Disney’s recent release of the highly acclaimed sequel to *Moana* has sparked renewed enthusiasm among its fans, and for good reason. Lego has jumped on this wave of excitement, introducing a variety of new playsets that reflect the enchanting world of Moana. However, while the anticipation builds for these sets, there’s a mixed bag of availability that fans should note. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Lego collections inspired by *Moana 2*.
Lego has announced three new playsets based on the adventures in *Moana 2*. Unfortunately, these sets won’t be ready to unwrap this holiday season, as they are set to release after the Christmas celebrations. For eager fans hoping to find these exciting new toys under their trees, this news may come as a disappointment. The release date for these models is set for January 1, signaling a fresh start to the year filled with creative play.
While it’s not ideal to wait, there are still fantastic deals on existing Moana-themed sets this holiday season. Shoppers can leverage discounts on two already available playsets that capture the essence of Moana’s adventures.
If you need a gift for the Moana enthusiast in your life, you’re in luck. Target is currently offering a delightful 20% discount on *Moana’s Flowerpot*. This beautiful set appears to be part of the Lego Botanical Collection at first glance. However, once it’s opened, fans will find intricate details inside. The set comes with a Moana mini-doll and features Pua, the adorable pig Lego figure. With over 600 pieces, Moana’s Flowerpot towers over 8 inches tall and offers a satisfying build experience.
Additionally, Walmart has the *Wayfinding Boat*, a playset that has reportedly sold out at numerous retailers. This colorful set, which consists of 321 pieces, is now available for just $28—a sweet deal from its original price of $35. The set includes mini-dolls of Moana and her mother Sina, along with a cheerful dolphin figure. Once completed, the boat boasts a variety of accessories, making it perfect for imaginative play.
Among the new releases in January, *Moana’s Adventure Canoe* stands out as a significant upgrade to the original *Wayfinding Boat*. It includes 529 pieces and features not only Moana and Pua but also introduces two new characters, Loto and Moni. A key highlight of this set is the removable deck that opens up opportunities for storytelling and play. The canoe represents not only a boat but also a place of adventure, allowing children to recreate scenes from the film or invent their own.
On the other end of the spectrum, *Moana’s Island Fun* is the smallest playset in this collection, yet it offers unique charm. This 175-piece set comes with Lego micro-dolls of Moana and her little sister, Simea. It features two shelters, a fun waterfall slide, and a small sailboat—perfect for imagining island escapades.
For fans eager for even more collectibles, Lego is bringing an intriguing addition with a posable Heihei figure. Launching on March 1, this unique figure allows for various positions with movable head, wings, and tail feathers—a fascinating way for kids to engage with one of Moana’s beloved companions. At approximately 10.5 inches tall when on its display stand, this Heihei figure will not only serve as a toy but also as a stunning display piece.
The excitement continues beyond these Lego sets, as a beautiful 160-page hardcover art book detailing concept art from *Moana 2* is now available. This book serves as an excellent companion piece for Lego sets, inviting fans to dive deeper into the art and creativity behind the film. Priced at $35 (down from $45), it’s a worthy addition to any Disney fan’s collection.
While some eagerly awaited Lego sets will not make it for Christmas this year, there are still plenty of stunning options available for those who wish to celebrate the enchanting world of Moana. Whether it’s a playset or a comprehensively illustrated art book, fans have much to look forward to in the New Year.
