Brick Before Midnight: LEGO Debuts Gremlins’ Gizmo Set

He’s fuzzy, he’s adorable, and thanks to LEGO Ideas, he’s ready to invade your display shelf. The new LEGO Gremlins: Gizmo set captures the pint-sized star of Joe Dante’s 1984 classic in brick-built form, packing 1,125 pieces of pure ’80s magic into one collectible kit for builders ages 18 and up.

Fans can pose Gizmo sitting or standing, then tweak the look with movable ears, arms, hands, and feet. Authentic extras include a water splash element — a nod to the chaos that follows when Mogwai get wet — and a pair of brick-built 3D glasses, just like the ones Gizmo rocked while flipping through comics.

Once complete, this mischievous Mogwai makes a killer piece of desk or shelf decor, delivering just the right hit of nostalgia without the risk of multiplying.

Just remember the rules: no water, no bright light … and definitely no snacks after midnight.

If you don’t follow the rules, don’t say your pals at The Pop Insider didn’t warn ya!

This one is up for preorder now (available Oct. 1) as the first drop in Target’ ‘s fifth anniversary Geek Out.
