Kool-Aid Man

Kool-Aid is a brand of flavored drink mix, typically in a powdered form, created by Edwin Perkins in 1927. The brand was sold to General Foods in 1953 and is currently owned by Kraft Heinz.

The Kool-Aid Man, a pitcher filled with Kool-Aid, has been the brand's mascot since the 1950's. He was known for randomly bursting through walls of children's homes, exclaiming his catchphrase "Oh Yeah!" while proceeding to make Kool-Aid for them.

The character was created by Marvin Potts in 1954. The Kool-Aid Man has become an international pop culture icon and a symbol of joy, energy, and refreshment.

Six months of effort has gone into faithfully replicating Kool-Aid Man's iconic shape with all the various details you'd expect. This nostalgic salute stands roughly 11 inches (28 cm) tall by 8 inches (20 cm) wide consisting of around 665 pieces. Everything is very stable and brick-built. The only exceptions are the proposed prints for the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Kool-Aid Man comes with 1 accessory, a small pitcher of Kool-Aid. What else would you expect? Choose whether to display him holding the pitcher in his iconic wall busting action pose or try something else. The possibilities are almost endless as this model is highly posable with 19 points of articulation including the fingers. It's worth highlighting the use of a turntable to rotate both legs simultaneously thus providing 360 degrees of lateral movement at the waist!

Appearing in commercials, cartoons, video games, internet memes, and even Marvel Comics, the Kool-Aid Man's enduring popularity is a reflection of his ability to connect with audiences of all ages. Whether bursting through walls or simply brining a smile to people's faces, Kool-Aid Man continues to be a beloved character reminding us all to embrace the fun and refreshing moments in life.

Let's help Kool-Aid Man gear up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kool-Aid by bursting into the world of Lego with this fun and challenging build. Are you with me? Oh yeah!
