Meet Gizmo: The LEGO® Set That’s Too Cute to Feed After Midnight

Meet Gizmo: The LEGO® Set That’s Too Cute to Feed After Midnight

If you grew up in the 80s, you probably remember the three golden rules of owning a Mogwai: don’t expose it to bright light, don’t get it wet, and whatever you do, don’t feed it after midnight. Well, LEGO® has just made it a whole lot harder to resist breaking those rules with their latest LEGO® Ideas set, 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo. This 1,125-piece build brings the fluffy, wide-eyed creature to life in brick form, and honestly, it’s almost as irresistible as the real thing.

A Build That’s Pure 80s Nostalgia

The LEGO® Gremlins: Gizmo set is a love letter to fans of the 1984 cult classic. Standing at 20cm (8 inches) tall, this poseable model captures Gizmo’s iconic look with surprising detail. The set includes fun accessories like 3D glasses and a splash of water, because, of course, you don’t want to get him wet. The facial features are spot-on, and the overall design is undeniably charming. You can display Gizmo standing or sitting, making it a versatile addition to any LEGO® collection.

This isn’t LEGO®’s first encounter with Gremlins, Gizmo previously appeared as a minifigure in the 2016 LEGO® Dimensions Team Pack. However, this time, the focus is entirely on the Mogwai himself, and the result is a display piece that’s sure to turn heads. The only downside? There’s no Gizmo minifigure included, which might leave some fans wishing for a little more.

Mark your calendars: October 1, 2025, is the day this adorable set hits shelves. You’ll be able to grab it from LEGO.com or your local LEGO® Store for €99.99.
