Good news for fans of Pixar's classic animation "WALL·E"! LEGO has officially unveiled the new Disney 43279 "WALL·E & EVE" set. This set not only recreates the appearance of the two main robot characters but also incorporates multiple detailed Easter eggs from the film, making it a collector's item designed for adult fans. This set will officially go on sale on the LEGO website on September 1, 2025, with a suggested retail price of €69.99 (approximately NT$2,500).
More Than Just Figures! Design Ingenuity Faithfully Recreating Movie Scenes!
This LEGO 43279 WALL·E & EVE set is a display-oriented set composed of 811 pieces, categorized as a high-end collectible for ages 18+. While it does not include traditional minifigures, it features four brick-built characters: the protagonist robot WALL·E, the flying robot EVE, the cleaning robot MO, and the cockroach Hal. All characters possess articulated joints; for instance, WALL·E and EVE's heads and arms can be adjusted, and MO's cleaning brush can even rotate, offering both display and interactive appeal.
WALL·E's main body features a track-based structure, faithfully replicating the character's classic movement style from the film. Most surprisingly, the LEGO team specially designed openable body parts that conceal two "hidden props": WALL·E's body contains compressed, cube-shaped waste, symbolizing his cleanup mission on Earth, while EVE's chest hides a "plant seedling" symbolizing Earth's hope for rebirth — a green sprout growing from a brown shoe!
Improved Design Pays Homage to the Classic LEGO Ideas Version
Compared to the LEGO Ideas 21303 WALL·E released in 2015, this new version shows significant improvements in proportion, detail, and stability. WALL·E's head design has been changed from the original hinge structure to a ball joint, which is not only more stable but also allows for more natural head movement. While the overall size has been reduced, the details are uncompromised, making it more suitable for display on a desk or bookshelf.
▼ The LEGO Ideas 21303 WALL·E, released in 2015, consisted of 676 bricks, forming a model approximately 13 cm high x 12 cm wide; this current version is more compact and refined, also approximately 13 cm high x 12 cm wide.
Furthermore, this design faithfully recreates the animation's settings, such as MO being displayable within the Axiom spaceship environment, and the cockroach Hal being able to perch on WALL·E's shoulder just like in the movie (the more detailed 21303 surprisingly did not include Hal), allowing fans to savor every thoughtful detail of the recreated scenes.
The LEGO Disney 43279 WALL·E & EVE is undoubtedly a dream item for every "WALL·E" fan. Whether for display as a collectible or as an interactive model to relive the animated story, this set balances both exquisite detail and emotional expression. From character structure and articulated details to story Easter eggs, everything is included, making it a must-have heavyweight release for Pixar fans, following Luxo Jr.!
