This is too cute to pass! Toy company LEGO and video game top dog Nintendo are teaming up to create Animal Crossing sets.

LEGO on Oct. 5 shared a teaser video on Facebook showing beloved characters Rosie, Bunnie, Marshal, Kappa, Fauna, Julian, Isabelle, and Tom Nook. The company logos then flash side by side.

"Welcome to…LEGO Animal Crossing!" the caption of the post read.

The iconic Animal Crossing trees and the geometric grass pattern can also be seen in the trailer, suggesting that they will appear in at least one of the kits.

The page also replied to a commenter, "Coming to you on a balloon… soon," referring to the presents in the video game.

LEGO has not yet announced the release date or price, but leaks suggested it would be coming out in March 2024 and would have at least five sets ranging between $14.99 (P849.20) and $74.99 (P4,248.20).

Aside from Animal Crossing, LOGO has also released a line of Nintendo's bestselling game Super Mario Bros in 2020.

Animal Crossing was first released in 2001. It gained popularity anew with Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch in 2020.
