This summer, the LEGO Group has adopted an unusual strategy in the Disney series and launched two brick building sets of The Lion King Simba at the same time: 43243 Little Lion King Simba and 43247 The Lion King Simba. Spanish online retailer fnac has released the first official pictures of LEGO Disney series 43247 The Lion King Simba. This set is designed for adults over 18 years old and is released on the same day as the smaller and more affordable 43243 Little Lion King Simba. 43247 The Lion King Simba is scheduled to go on sale in Europe on June 1st, priced at 129.99 euros, equivalent to 114.99 pounds in the UK or 129.99 dollars in the US. Set number: 43247. Set name: The Lion King Simba. Minifigure quantity: 0. Part quantity: 1445. Suggested retail price: 129.99 dollars/129.99 euros. Recommended age: Over 18 years old. Release date: June 1st, 2024. This black box set contains a total of 1445 parts, 1223 more parts than 43243 Little Lion King Simba. The head of the model is hinged so that the head can move, but from the currently released pictures, the chin seems to be fixed and only maintains an open posture. These pictures also show two Simba models of different sizes and proportions placed side by side, highlighting the differences between them. Considering that this set will be officially on shelves in two weeks, we won’t have to wait too long to see its official release.
