Three more LEGO Disney sets were officially revealed just the other day for a 1st of March 2025 release but just a month after these sets hit the shelves, the LEGO Disney theme will release its first D2C model of the year. This 18+ D2C model in particular is 43263 Beauty And The Beast Castle which launches on the 1st of April 2025, retailing for $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99 with a currently unknown piece count.
The release of 43263 will be our third LEGO Disney D2C Castle following on from 43222 Disney Castle and 71040 Disney Castle which both recreated Cinderella's castle in brick-built LEGO form. 43263 will also be the cheapest of the three so far yet still built in the same scale, packed full of new and exclusive LEGO Disney-themed Minifigures.
Talking about Minifigures, the amount included in 43263 is currently unknown but we can speculate what characters are likely to be included in the 18+ model. Belle in her gorgeous yellow ball gown is 100% confirmed and it would be great to see another variant of her included in her blue village attire. Beast is also guaranteed and it would again be great to see a separate Minifigure of him as Prince Adam also included.
Gaston, Lumière & Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Madame de la Grande Bouche (the wardrobe) and Enchantress are further characters that we would also love to see in this brick-built rendition of the castle from Beauty And The Beast. Unique accessories relating to these characters would also be extremely welcomed such as Belle’s reading book, Gaston’s tavern mug, and the Beast’s magic mirror.
The build itself will be a detailed recreation of the Beast’s iconic castle with gothic and fairytale architectural elements included in the 18+ build. Sections of the castle that may be included are the likes of the West Wing, the ballroom, and the library along with a detailed exterior possibly including a small section of the forest. The brick-built rose will likely be the focal point of the castle in its transparent glass dome.
