Although in one medium, Lego continues to find new windows for its cheerful, blocky nature to bridge over to video games. The most popular currently being the recent arrival of Lego Fortnite in December. Now, users can explore an open landscape ready to be paved with Lego bricks and their own creativity. Even more, new Lego sets continue to come through official collaborations.
In a recent development from Lego & Nintendo, it was teased a new line of Animal Crossing sets and minifigures are on the way. So far, a date has yet to be shared when to anticipate the new line of sets. Additionally, vocal fans via Lego Ideas do petition Lego sets for other beloved titles as well. Amid the initial hype for Untitled Goose Game, the House House title did see a submission on the Lego Ideas forum, but was not approved.
Now in a similar fashion, The Secret of Monkey Island is now the newest example of eager fans attempting to realize their beloved video game. After the launch of Return to Monkey Island in 2022 and the IP celebrating 35 years in 2024, it makes sense for fans to find ways to commemorate the series in some form.
“The colorful, quirky, tricky and puzzle-filled adventures of Guybrush Threepwood make a perfect candidate for a LEGO version, and what would be a better theme than one of the most iconic locations (and puzzles!) in “The Secret Of Monkey Island”? This model even features a working mechanism: the “key” to the Giant Monkey Head can actually fit inside the ear to open the mouth… the entrance to LeChuck’s secret cove!” the description reads.
“After almost 35 years since the release of its first installment, Monkey Island by LucasArts is still one of the most beloved and cherished sagas in the history of videogames. […] The Giant Monkey Head is both a classic adventure game enigma and a central plot point in the first great adventure of our wanna-be mighty pirate, and I really hope I can turn this project into the second… ehm, third biggest monkey head you all have ever seen!”
