (seen above).
- This set features 5 characters – Carl Fredricksen, Ellie, Russell, Kevin and Dug.
- The set includes 2,995 pieces and a lot of references to the movie.
- Another Disney set features the Pumpkin King’s house and iconic spiral hill from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- In addition to featuring Jack Skellington and Sally atop the spiral hill, you’ll also see Lock, Shock and Barrell in their walking bathtub.
- The final Disney set is inspired by the original 1988 Willow film.
- The model shows a detailed interpretation of the battle scene at castle Tir Asleen with approximately 3,000 bricks used.
- The set features Willow, Fin Raziel, the Brownies, General Kael with 3 Nockmar warriors, and more.
