The LEGO Disney theme was one of the first LEGO themes to have some of its 2025 lineup of sets officially revealed as two brand new sets celebrating the release of the second Moana film were officially unveiled. These two Moana 2 models were 43260 Moana's Island Fun and 43270 Moana’s Adventure Canoe which launch on the 1st of January 2025 alongside five more LEGO Disney branded sets that have now also been presented by LEGO.
All seven of the January 2025 sets are based on Disney Princesses and are therefore all minidoll based rather than Minifigures which we mainly saw throughout 2023 when LEGO celebrated 100 years of Disney magic. Along with the Moana 2 characters of Moana, Moni and Loto that we officially saw in October, characters such as Anna, Ariel, Cinderella and many more also make a brick-built appearance this winter.
43256 Anna's Sleigh Adventure
Our first set on this list is 43256 Anna's Sleigh Adventure which is aimed at the younger builders with a 4+ age rating. The main build of the set will be a brick-built recreation of the sleigh that Anna and Kristoff ride in the first film. Being a 4+ set, one large moulded piece will be used for the outline of the sleigh along with plenty of simpler, large pieces to make the build relatively uninteresting but extremely easy to build.
For that price tag of $34.99 with 192 pieces, a small side build of a stable connected to a hot chocolate stand is also included. A brick-built sledging hill and sledge are also included along with plenty of food-related accessories such as a carrot, a chocolate bar, a candy can and a couple of hot chocolate mugs. Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf are all included as characters in 43256.
Set Name - Anna's Sleigh Adventure
Set Number - 43256
Age Range - 4+
Piece Count - 192
Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43259 Twirling Ariel
43259 Twirling Ariel is basically the Little Mermaid version of 43214 Twirling Rapunzel retailing for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 with a total of 93 pieces included. Ariel is obviously included as a minidoll in her transforming 'diamond' dress. She sits on a small music box like build which features a turning plate, a LEGO key and space for her best friend Flounder the fish.
Set Name - Twirling Ariel
Set Number - 43259
Age Range - 5+
Piece Count - 93
Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43260 Moana's Island Fun
The first of two LEGO Moana 2 sets is 43260 Moana's Island Fun which retails for a total of $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 with 175 pieces and two mini minidolls included. These characters are Moana and Simea who are included along with Pua the pig. The set includes two main builds that are connected via hinge connections and can therefore easily be closed and reopened. One build is Moana's home island and village whilst the other build is a much more exotic landscape of the island of Motunui.
Set Name - Moana's Island Fun
Set Number - 43260
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 175
Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43261 Encanto Mini House
A brick-built version of the house from Encanto is already on shelves of 43245 The Magical Madrigal House but 43261 Encanto Mini House is a much smaller, micro-scale model of the iconic Encanto house. The build is basically an Encanto-themed version of the previous Moana 2 set, including a key function, a capybara and two mini minidolls of Antonio and Mirabel.
Set Name - Encanto Mini House
Set Number - 43261
Age Range - 5+
Piece Count - 186
Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43265 Arendelle Frozen Castle
43265 Arendelle Frozen Castle on paper sounds like a brilliant set but with a price tag of $29.99 with only 177 pieces, it was never going to be anything mind-blowing. Instead, the build is a very small and simplified version of the Arendelle Castle from the film Frozen with very little detail for its interior. Elsa and Anna minidolls are included along with Olaf the snowman.
Set Name - Arendelle Frozen Castle
Set Number - 43265
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 177
Price - $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43270 Moana’s Adventure Canoe
Our second LEGO Moana 2 set so far, with a buildable Hei Hei also reportedly in the works, is 43270 Moana’s Adventure Canoe. This 8+ includes 529 pieces and three minidolls retailing for $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99. These three minidolls are all exclusive of a brand new variant of Moana, Moni and Loto along with a mould of Pua the Pig. As the name suggests, the main build and only build of the set is Moana’s Adventure Canoe - the biggest and most detailed version in brick-built form yet.
Set Name - Moana’s Adventure Canoe
Set Number - 43270
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 529
Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43275 Cinderella's Castle & Horse Carriage
Last but not least is the largest LEGO Disney set launching on the 1st of January 2025 of 43275 Cinderella's Castle & Horse Carriage. Similar to the other brick-built castle in this winter wave of 43265 Arendelle Castle the price-to-piece ratio isn't favourable with only 596 pieces included for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99.
Regardless, a detailed version of Cinderella’s iconic castle, with turrets, a very small ballroom, bedrooms and ornate decorations is the main build of 43275. The carriage is also included in its royal design drawn by a white horse. Cinderella and Prince Charming are included as minidolls along with the animal figures of Lucifer and Gus.
Set Name - Cinderella's Castle & Horse Carriage
Set Number - 43275
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 596
Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
