Review: LEGO 853990 Easter Bunny House

Today we are very quickly interested in the small LEGO Seasonal set 853990 Easter Bunny House which was thought to be a promotional product but which will eventually be sold on the manufacturer's official online store at the retail price of ... € 7.99.

No need to draw you a drawing, this box of 57 pieces is a seasonal product on the theme of the Easter holidays, with its packaging in the shape of a colored egg dressed with a label to personalize which contains what to assemble a young girl disguised as rabbit, a micro-henhouse with a hen, a scooter and some vegetation.

The goal of the product is simple: you hide the set in the garden and the children will have to locate it. As with Kinder eggs. Except that these allow you to get chocolate AND a mini-toy, for much less per unit. To compensate and not risk disappointing the most greedy, nothing prevents you from adding a treat in the resealable packaging of the set to accompany the parts provided.

There is nothing very exciting about the micro-henhouse, apart from maybe the egg hidden in the lower part of the building accessible by opening the white hatch.

LEGO scooter enthusiasts can get a new copy of the version here Medium Azure of the machine already seen in the sets 10264 Corner Garage (2019) 41379 Heartlake City Restaurant (2019) et 41389 Ice Cream Cart (2020). Note that the scooter crutch is not a bucket handle, it is a handlebar. The more observant will have noticed that the headlight of the scooter consists of a fried egg and this wink is appreciable.

The hen provided is the white version last seen in 2017 in the small seasonal set 40237 Easter Egg Hunt. LEGO does not provide any "real" eggs in this small box and is content to deliver a few white bulbs to plug into the gray plate in addition to the copy to hide under the henhouse. Pity.

Finally, the minifigure is rather pretty with its torso which echoes that of the character seen in the promotional mini set 5005249 Easter bunny offered at LEGO in 2018 then at Toys R Us or King Jouet. We will remember the small details that make all the charm of the character with the pad-printed tail on the back or the teeth slightly apart and the make-up of circumstance on the face.

In summary, we get here a young girl disguised as a rabbit who is holding a carrot and who is about to leave to deliver eggs laid by a decidedly very productive hen on her scooter. Why not, even if I find that 8 € for this type of product is still a bit expensive.

The set will be available at this address on the LEGO Shop from February 1st.

Note: The set presented here, supplied by LEGO, is as usual in play. Deadline fixed at 10th February 2020 next at 23pm.
