LEGO and Universal Products & Experiences have joined forces to create a new LEGO line based on DreamWorks Animation's preschool series, Gabby's Dollhouse. The new line features four sets that are now available for pre-order on LEGO.com and will launch on August 1, 2023.
The Gabby's Dollhouse LEGO line offers a unique role-playing opportunity for children to engage in imaginative play and creative problem-solving while celebrating a growth mindset. The sets encourage flexible thinking, confidence, and learning from mistakes, in line with Gabby's catchphrases, "I haven't figured that out YET" and "I failed fantastically!"
The new LEGO line aims to empower children by modeling ways to overcome challenges through resilience, teamwork, and finding creative solutions, even if things don't work out at first. The aspirational series shares the LEGO brand values of creativity, fun, and imagination, and aligns with the company's vision to be a global force for learning through play.
Senior Designer at the LEGO Group, James Stephenson, said, "I'm excited that we're bringing the world of Gabby's Dollhouse to life in brick form. We are firm believers in learning through play, and Gabby embodies that with her unparalleled tenacity and spirit. I can't wait for children to bring this experience to life in their homes, building the sets, solving problems, and role-playing."
