It’s been thirty-five years since Edward Scissorhands sliced his way into pop culture. Now, the misunderstood man with blades for fingers may soon be immortalized in plastic. The LEGO® Ideas project by Castor-Troy, a veteran 10K Club Member, just hit the golden number: 10,000 votes. That means it’s now officially in review at LEGO® HQ, with a decision expected around May-June 2026.
The project dives deep into Burton’s visual language, the gothic castle perched above a pastel suburb. Where Johnny Depp’s Edward trimmed hedges and hearts alike, fans can soon build the same contrasts in miniature.
The Castle That Built Emotion
For Castor-Troy, this wasn’t just about making a movie prop. It was about building a feeling. The sprawling 360° castle stands as the emotional core of the film and the set. Inside are intricate rooms: the Inventor’s lab, the garden of topiary creatures, and the icy corner where Edward sculpted his final heartbreak.
The set’s Edward Scissorhands has roughly 5,000 pieces bring that surreal tone to life, gray gothic walls meeting bubblegum roofs.
Burton in Miniature
In a poetic twist, the designer included a Tim Burton minifigure, a nod to the director’s shadow over his own creation. Two versions of Edward appear, one innocent, one darker. It’s the duality that Burton always played with: beauty and tragedy, scissors and softness.
It’s rare for LEGO® to approach this kind of emotional storytelling. While we’ve seen artistic tributes before, this one cuts deeper. Burton’s world isn’t pretty. It’s imperfect, and the details of this build show it.
Cutting Into LEGO® History
If approved, the Edward Scissorhands LEGO® set could become an ambitious project in the Ideas lineup. There’s something poetic about it all: a character who could never touch without hurting, now recreated in the most tactile medium there is. Plastic meets pathos. Creation meets isolation.
And maybe, if this set makes it through review, we’ll all get to build a little bit of Edward’s world, piece by fragile piece.
