On October 1 Lego will release a 1,125-piece Gremlins Gizmo set as part of the Lego Ideas line. The 8-inch Gizmo figure was a fan-submitted concept that won the If We Could Turn Back Time competition and is available for preorder at Target and the Lego Store for $110. The set evokes comparisons to Grogu from The Mandalorian, and Gremlins director Joe Dante previously accused Disney and Lucasfilm of copying Gizmo's design. The figure offers more posable limbs and a more realistic look than recent Baby Yoda Lego sets. The set's water element is non-replicative. Alternative Gremlins collectibles and Bricktember Lego deals are available.
Lego's Gizmo figure is likely to draw comparisons to Grogu (Baby Yoda) from The Mandalorian. After all, Gremlins director Joe Dante accused Disney and Lucasfilm of copying Gizmo's design back in 2022. Admittedly, when we first saw Lego's Gremlins set, we thought of this 1,073-piece Baby Yoda Lego set released in 2020 as well as this newer, 1,048-piece Grogu with Hover Pram set. Gizmo has more posable limbs than the Baby Yoda Lego sets, and he also looks more realistic than the cute Star Wars character.
As mentioned, the water element in the Lego set won't cause Gizmo to replicate, but there are some cute figure collections featuring Gizmo and his offspring. Fisher Price's Little People Collector's Series includes a four-pack of Gremlins characters for $19 (was $25). There's also a four-pack of diecast Gremlins figures for $20.68 at Amazon. If you're looking for a new Lego set to build before October, check out Walmart's Bricktember Sale.
