LEGO Animal Crossing is a product line made by toy company LEGO in collaboration with Nintendo. It features LEGO sets based on locations from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with each containing one or more minifigures of villagers or special characters from the game. The product line launched on March 1, 2024, with six sets initially available. A total of eight sets have been released as of August 2024.
History[edit]
Nintendo teased LEGO Animal Crossing via a short video on Twitter on October 5, 2023, featuring LEGO minifigures of various Animal Crossing characters.[1] The product line was fully announced on October 10, 2023, containing five sets based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons and releasing on March 1, 2024.[2] A smaller sixth set, Maple's Pumpkin Garden, was released alongside the other sets and was initially included with certain purchases of US$50.00 or more from the online LEGO Shop.
On April 26, 2024, LEGO announced that two more LEGO Animal Crossing sets, Fly with Dodo Airlines and K.K.'s Concert at the Plaza, would be released on August 1, 2024.[3] Later that month, on August 21, LEGO announced an additional three sets—Stargazing with Celeste, Leif's Caravan & Garden Shop, and Able Sisters Clothing Shop—would be released on January 1, 2025.[4]

Trivia[edit]
- The initial teaser trailer for LEGO Animal Crossing features the Kapp'n minifigure with long sleeves. In subsequent promotional material and the final product, his lower arms are colored green to match his short-sleeved appearance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
- The set "Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House" features fish bait inside the shop's cabinet alongside a flower bag; however, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, fish bait can only be obtained through crafting and is not sold at Nook's Cranny.
