The LEGO Group has recently revealed two very different sets, but they share one thing in common: they’re both shaking things up.
In our latest video, Brick Fanatics' YouTube Editor Matthew takes a closer look at LEGO Icons 11386 SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom and LEGO Ideas 21372 La Catrina. Despite their obvious differences, both sets challenge expectations in their own way.
As Matthew explores, 21372 La Catrina celebrates Día de los Muertos with a level of care and respect that the holiday doesn't always receive, while LEGO Icons 11386 SpongeBob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom raises interesting questions about inclusivity and representation in LEGO design.
Blending backstory, social commentary and plenty of humour, the video explores what makes both of these upcoming releases stand out, and what we can hope for in the future.
