Let it float. It’s National Bubble Week.
Following its unveiling last month at New York Toy Fair, LEGO is launching its first-ever Peanuts-themed building set.
Created by renowned cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, Peanuts debuted as a daily comic strip on October 2, 1950. Featuring memorable characters such as Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt, Peppermint Patty, Snoopy, and Woodstock, this family-friendly franchise has entertained audiences for more than 75 years. Over the decades, the world of Peanuts has expanded far beyond the funny pages, inspiring everything from board games to baseball caps—and even a beloved Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine.
Perhaps one of the most recognizable structures in all of popular culture, Snoopy’s red doghouse played a rather significant role in much of Schultz’s storytelling. Whether a writing desk for the World-Famous Author, or the nimble aircraft of the Flying Ace, this simple shelter was more than just a home, but a central piece in many unforgettable adventures. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that LEGO is kicking off its premiere Peanuts collaboration with a new model based on that very doghouse.
Featuring 964 pieces and measuring over 10 inches tall once fully assembled, the upcoming Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse set from the LEGO Ideas collection lets builders recreate a heartwarming scene starring Charlie Brown’s beloved beagle. The cozy display features Snoopy and his best buddy Woodstock gathered around a campfire, happily toasting marshmallows beneath a starry sky.
Designed with versatility in mind, the set also allows builders to pose and display Snoopy in several different ways, thanks to an adjustable neck and legs. Thus, fans can showcase the popular pup lounging atop the roof with Woodstock resting on his belly, sitting up while typing away on his typewriter, or simply standing beside the doghouse.
A must-have for fans, this adult-aimed model is a charming tribute to one of comic history’s most iconic characters. Designed for builders 18 and up, the Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse set is priced at $89.99 USD and is available for pre-order through LEGO.com. Look for it to arrive at retail on June 1.
