Disney’s next big animated flick is Wish, and three LEGO sets based on the film were revealed today. All three depict buildings in the movie’s Kingdom of Rosas, as well as the protagonist Asha in minidoll form. The fabled LEGO goat also returns! Well, sort of. 43223 Asha in the City of Rosas includes pet goat Valentino. Star – presumably another of the film’s main protagonists – also features in this and the other two sets, 43231 Asha’s Cottage and 43224 King Magnifico’s Castle. All three will be available in a little over a month, from October 1st.

43224 King Magnifico’s Castle | 613 Pieces | Available October 1st | US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £84.99

Horrendous!
Only good for (some) parts.
Some neat pieces.
Something I notice is that the more a lego product’s box goes “graphic design is my passion,” the more the movie is going to be an albatross around Disney’s neck. Those boxes feel like a happy meal box, just slap graphics layers together, make sure you hit all the elements, flatten and send to packaging printing. Also Disney is presented more prominently than the movie itself is, which is an odd corporation-advertising move.
