We cannot remember the last time we talked about a LEGO Ideas Review. Oh, wait. I think it was the First 2025 LEGO Ideas Review last October. There must have been a bug in the timeline that caused us to sail past the Second Review and land straight on the Third 2025 LEGO Ideas Review, a.k.a. 2025-3. Please pardon our lame excuse for missing the 2025-2 review.
Thankfully, we did not miss it because the results include two important pop culture icons of our time. All told, three LEGO Ideas submissions were green-lit: the Jumanji Board Game by PrehistoricHamster051 and Universal Monsters by SpectralBricks—the two pop culture icons we spoke of—plus a lovely pair of brick-built characters called LEGO Kimonos by TheDriXx.
Jumanji Board Game
PrehistoricHamster051’s Jumanji Board Game is based on the cursed board game from Jumanji (1995, Sony Pictures). You know, the game that brings the jungle into your home and refuses to pack everything away until somebody wins.
The 1,610-piece proposal unfolds to reveal scenes inside the Parrish house, including the vine-covered living room, flooded hallway, monkey-infested kitchen, Van Pelt’s library hideout, and the attic where the trouble began. It comes with Alan Parrish, Sarah Whittle, Judy and Peter Shepherd, Van Pelt, and Officer Carl Bentley minifigures, plus four game tokens and two dice. Hopefully, the retail version retains the ability to play without releasing mosquitoes the size of small aircraft.
Universal Monsters
SpectralBricks gathered Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, and the Phantom of the Opera under one very gloomy roof.
Their home is an approximately 2,250-piece Gothic castle containing a grand foyer, secret passages, a pipe-organ-equipped music room, bell tower, dungeon, catacombs, and Frankenstein’s laboratory. It is essentially prime real estate for monsters, assuming sunlight, cheerful neighbors, and modern interior design are deal-breakers.
Oh, if I may add that the set is presented in the gloomiest colors possible because, you know, horror.
LEGO Kimonos
TheDriXx’s LEGO Kimonos trades minifigures for two large brick-built figures wearing elaborate traditional Japanese clothing. Their colorful kimonos feature patterns inspired by cherry blossoms, cranes, and flowers, accompanied by a parasol and fan.
The figures have poseable arms and movable legs, while their hairstyles, floral decorations, and kimono elements can be swapped. They sit on a modular display base, making the pair look more like decorative art pieces than toys—which means adults can buy them and confidently call it culture.
All three projects will now become official LEGO Ideas sets. Final designs, piece counts, prices, and release dates have yet to be announced.
Others
Meanwhile, several Product Ideas have been moved into the Parking Lot to allow more review time before a decision is made. Joining the Daft Punk Concert by RobotRock (from 2025-1) and Lunch Atop a Skyscraper by DallasBricks (from 2025-2) are Hollow Knight: A Journey to Hallownest by PingouinRainbowDash, Bob’s Burgers Grand Re-Opening by Greygo, iMac G3 by Terauma, and Naruto: Ichiraku Ramen Shop by DadiTwins.
