An 'Animal Crossing' and LEGO Collaboration Is Coming
Officially teased by Nintendo, five buildable sets are expected to come next year.
Nintendo and LEGO have established a healthy partnership that has introduced a range of products that reimagine gaming in the world of LEGO. In recent years, this has included everything from a recreation of the classic NES console to a Super Mario 64 question block that opens up to reveal the game’s most iconic areas. Now, the latest project from the duo has been officially announced — a line of Animal Crossing-themed sets.
A brief teaser of the collaboration sees Rosie, Bunnie, Marshal, Kappa, Fauna, Julian, Isabelle and everyone’s favorite racoon Tom Nook in minifigure form. While no products were unveiled, a rumor from August about what to expect from the collaboration remains possible. Five sets ranging in price from $15 USD to $75 USD were listed and remain the most likely delivery from the duo to kick things off.
We’re still awaiting an official product range reveal from Nintendo and LEGO as their collaborative line of Animal Crossing-themed sets are rumored to touch down on shelves during March of 2024. Stay tuned for updates and enjoy the full preview video below.
