October 1st 2024 marks the release of three brand new LEGO themes: LEGO Fortnite, LEGO Wicked and, after today's official reveal, LEGO Wednesday. The popular Netflix show Wednesday will become a fully-fledged LEGO theme from the start of October 2024 with two licensed brick-built models under the set numbers 76780 and 76781.
Wednesday itself debuted on Netflix back in 2022 and since then has become the third most successful Netflix series of all time behind Squid Game and Stranger Things. The series is a spin-off of the original 1991 film The Addams Family, focusing on the daughter of the family who is unsurprisingly called Wednesday.
Wednesday herself is played by Jenna Ortega and will be appearing as a minidoll in one of the two sets rumoured to kick off this brand-new theme. In particular, this is the only Minifigure scale set of the wave of 76781 Wednesday & Enid's Dorm Room which retails for $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 with a total of 750 pieces included. Along with Wednesday Addams herself, Enid Sinclair is also included as an exclusive minidoll but both characters also have another version of themselves included in the October 2024 set.
As the name suggests, the set is a brick-built recreation of Wednesday's Bedroom which she shares with Enid at Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for monstrous outsiders. The iconic round window is the centrepiece of the model which, along with the rest of the bedroom, sits on a stand with removable draws where the extra minidolls can be placed. The dorm room also includes a cello, typewriter, mystery board, balcony with gargoyle and much more.
And the second set is another buildable characters model of 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure. The main character of the show is included in this brick-built customizable form for a total of $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 with 702 pieces included. The model comes with a posable head, arms and legs, plus two faces and two outfits so the figure can be rebuilt and customized as you wish. The set also includes her faithful sidekick Thing, a base with toy black dahlias and two hidden spaces to hold things such as her Rave'N Dance dress.
