LEGO Wednesday 2026: Wednesday Addams Minifigure Finally Arrives!
LEGO Unveils Two Spooky New Wednesday Sets for October 2026 — Including the First-Ever Wednesday Minifigure!
Big News for Wednesday Fans
LEGO just announced two brand-new Wednesday Addams sets hitting shelves on October 1, 2026 — just in time for Halloween!
If you love the Netflix show starring Jenna Ortega, this is exciting news. Season 3 is currently filming, but these sets give fans something to build and play with while waiting for new episodes.
Mark Your Calendar: Both sets release October 1, 2026 — perfect for Halloween season!
Set #1: 76788 Nevermore Academy (890 Pieces)
This is the main event — a detailed model of Wednesday’s spooky school!
What Makes It Special
- First-ever Wednesday Addams minifigure!
- Previous Wednesday sets used minidolls (taller, more detailed figures)
- This is the first time Wednesday gets a classic LEGO minifigure (the standard blocky style)
- 890 pieces — a satisfying build for ages 9+
- Microfigures included — tiny versions of other characters
- Opens up to reveal detailed rooms inside
- Back of the building is fully detailed too

Minifigure vs. Minidoll — What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Minifigure (Classic) | Minidoll (Newer Style) |
|---|---|---|
| Height | ~4 cm (standard) | ~5 cm (taller) |
| Shape | Blocky, cylindrical head | More realistic proportions |
| Articulation | Arms rotate, legs move | More joints, flexible wrists |
| Style | Classic LEGO look | More detailed, "doll-like" |
Why It Matters: Collectors love minifigures because they fit with all other LEGO themes (Star Wars, Harry Potter, City, etc.). Now Wednesday can hang out with Batman or Harry Potter!
