The reveal of LEGO sets marks a promising new building-block venture for the series, and one of the most exciting aspects is the ability to see characters come to life in minifigure form. Villagers and other NPCs have always been a major draw for the series, with a wide variety of cute characters featuring unique and memorable personalities to create charming and meaningful interactions across the games.

Tom Nook might be the most iconic character to appear in LEGO form, acting as a sort of mascot figure for the series.
