LEGO® DUPLO®Winnie the Pooh 5947 : Winnie's House

Product Information

Piglet does include shorter legs than his friends, reflecting their relative sizes. The mixture of differing pink shades is brilliant here, continuing across this minifigure and therefore matching the onscreen character. The specialised head also features splendid detail which corresponds with the source material, incorporating Piglet's prominent snout and ears.

Winnie the Pooh's house has remained remarkably consistent in appearance between varied illustrated, animated and live-action depictions. This design seems accordingly accurate while also including copious features which are identifiable with specific stories. The impressive tree stretches nearly 25cm in height and its base measures 21cm deep, although such dimensions do not reflect the magnificent detail that distinguishes this creation from others. Pooh's house extends beyond the base of the tree, occupying a beautifully rustic building. The contrast between these tan walls and the medium nougat tree looks splendid and the dark red shutters seem equally attractive. Additionally, flowers are ingeniously attached upside down in window boxes outside each window. These features do not appear onscreen but are welcome here, avoiding any bland surfaces.And on the subject of the bee's nests, they're portrayed as hives like this in Piglet's Big Movie, and in one scene of the 2011 movie... although I've read that the nests inside the tree, like you describe, are indeed a more realistic depiction. Still, though, this appearance of them isn't unprecedented in the Winnie the Pooh franchise

The internal arrangement of Winnie the Pooh's furniture changes quite regularly, allowing the designer welcome flexibility. Christopher Robin's renowned map of the Hundred Acre Wood is accordingly displayed on the wall, featuring multiple recognisable locations. Pooh's teapot and teacup are placed underneath, atop a wooden cabinet with satisfying texture.

However, light bluish grey elements do remain exposed where the leaves are attached. They certainly stand out among the consistent dark tan and medium shades which is disappointing, although these ball joints have always been restricted to certain colours. Hinges are available with broader colour variation and could perhaps have been used instead. These ball joints do provide firm connections though. Myriad innovative building techniques have been employed when designing trees, frequently including small flowers or leaves decorating larger foliage elements. This tree exhibits similar construction methods, albeit comprising bright green coral pieces in place of standard foliage. While the texture appears somewhat unusual, I think this effect looks fantastic! Moreover, the coral elements include numerous attachment points which remain vacant, allowing additional options for customisation. Autumnal colours adorn the roof, which consists of layered 1x1 slopes and 1x2 slopes. Their varying shades look outstanding together, interrupted by scattered leaves which appear quite realistic. I like the twisted chimney that protrudes from the roof as well, faithfully recreating the original location where this conspicuous structure invariably appears.
