The LEGO Super Mario Bros. series has been a massive success for both LEGO and Nintendo, so it’s no surprise that the two are looking to adapt more video game properties into the popular block toys. Next up is Animal Crossing, with new figures based on iconic characters from the beloved lifestyle sim franchise.

Nintendo revealed the LEGO Animal Crossing set in a tweet this morning. The video features LEGO figures of Tom Nook, Isabelle, Bunnie, Rosie, Fauna, Marshal, Kappa, and Julian. It’s unknown if the set will be limited to these eight characters, or if LEGO will pull from the franchise’s deep roster of animals. Unlike the LEGO Mario, Bowser, and Donkey Kong figures, the Animal Crossing figures appear to use the standard dimensions and structure for LEGO figures.

The video only shows the characters themselves, so it's unclear what will be featured in the full set, but it’s likely that we could see one of the memorable locations from the Animal Crossing series get the LEGO treatment. There is also no word on pricing and release date, though if the Mario sets are any indication, the Animal Crossing LEGO set will be a hot commodity when it releases.

LEGO is no stranger to video games, but its partnership with Nintendo has been especially fruitful. The initial Super Mario Bros. set was a hit, leading to sets for Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Donkey Kong. We’ll be watching closely for more information on the upcoming LEGO Animal Crossing set and will be sure to share updates on our LEGO topic page.
