Lego Scooby-Doo (stylized as LEGO Scooby-Doo!) was a Lego theme based on the Scooby-Doo franchise created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. It is licensed from Warner Bros. Animation and Hanna-Barbera. [2] The theme was first introduced in August 2015. [3] The toy line was accompanied by several shorts, a television special and films based on Lego Scooby-Doo. The Lego Scooby-Doo theme was discontinued by the end of 2017.
Lego Scooby-Doo was based on the Scooby-Doo franchise. The product line focuses on Scooby-Doo and the four teenage members of Mystery, Inc. — Fred Jones, Shaggy Rogers, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley — arriving at a location in the Mystery Machine, a van painted with psychedelic colors and flower power imagery. Encountering a ghost, monster, or other ostensibly supernatural creature terrorizing the local populace, they decide to investigate. The kids split up to look for clues and suspects while being chased at turns by the monster. Eventually, the kids come to realize the ghost and other paranormal activity is actually an elaborate hoax, and—often with the help of a Rube Goldberg-like trap designed by Fred—they capture the villain and unmask him. Revealed as a flesh and blood crook trying to cover up crimes by using the ghost story and costume, the criminal is arrested and taken to jail, often with the catchphrase "if it weren't for those pesky kids". Lego Scooby-Doo aimed to recreate the main characters in Lego form, including Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma. [3] [4] [5]
Lego Scooby-Doo was another license acquisition following other Lego product lines such as Lego Star Wars, Lego Super Heroes and Lego Ghostbusters. The theme aimed to bring the animated franchise to life in Lego form. Jill Wilfert, Vice President for global licensing and entertainment stated that the Scooby-Doo franchise had "global reach, great characters and stories and inherent building and role play opportunities". The deal with Warner Bros. Animation aimed to appeal to collectors and parents with strong childhood nostalgia. The deal included a toy line and a 22-minute animated special. [6]
In 2015, Lego Scooby-Doo theme was launched at the British Toy and Hobby Association Toy Fair in August 2015. [7] [8] As part of the marketing campaign, The Lego Group released five toy sets based on the Scooby-Doo franchise. Each set featured different haunted buildings and vehicles.
