LEGO® Puppet Set

Description

Building for puppet play

A hand puppet set joins building with role play: you assemble the characters and then act out little scenes with them. That is a different kind of building experience from vehicles or houses. No minifigures are included, because the puppets themselves are the model. At 92 pieces the set is small, and exactly how the characters look depends on how you put the bricks together. That makes every copy a little different, which is exactly the appeal of such sets for children and collectors alike.

White, red, black and yellow

The four main colours are remarkably well suited to faces and clothing. White supplies the large surfaces, red and yellow add splashes of colour and black takes care of the details. Only 15 different part types are in the set, so the parts list is short and quick to scan. Because the choice is so small, the possibilities become clear: a few shapes make very different figures if you combine them creatively. If you want more choice, simply mix in bricks from your own collection.

A piece of collecting history

The Samsonite label points to the time when LEGO® bricks were distributed in some countries through a licensing partner. Sets from that line are fairly rare today and collectors often hunt them as curiosities. This one fits the pattern, since it stands apart from the usual boxes and shows how many different ideas were tried in 1969, before the modern range took shape. Such a set is less a kit than a historical document that you can handle and change as you like.

Parts and next builds

This page lists all 15 part types with their quantities, so you can see what a rebuild would lack. The “What can I build?” tool also checks which other sets your bricks could form. White, red and yellow basics are wanted in almost every collection, whether for houses, vehicles or characters of your own, which keeps even this small set a useful source of bricks. If you build economically, the white bricks in particular find plenty of use, for walls or vehicle bodies.
