Lego 'Wednesday' rumours and discussion.

[Agent Kallus]

So we have it confirmed, at least 2 sets plus a brickheadz two pack.

40750: Wednesday Brickheadz - 239 parts -$9.99

76780 : ??? - 702 parts -$49.99

76781 : ??? - 750 parts -$79.99

Coming in October.

That's all we know but personally I'm hoping the smaller set is her dorm room and the larger set is the Addams family house.

Also, the figures will be mini dolls, based on the leaks going around. Odd decision, if you ask me, but oh well...

[BrickBob Studpants]

Well there goes my interest, if it’s indeed a minidoll theme. Boooooo

Leaks do get things wrong now and again, boy do I hope that this is one of them.

I've bought minidoll sets before but only to covert them into minifig ones, and without the Addams family characters as minifigs these sets won't do much for me.

@BrickBob Studpants, if both Wednesday and Wicked themes are for minidolls indeed, then you are busted - they are not 4XXX while other Friends, Disney, Elves and DC Superhero Girls have/had that set numbers…. :P

[fantasticfootno]

So, now that we know its minidolls, I'm going to predict Thing will be part 5059. The new hand prosthetic that came in the friends hospital this year.

Well, how am I supposed to know that they suddenly change their numbering conventions?

I expect Thing to be represented by this part either way, honestly, that hand doesn’t look very necessarily minidoll-ish. I am wondering if we might get a version of the ‘power blast’ minifig hand attachment piece with an anti stud instead of a stud though, that would be interesting and let him walk around.

So there are two sets? Who do we think the figures could be? Mostly Wednesday exclusive characters or appearances from some of the Addams Family like Morticia, Fester, Gomez and Pugsley ?

I'm really excited for this theme. Honestly, I love the idea of a goth minidoll theme, and I think the characters from the show will translate really well to the minidoll style.

The show features all of the Addams family, so there's definitely a possibility that they could all make an appearance, but I'm guessing these sets will likely lean toward the Wednesday characters. Outside of Wednesday, I expect we'll get Enid, the principal, Eugene, Ms. Thornhill and the Hyde at the very least.

My guess for the sets is that both will be parts of Nevermore Academy and they'll combine together in some way. I expect that we'll see Wednesday and Enid's dorm, the principals office, the conservatory and maybe the quad. I also expect one of these sets will recreate the school ball and we'll get Wednesday's outfit from the dance.

[Agent Kallus]

Weird that we've seen it heard nothing more of this but have had quite a bit for wicked, I thought they were both coming at around the same time.

According to @Brick Clicker, 76780 includes buildable figures of Wednesday, Enid, and Thing, 76781 is Wednesday‘s bedroom with the same three characters (Thing being moulded), and 40750 is a Brickheadz set

Interesting that they‘re going for buildable figures within a minidoll theme… Has to be a first (unless you count the Bruni figure from Frozen II)

Olaf came out two years before Bruni. And he's probably more of a "figure" than Bruni.

Wednesday dorm set leaked (assuming it's real).

Looks pretty good. Two variations of Wednesday and Enid included I believe and Thing.

[Agent Kallus]

Shame it turned out to be two different Wednesdays rather than Wednesday and Enid for the buildable figures. Looks like more sets than expected, with the gate, the dorm, the Brickheadz and the Brickheadz.

[Lion King]

So the rumor says that there is a new gargoyle piece, yees??

Not just rumours, I saw the pictures myself  It's similar in size to the HP pixies, maybe a bit larger.

Fantastic! It is a shame that they should hve made gargoyle and raven molds for Hidden Side before it was discontinued. Hidden Side was a perfect spooky thee wiht bunch of ghosts! I. Can’t wait for gargoyle piece!

I hope the Gargoyles become available through PAB.  I have no interest in the Wednesday theme.  The roof top set that has the gargoyles is cute but not something I need.

Now that you mention it - i don’t think gargoyles are IP-locked - they should be avaialbe in PAB some days. Or at least they show up in other non-licensed themes.

[Agent Kallus]

Official pictures out now. ( On a Wednesday no less)

I must say they've made some odd choices here. The gate included in the buildable doll set for example, I thought it was a separate set when less clear pictures leaked. I might have bought the buildable nevermore wednesday for £10-£15 but I won't buy 2 outfits and a gate for £50 ( vague guess as UK prices aren't confirmed). Also having the 4 figures in the form set be 2 Wednesdays and 2 Enids is bizarre. Either 4 different characters, or 3 with an extra Wednesday, or if they must do 2 Enids and Wednesdays then have 1 minidoll and 1 minifig of each.

I still think this could be a precursor to an Addams Family home D2C for next Halloween.

These aren't for me, but I think the buildable figs look surprisingly good. They're getting trashed on reddit though, probably because on reddit anything for girls is automatically bad.

I think it's cool that they're using an arm construction we've seen many MOCers use, and I'm excited about getting that new hand piece, hopefully in more colors.
