LEGO Monkie Kid Continuing Through 2023

September 15, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton did a Q&A on Instagram and he listed off some themes he has been put in charge of for 2023 and some of them may surprise you. As VP of Design, he has his hands full for quite a few product lines for 2023 which include City, Friends, Creator, Classic, Technic, Speed Champions, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Collectible Minifigures, and DOTS.

What’s most interesting is that Monkie Kid will continue releasing products for the next few years. Although Monkie Kid is a very unique theme that caters mostly to the Asian market, I’m not really sure if it’s that popular in the west. They’ve recently announced that the show will finally be available in the US through Amazon Kids+ but it seems quite late since a lot of people have been waiting over a year to watch it and the hype for the theme has substantially cooled down. Original IPs tend to do well with LEGO and they usually run for about two years but if Monkie Kid extends to 2023, that’ll be four years which makes it one of the longer running ones and that isn’t a bad thing.

A few days ago, LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton stated that his dream license will become a LEGO Collectible Minifigures series in 2022. There’s a new rumor floating online stating that it could be based on The Muppets (71033). It is stated that there will be 12 minifigures and will be coming out in the spring at the normal $4.99 price point. As always, this should be treated as a rumor until LEGO announces it.

September 13, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a teaser for what could be the accessories for the LEGO Queer Eye Apartment (10291). The accessories seem to be related to the Fab 5 but I can’t confirm since I never seen the show. LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton has recently teased one of the bricks from the set which was a white masonry brick so they could be related. The official reveal of the set should be some time this week.
