Legohas teamed up with just about every major IP over the past 25 years or so. FromThe Lord of the RingstoSonic the Hedgehog, if it’s big enough to have a Lego set that will sell, then it probably already has a Lego set. However, if Lego has a list of major IPs that it’s still trying to team up with, it can now crossGodzilla’s name off of it.
Lego confirmed it is making its first-ever Godzilla setvia a new blog postdetailing which submissions from Lego Ideas have not only reached the support cut-off to be officially considered, but have jumped a step beyond that and will become fully-fledged Lego sets. The Godzilla set that has forced a team-up between Lego and the King of Monsters is one submitted by Matthew Esposito.
For a set to be officially considered for mass production by Lego, submissions, which are shared via Lego Ideas, need to reach 10,000 supporters within a certain timeframe. If that threshold is reached, then the set goes to Lego for consideration. If the good people at Lego like what they see, then that set, or a version of it, will become an official Lego set that people can buy and build.
Lego Godzilla Is Real
But He Can’t Hurt You
It wasa Lego Ideas submission that kicked off Lego’s Sonic collection, andthe refusal to accept more The Legend of Zelda submissionswas one of the first indicators thatNintendoplanned on expanding its Lego offerings beyond Mario.
As noted by Esposito ontheir Lego Ideas Godzilla page, this is the second time they submitted the set after it didn’t receive enough support the first time around. No such problem this time, as the set hit 10,000 supporters in October of last year. That meant it qualified for the first Lego Ideas review period of 2025, and five months later, Lego has confirmed it likes the set enough to turn it into the real thing.
The set that Lego turns Esposito’s Godzilla into won’t be exactly like the one you can see above, but it will look pretty similar. The fan creation is based on Godzilla’s more modern look in movies like Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong. It also has a bright blue streak you can attach to the Lego Godzilla’s mouth, which I’m hoping is an accessory that Lego decides to keep when making the real thing.
