LEGO: Build Your Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons With These IDEAS Sets

Phineas and Ferb: Invention Collection

This set is packed with fun inventions from the hit series, plus Perry the Platypus, Ferb Fletcher, Phineas Flynn, Linda Flynn, Candace Flynn, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Buford Van Stomm, Baljeet, and Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz minifigs. It includes:

• Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror
• Whack-a-Mole/Pest (From Season 5)
• Treehouse Robot
• Rollercoaster
• Time Machine
• Gelatin Monster
• Flying Car
• Portal to Mars
• Inator
• Animal Translator

Pinky and the Brain

“Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Build LEGO sets!”

This set has a lot of interesting building techniques, and barely a peg is shown. It really captures Brain’s brooding expressions and Pinky’s derpy grin. Animaniacs is a personal favorite of mine (being an elder millennial), so these buildable figs got my vote. Creator Pacaktrix also has a Warner sibling trio set up for vote.

Regular Show: The Cart

Minifig Mordecai and Rigby are behind the wheel of this brick-built golf cart, which can be displayed on a stand that features the park fountain or on its own. The set has easter eggs from fan favorite episodes like the four baby ducks, the “I’m Eggscellent” hat, and “The Power.”

Mazinger Z

Since its debut in 1972, Mazinger Z has taken the world by storm, captivating audiences across multiple countries and influencing generations. It became a childhood hero for many boys — the embodiment of dreams! Mazinger Z was the first ever piloted mecha in history. Its original Japanese name is マジンガーZ (Mazinger Z), with “Mazinger” being a fusion of “Machine” and “God” — a robot possessing godlike, overwhelming power.

This 3,210-piece set focuses on the mech, which is fully articulated and has a missile pod with flames and lights. It can be displayed on its own or on a repair base where scientists repair the mech after battles.

SpongeBob SquarePants

Build the star of the show with this 1,221 piece set. Spongebob is 10.2 inches tall and comes with everything he needs for a shift at the Krusty Krab – his hat, a spatula, and aKrabby Patty. The set also includes alternate arm and hand configurations.

The design focuses on capturing SpongeBob’s unique proportions, expressive face, and iconic outfit in three-dimensional LEGO form. Translating his soft, uneven curves and slightly trapezoidal shape into bricks was a significant design challenge, but an essential part of making the character feel immediately recognizable. Every section of the build was carefully shaped to reflect his distinctive silhouette while remaining faithful to the LEGO system.

ThunderCats: Cat’s Lair

Go back to the ’80s with this buildable play set. It’s reminiscent of one that came out in 1986 and includes five minifigures. The paw of the lair can be lifted to store Panthro’s Thundertank. When you flip the lair around, you’ll find a control room, the sword of omens display room, the ThunderCats meeting table, and two bedrooms.

Disney’s TaleSpin

It only lasted a season, but the high-flying adventures of Baloo the Bear and Kit Cloudkicker became a mainstay in the Disney Channel line-up in the 1990s. This set has a lot of play features, including rotating propellers, opening cargo doors, and a cockpit with seats for the two minifigs. The seaplane comes with optional wheels so it can be rolled around easily, and the pier has movable stairs and ladders.

Rocko’s Modern Life

The black comedy animated sitcom about two roommates trying to survive in O-Town landed on Nickelodeon in the early ’90s (Adult Swim didn’t launch till 2001, and I guess it wasn’t weird enough for Liquid TV). It covered adult topics, but was goofy enough for kids to enjoy (I was one of those kids). Set creator RobitBuilds looks back on the series…

Rocko’s Modern Life is almost a survival guide for adulthood disguised as a cartoon. It taught me that life is messy, jobs are hard, neighbors are weird and sometimes the best you can do is sit on the couch with your friends and try to make sense of it all. Designing this model was a way of celebrating a show that not only holds up today, but has become even more relevant with time.

The set includes main characters Rocko, Heffer, Spunky, Filbert, and Mr. Bighead. It really captures the cartoon and brings back some memories for me, which is why it got my vote.
