LEGO has been on something of a Gen X nostalgia kick lately. We’ve had sets from Transformers, Jaws, and now, we have a throwback to a comedy-horror classic from the ’80s. It’s thanks to the Ideas line this time – specifically, the ‘If We Could Turn Back Time’ building challenge. Fan designer Terauma took the grand prize with their model of Gizmo from the iconic ’80s flick Gremlins. As a reward, it got turned into an official set! 21361 Gizmo contains 1,125 pieces, and when it launches on October 1, it will retail for US $109.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99.
There are more pictures and info after the jump – although there’s no word on when you should feed it…
LEGO Ideas 21361 Gizmo | 1,125 Pieces | Available October 1 |US $109.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99
Here is LEGO’s description of the set:
Show your affection for the cutest Mogwai in the 1984 movie Gremlins™ with a LEGO® Ideas posable figure of Gizmo (21361). This collectible model building set for adults allows you to capture all of Gizmo’s adorable characteristics in LEGO style. Assemble the Gizmo figure so he is either standing up or sitting down. Rotate his head and adjust his ears, arms, hands, fingers and feet to create different looks. The set also includes iconic accessories to make your display even more irresistible: a water splash element, alluding to how water makes Mogwais replicate, which attaches to Gizmo’s back, plus brick-built 3D glasses like the ones Gizmo used to read comic books.
This LEGO Ideas building set for adults makes a delightful nostalgic gift for movie lovers, allowing them to create fantasy decor that will make any Gremlins fan smile.
