Lego Snoopy is perfect, and I dare you to say it isn't

I don't care what any of you say, because the first Lego Snoopy set is perfect.

Actually, I'm happy to make that official right now. The new kit – which is 964 pieces of unadulterated cuteness – features the hound himself alongside his bird buddy Woodstock, a few accessories, and his signature dog house. Lego Snoopy isn't a one-size-fits-all kinda model, either. Like many of the best Lego sets, you can pose it in a variety of ways, including Snoopy's iconic pose lying back and contemplating the void. (I can relate.)

This kit isn't quite as simple as it first appears, either. Alongside the items you might expect (Snoopy's typewriter and a little campfire with teeny marshmallows to roast over it), the doghouse can unfold to display a starry night sky. It's a really neat addition that isn't strictly necessary, but certainly helps when you're paying $90-odd for a model.

As an 'Ideas' kit, Lego Snoopy was designed by a fan and voted for by both the community and Lego itself – one hell of a vote of confidence, in other words. That means we're unlikely to get more Peanuts kits in the near future, but this is good enough to make up for it, so I'm not complaining.
