After the unexpected tease late last week, today the LEGO Group and Disney fully unveil the Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Buildable Characters. This iconic duo has graced cinema screens since the late 1920s after being created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Their connection to the Disney brand remains just as strong today. Making them the perfect pair to front the first adult-focused LEGO Disney set. Both Mickey and Minnie are recreated in LEGO form as a pair of unique displayable figures. Each stands upon a film cell base and includes various accessories such as a vintage camera, flowers and a book. The set will be available from LEGO stores and LEGO.com from July 1st. (August 1st for North America) Check out the set in more detail below. I must add that when I first saw the set, thanks to that single leaked image, I wasn’t that taken by it. Since seeing the set in more detail, it’s far more impressive looking.
