El Chavo del Ocho (Chaves) is a very famous Mexican television series not only in its country of origin and one country where this series from the 70s was very successful was Brazil, where I am from.
This Lego set is intended to remember this series and pay homage to it and I'm sure that many are nostalgic for it so it's an ideal set for adults who, like me, love El Chavo.

We also can't forget the mini figures, there are many objects related to each person. I placed some related objects near each one, but we have many others. They all have two faces and can be used to create different situations. The characters in order from left to right, from top to bottom, are:
Don Román (Seu Madroga) - Doña Florinda (Dona Florinda) -
Señor Barriga (Senhor Barriga) - Doña Clotilde (Dona Clotilde) -Doña Nieves (Dona Neves) - Profesor Jirafales (Professor Girafales) - El Chavo del Ocho (Chaves/Chaves do Oito) - La Chilindrina (Chiquinha) - Quico - Ñoño (Nhonho)
In addition to them, other characters were planned but cannot be placed here due to restrictions in Lego rules, they would be: El Doctor Chapatín (Dr. Chapatin), Bruja del 71 (Witch of 71), Jaimito, el cartero (Jaiminho, the Postman), Popis (Pópis) and Godínez (Godinez)

Don Román (Seu Madruga) has an angry face. Señor Barriga (Senhor Barriga) has a bruised face and that's why he wears a football helmet. Doña Clotilde (Doña Clotilde) is the only one who doesn't have two faces because she has two bodies, one with her normal clothes and the other as Bruja del 71 (Witch of 71). Professor Jirafales (Professor Girafales) has elongated legs to differentiate him from the other minifigures, and is even the tallest minifigure so far, he also has a loving face that matches that of Doña Florinda (Doña Florinda), all the children have shorter legs, even if they play adult characters, so his childlike representation is smaller than his representation playing an adult.

Many references to episodes were placed here, and with them many mechanisms were also created, starting with Señor Barriga's (Mr. Barriga) Brasilia car, which is fully functional with a removable roof and space for two minifigures, in addition to having a compartment to store unused accessories, such as Ñoño's ping-pong table, the sign in the bathroom of Dona Florinda's restaurant that can be changed to a men's or women's bathroom, the sofa also has a seesaw that is to simulate the joke of when a heavy person sits on the sofa the other person who is already sitting jumps, Dona Clotilde/Bruja del 71 house has a cauldron with a piece that emits light and the pieces in front of it are transparent, thus allowing the fire to appear lit. It also has a system to lock the button pressed so that you don't have to keep holding it to keep it lit, the Mirror in Don Ramón's (Seu Madruga) house is a minifigure head that can be rotated to change its face; on one side we have his face, and on the other side we have a skull.

Regarding references to the episodes, we have the ham sandwich in the restaurant, the toy that prevented Mr. Barriga's car from starting, the iron in El Chavo's barrel, Chirimoya's little sapling, the slingshot and the gecko, the Tangamandápio map in Jaimito's house, el cartero (Jaiminho, the Postman), the drawings on the table in Dona Florinda's house and her washing machine, the flying saucer near the window of Don Ramón's house (Seu Madruga). Inside it, we have her perfume, as well as a letter from Chiquinha, followed by the silver cleaner that gave us the trip to Acapulco. In addition, the girl's room is full of thermometers. In the second courtyard, we have a comic book of El Chapulín Colorado (Chapolin), hidden behind the stairs, Quico's square ball and many others. I gave one example, but there are many hidden things, so be sure to look for other references that I included by looking at the photos. 😉

Finally, I want to say that I would be very happy if this Lego Idea was approved, this set idea was made with a lot of love and I thank you for your vote and ask that you share this idea And Sigam-me os bons.
