Almost every LEGO release can be counted as a cheerful set. OK, maybe every set except for the recent The Nightmare Before Christmas one made for adult fans of LEGO. But the gloom doesn’t stop at the Halloween Town Hall set. No, it’s not another The Nightmare Before Christmas set, and no, Corpse Bride isn’t here either. This time, it’s The Addams Family, or should I say Wednesday. And it’s not just one set—there are three.
LEGO has officially teamed up with the queen of deadpan herself, Wednesday Addams, to deliver some delightfully gloomy new sets. In a world where most things are bright and cheerful, LEGO’s decided to dim the lights a little, serving up not one, not two, but three new sets based on the Netflix hit series. So, let’s get cozy with some LEGO bricks and a dash of gothic charm.
First up, we’ve got the LEGO Wednesday: Wednesday Addams Figure (76780). This isn’t just your regular Wednesday—she’s packing 702 pieces and comes with not one, but two faces (because why settle for just one?). Whether you want her in her Nevermore Academy uniform or her iconic black dress from the Rave’N Dance, Wednesday’s ready to pose, brood, or glare. There’s a gate to Nevermore Academy, her typewriter, and of course, a grave for her scorpion Nero. Thing makes an appearance, too—well, just his hand, but that’s all he needs.
Then there’s the LEGO Wednesday: Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room (76781)—the coolest set among the three, IMHO. It’s 750 pieces of pure contrast: Wednesday’s dark, brooding side vs. Enid’s rainbow explosion. They’ve squeezed the iconic spiderweb window in there, alongside secret drawers to stash Wednesday’s creepy cello and Enid’s, well, less creepy phone. The set has two versions of each character, so you can pick your favorite mood for each. Perfect for a dramatic dorm room showdown.
Finally, for those who just want a bite-sized bit of morbid fun, there’s the LEGO BrickHeadz Wednesday & Enid set (40750). With 239 pieces, you can build these two besties in mini form. Wednesday comes in her classic black dress, while Enid gets her signature pop of color. They’ll be sitting on your shelf, judging your life choices—just like on the show.
The Wednesday Addams Figure is priced at US$49.99, the Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room at US$89.99, and the BrickHeadz set at US$19.99. Perfect for fans who love their LEGO with a side of spooky. So folks, get ready for some seriously monochromatic brick-building fun starting October 1st!
