The LEGO Ideas team has just released an announcement that will certainly delight AFOLs and fans of the 80s. This time, they’re reaching deep into the vault of 80’s nostalgia with the announcement of new LEGO Ideas sets based on iconic films from the decade. Thanks to the recent If We Could Turn Back Time challenge on LEGO Ideas, fans will soon be able to get their hands on some truly exciting new releases, including a LEGO Goonies set and a buildable LEGO Gizmo figure from Gremlins.
The 80s Are Back: LEGO Goonies Set Announcement
LEGO Goonies: A Nostalgic Adventure in Brick Form
For fans of the classic 80’s film The Goonies, the announcement of a LEGO Goonies set is nothing short of a dream come true. This highly anticipated set created by Delusion Brick, promises to capture the adventurous spirit of the movie, transporting builders back to the days of treasure maps, pirate ships, and epic childhood adventures.
One-Eyed Willie’s Pirate Ship: The Ultimate Playset
One of the standout features of the LEGO Goonies set is the detailed recreation of One-Eyed Willie’s pirate ship. On one side, you’ll find a meticulously crafted playset that pays homage to the iconic finale of the film. This is more than just a display piece; it’s a playground for your imagination, allowing you to relive the thrilling climax of the Goonies’ quest for treasure.
On the flip side, the set includes mini vignettes that trace the Goonies’ journey throughout the movie. These connected scenes offer a variety of play experiences, making it easy to recreate key moments from the film. From the hidden caves to the booby traps, every detail has been carefully considered to delight fans and builders alike in this upcoming LEGO Goonies set.
LEGO Gizmo: The Cutest Brick-Built Figure Yet
While the LEGO Goonies set is sure to be a hit, it’s not the only exciting release coming our way. The buildable LEGO Gizmo figure, inspired by the *Gremlins* movie, is another standout project that’s set to become a favorite among collectors and fans.
Articulation and Detail: A Posable Masterpiece
Designed by the talented LEGO Ideas contributor Terauma, the LEGO Gizmo figure is a posable brick-built figure that’s bursting with personality. Featuring multiple articulation points, this figure is more than just a static model; it’s a fully interactive piece that allows for a range of poses and expressions.
But it’s not just the articulation that makes this figure special. The attention to detail is astounding, with every brick carefully chosen to capture the essence of this beloved 80’s character. From his big ears to his expressive eyes, Gizmo has never looked better in LEGO brick form.
One of the coolest features of the LEGO Gizmo figure is its ability to be modified into the Rambo Gizmo from Gremlins 2. This fun twist adds an extra layer of playability to the figure, allowing fans to recreate one of the most memorable moments from the sequel. While the buildable figure itself is impressive, the addition of potential Gremlin minifigures would be the icing on the cake, making this set a must-have for any fan of the franchise.
Return to the 80s Pop Culture with the LEGO Goonies and LEGO Gizmo Sets
The “If We Could Turn Back Time” challenge was a brilliant move by LEGO, tapping into the ever-present demand for nostalgic themes from the 1980s. Fans have been clamoring for a Goonies set ever since the inception of LEGO Ideas, and it’s clear that the excitement surrounding this release is well-deserved.
But LEGO’s decision to explore these franchises goes beyond just fan service. They’ve already secured the rights to both *The Goonies* and *Gremlins* through their work on LEGO Dimensions, so it only makes sense to fully utilize these licenses in their latest sets. This move not only satisfies long-time fans but also introduces these iconic films to a new generation of LEGO enthusiasts.
What’s Next? The Possibilities Are Endless
With the eventual release of the LEGO Goonies and LEGO Gizmo sets, the door is wide open for more 80s-inspired sets to join the LEGO lineup. Fans can’t help but speculate on what might come next. Could we finally see the LEGO A-Team van, or perhaps the iconic KITT from Knight Rider? Though these sets already received their respective LEGO treatment when we first saw them as part of the now-discontinued LEGO Dimensions theme, the possibility of having full-sized sets from these IPs is surely exciting.
The LEGO Goonies and LEGO Gizmo sets are set to bring a wave of 80s nostalgia to your LEGO collection. With intricate designs, playful features, and a deep connection to beloved films, these fan-inspired sets will certainly be on every 80s LEGO fan’s wishlist.
