Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are the latestDisneyicons to get a Lego makeover.
Inspired by the dwarfs' quaint woodland home as seen in Disney’s first feature-length animation, this kit is made up of more than 2,200 Lego pieces and comes with 10 minifigures (a feat usually reserved for thebest Lego sets). It is also crammed with nods to the 1937 movie, featuring everything from the Grumpy’s pipe organ to Snow’s wishing well.
As a sprawling kit with an 18+ rating attached, it’s probably no surprise that Lego Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' Cottage has a larger price tag as well – it’s available from the Lego Store for$219.99(or£189.99if you’re based in the UK). I’ve dug into more detail below, but if you’re feeling impatient, the headline is that Lego Insiders can get thisnew Lego setfrom March 1. Everyone else will have to wait until March 4.
Lego Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' Cottage
This surprise set is on the chunkier side, all things considered; at 2,228 pieces and with 10 minifigures included, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' Cottage is one of the bigger Disney kits out there right now (though the Disney Castle has it beat at 4,837). That means it’s got more than a few hidden secrets alongside more obvious nods like the glass box. For instance, if you look closely you can find the pipe organ Grumpy plays along with chests full of gems – and a gem-sorting station out back.
As for minifigures, you’re getting all seven dwarfs (Happy, Dopey, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy, and Sneezy) along with Snow White herself, the Prince, and the evil Queen in her disguise. Yep, she’s holding an apple too.
While we’ve seen some of these before – the Prince and Snow White can be found in the Disney Castle, while the Queen is available from the Villain Icons pack – Ithinkthose dwarfs might be new. Plus, I don’t think we’ve actually seen the cottage in Lego form before. Considering the existence of the Lego Castle, Haunted Mansion, and now this (which is more than a little reminiscent of the Seven Dwarfs' Mine Train in Disney World), fans' shelves are starting to look like a miniature Disney park… and I’m not complaining. Where’s our Pirates of the Caribbean set, Lego?
While it feels like this would have been the perfect announcement for Disney’s 100-year anniversary celebrations a few months back, I can’t complain at how the set looks. It feels as if it’s been pulled from a story-book and manages to hold onto that animated feel despite being made of plastic bricks. The dwarfs are delightful too, as is the woodland feel of the plants surrounding the main build. It’s certainly a contrast to another (but still delightful) Disney kit, theHocus Pocus Lego set. The color-scheme and plant life bringLego Rivendellto mind as well. This is much smaller, of course, but it has a similar vibe.
