LEGO Animal Crossing Finally adds Iconic Musician K.K. Slider to the Series (2024)

Last year, LEGO announced the first-ever sets in collaboration with Animal Crossing and fans of comfy games were more than excited to build the island of their dreams in real life. The first LEGO Animal Crossing sets featured a plethora of iconic characters and locations from New Horizons, like Isabelle, Kapp'n, and the most-visited shop on the island, Nook's Cranny— plus a ton of fan-favorite villagers were added to the lineup, too.

Despite the decent variety seen in the first lineup of sets, LEGO Animal Crossing still has some notable characters missing; especially characters like K.K. Slider, Blathers, Flick, and the Dodo brothers. But, the latest LEGO Animal Crossing sets help close the gap by adding even more minifigures and recognizable locations to the growing collection by LEGO, resulting in even more sets that collectors and fans of the series won't want to skip out on.

Concert at the Plaza: LEGO Animal Crossing's Biggest Set Yet

Before the latest drop, the largest set to hit the shelves was , totaling about 535 pieces. With a $5 difference in price, K.K. Slider's Concert at the Plaza comes in at 550 pieces, resulting in LEGO Animal Crossing's biggest and most detailed set to date.

Complete with iconic characters and in-game locations, the Concert at the Plaza set comes with a small café perfect for villagers with a sweet tooth, K.K.'s traveling caravan, an autumnal tree, and the iconic ACNH bulletin board with a bird perched on top to help create a vibrant scene inspired by New Horizons.

Aside from Isabelle and K.K. himself, one of the most recognizable things in this set is the LEGO recreation of the Residential Services building, which the player frequents in New Horizons. Although the building itself is not entirely to scale with what's seen in-game, it does have an interior decorated with recognizable items like the Nook Stop kiosk and the town's recycle box.

This LEGO set also adds three new minifigures to the lineup, including the iconic musician K.K. Slider, Isabelle dressed in a cozy outfit befitting the change in weather, and the peppy fox-inspired villager, Audie.

Fly with Dodo Airlines: Adventure and Details Abound

The Dodo Airlines airport is one of the most iconic locations in the game, stationed at the bottom entrance of every single player's island. Great for kids and collectors alike, the Fly with Dodo Airlines set includes Wilbur's iconic seaplane, the airport, dock, and a small beach where a crab lives.

Much like the Concert at the Plaza set, the interiors of the airport are much smaller compared to what can be seen in the game. Regardless, the amount of details LEGO has fit into this small space is extremely impressive. From the potted plants to the map and iconic orange gate, this set feels surprisingly full of life. Plus, you can customize the town's flag outside the airport, just like you can in-game.

The Fly with Dodo Airlines LEGO set comes with two new minifigures; Tangy the tangerine-inspired cat villager, and Wilbur the dodo bird pilot.

Price & Availability

Both the Concert at the Plaza and Fly with Dodo Airlines sets are available for purchase at most major retailers. You can find K.K.'s Concert at the Plaza for $80 on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

Likewise, you can find the Fly with Dodo Airlines set for $38 on Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
