Just a couple of days ago we already got our first look at LEGO Disney's lineup for 2025 with two brand new sets celebrating the second Moana film releasing next month. These two Moana 2 models are 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.
All seven of the January 2025 sets are based on Disney Princesses and will therefore all be 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've already seen leaks of, we expect characters such as Anna, Ariel, Cinderella and many more to 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 Christoph 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 may also be included along with the sleigh. This is likely to include more accessories for the sleigh or a small scenic build of some snow and a small tree. Anna will definitely be included as a minidoll along with possibly Christoph, Sven or even Olaf.
Set Name - Anna's Sleigh Adventure
Set Number - 43256
Age Range - 4+
Piece Count - 192
Price - $34.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43259 Ariel's Music Box
43259 Ariel's Music Box was originally rumoured to be a Little Mermaid version of 43214 Twirling Rapunzel. However, the set name and price suggests a slightly different and more expansive build than the one originally reported.
The set name suggests a brick-built version of a Little Mermaid music box possibly shaped like a treasure chest or a seashell to keep in the theme of the princess movie. A twirling feature may still be included on top of the larger box where a single minidoll of Ariel can be placed. Accessories such as musical instruments (like a harp or trumpet) or iconic items from the movie, like dinglehoppers, may also be included for that $19.99 price tag.
Set Name - Ariel's Music Box
Set Number - 43259
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - TBC
Price - $19.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43260 Moana's Island Fun
The first of two LEGO Moana 2 sets is 43260 Moana's Island Fun. We already have our first image of the set which we'll once again show here for you:
43260 Moana's Island Fun 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 Mini Encanto House
A brick-built version of the house from Encanto is already on shelves of 43245 The Magical Madrigal House but this set suggests a somewhat repeated build. However, recent LEGO Disney models imply that 43261 Mini Encanto House may be in a similar scale to 43260 Moana's Island Fun - a mini minidoll-based set. Both retail for $19.99 and would be very affordable and appeal to the young LEGO Disney demographic.
Set Name - Mini Encanto House
Set Number - 43261
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - TBC
Price - $19.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
43265 Arendelle Castle
43265 Arendelle Castle on paper sounds like a brilliant set but with a price tag of $29.99 with only 177 pieces it may not live up to our initial expectations. We expect a very small and simplified version of Arendelle Castle from the film Frozen with little to no interior. Most of the detail is likely to be focused on the exterior which may use a lot of larger elements explaining that $30 price tag.
Only one or two minidolls are also likely to be included even though there is the possibility this could be another mini minidoll-based set. The weird scale would give LEGO plenty more options to recreate this castle in only 177 pieces and keep it more affordable.
Set Name - Arendelle Castle
Set Number - 43265
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 177
Price - $29.99 / €TBC / £TBC
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+ model we also have our first images of which we'll present to you here:
43270 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. The boat contains a small campfire, some food of a pineapple and a fish, canoeing equipment and what looks to be a small home for Pua along with a large, printed sail.
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.
Regardless, a detailed version of Cinderella’s iconic castle, possibly with turrets, a ballroom, and ornate decorations will be the main build of 43275. The carriage will also be included in either its pumpkin or royal design, drawn by white horses. Characters could include Cinderella, Prince Charming, and perhaps Fairy Godmother. The set might also feature royal accessories like a glass slipper, a ballroom dance floor, or a clock tower that plays into the midnight theme making that $80 price tag more reasonable.
Set Name - Cinderella's Castle & Horse Carriage
Set Number - 43275
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 596
Price - $79.99 / €TBC / £TBC
Release Date - 1st January 2025
