The LEGO Wednesday Morticia’s Cottage (76786) is a building toy for kids ages 10 and up, letting them recreate scenes and adventures with favorite characters from the popular TV series. Inside the mysterious six-room cottage, children can explore a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with a removable fireplace wall, a bedroom, a séance room, and a bathroom that includes sword accessories for pretend duels. The set comes with four LEGO Wednesday minidolls—Wednesday, Morticia, Bianca Barclay, and Lurch—so fans can investigate the cottage, solve mysteries, or take a ride in the buildable family car to continue their detective adventures around the Nevermore Academy campus. For creative play, kids can open up the cottage and use the included accessories for spooky storytelling, or close it to display as unique room decor. This 1,002-piece set makes a thoughtful birthday or special-occasion gift for fans of the show who enjoy building challenges and imaginative play. When closed, the cottage measures over 8 inches (21 cm) high, 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide, and 4.5 inches (12 cm) deep.
