This year, Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby will finally be realized in LEGO form.
Slated for an August release, all five characters will have their own dedicated minifigures and a Mystery Machine van. Five playsets including a mummy museum and a haunted lighthouse will also be available.
In addition to the LEGO figures and playsets, Warner Bros. has also announced that Warner Bros. Animation is working on a 22-minute animated LEGO special featuring the Scooby-Doo characters. Made-for-video titles are also said to be coming in the next few years.
This deal between the entertainment and toy companies is likely behind a push to bring Scooby-Doo back by way of new live-action and animated movies. Having LEGO sets on hand featuring the characters could potentially help raise brand awareness and re-introduce Scooby into popular culture once again.
