Owning Lamborghini’s off-road supercar is a fairly exclusive affair. Building one at home is another matter. Mattel Brick Shop shrinks the Huracán Sterrato into a customizable model with opening doors and interchangeable wheel covers, then includes a matching Hot Wheels metal car. That’s two Lamborghinis without having to clear the garage.
The Joker isn’t the obvious choice for calming home decor, especially when his head appears to dissolve into bats. LEGO recreates that unsettling comic cover in three dimensions, with facial features pushing outward and scattered shapes escaping the frame. Even contained in bricks, he refuses to stay neatly within the lines.
Batman’s Arkham ride looks built to drive through trouble, and LEGO gives its miniature version working suspension to help with the journey. The armored Batmobile also follows the Batman Returns set in offering a video game bonus, letting owners take a little of their building experience into LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
LEGO’s Wednesday sets have been giving fans mini-dolls, but the Nevermore Academy changes that with her first classic minifigure. The school itself takes the opposite approach, shrinking into a microscale build with tiny Wednesday and Enid figures. There’s even a secret drawer beneath the academy to stash them away.
