- Project Description:
Fabuland was a LEGO theme introduced in 1979, designed to bridge the gap between the DUPLO line for younger children and the standard LEGO System sets. Aimed at children aged 3 to 7, Fabuland featured anthropomorphic animal characters living in a vibrant, story-rich environment.
Main Features:
- Character Diversity: Fabuland introduced a range of characters, including Edward Elephant, Bonnie Bunny, Max Mouse, Mike Monkey, and Paulette Poodle, each with unique professions and stories.
- Storytelling Integration: Building instructions for Fabuland sets often included short stories, enhancing the play experience with narratives that featured the characters engaging in various activities.
- Product Range: Beyond building sets, Fabuland expanded into books, clothing, and even a claymation children's television show titled "Edward and Friends," which aired in the UK and Canada during the 1980s.
Recent Developments:
In March 2025, LEGO House in Billund, Denmark, released the "LEGO Fabuland Tribute" set (40506), honoring the legacy of the Fabuland theme. This exclusive set features characters like Edward Elephant, Joe Crow, Dr. Lucy Lamb, and Clive Crocodile, reimagined with modern LEGO design principles. The set includes 1,026 pieces and is accompanied by storybook-style instructions, reviving the storytelling aspect of the original series. It is available exclusively at the LEGO House retail store in Billund.
