LEGO fans, get ready! Another adorable BrickHeadz character is rumored to join the lineup in January 2025: Mei the Red Panda from Disney Pixar's Turning Red. This delightful set, expected to retail at $9.99, brings Mei’s transformation into her iconic red panda form to life.
The movie, released in 2022, follows the story of 13-year-old Mei Lee, who finds herself turning into a giant red panda whenever her emotions become overwhelming. It's a unique twist on a coming-of-age story, and now fans can capture Mei’s panda alter ego in brick form.
A Charming Design to Capture Mei’s Personality
The Mei the Red Panda set (set number 40798) is sure to showcase her animated features with bright red and white colors. LEGO's design is expected to capture her distinctive look, complete with her round, expressive eyes, cat-like ears, and her striped red and white tail.
The set promises to embody Mei’s playful and quirky personality that fans fell in love with in Turning Red. Like other BrickHeadz sets, Mei will be mounted on a black display base, making her a perfect collectible for any LEGO fan or Turning Red enthusiast.
