With the LEGO Disney Castle 71040 comes five minifigures: Donald and Daisy Duck, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and the latest Disney character to be added to LEGO’s Disney Collectible Minifigures 71012, Tinker Bell. Except for Donald Duck, the rest of these minifigures sport a different costume. For example, Daisy’s attire is quite different now as compared from her first minifigure debut in set 71012. Another one is the pair of Minnie and Mickey, where both of them have a new outfit to flaunt.
This is one set that we will surely watch out for in September! So what do you think of the LEGO Disney Castle? Share your thoughts at the comments section below, or visit our Facebook page to join in the discussion.
