Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, October 23) – Filipino commercial director Ivan Guerrero ventured into design because of his love for the American educational cartoon series Sesame Street, which he never knew would change his life.
Guerrero shared with CNN Philippines that he is the lead designer for the Sesame Street Lego 123 game, which will be released on November 1.
Sesame Street Lego 123 set features a nostalgic look at the popular children’s show, with banners next to Big Bird’s nest and Ernie and Bert’s apartment. Other famous characters like Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster and Elmo are also part of the set.
The creation of the Warrior Lego set garnered around 10,000 fan votes on the Lego Review platform for it to be chosen as the one to be sold in certified Lego stores.
“It took me a couple of months to do the set because I actually did a lot of research on how to build the building and I referenced various episodes, classic episodes, that people grew up with over the years,” Guerrero told CNN’s Rico Hizon Philippines on Thursday. .
For a more nostalgic feeling on the Lego set, Guerrero also included some “easter eggs” and resurrected old characters like Mr. Snuffleupagus, Mr. Hooper, and Guy Smiley.
“It’s like owning a part of your childhood, you know, in physical form,” he said.
The project was personal for Guerrero because of his admiration for Sesame Street, a show that he faithfully followed during his childhood.
“Sesame Street has always been one of my favorite shows,” he said. “I think for a lot of creative people, they really started, you know, through ideas and learning through Sesame Street.”
Guerrero also revealed that the first 100 people who will order the 123 Sesame Street design from certified Lego stores on November 1 will have their signature attached.
