Following up on the in-depth look at the LEGO Scooby-Doo Haunted Lighthouse 75903 set from yesterday, today I’m going to take a look at another one of Summer 2015 Scooby-Doo sets that I previously only took a cursory glance at. While it’s the second-smallest set in the theme, it’s still pretty packed with fun and wackiness: it’s the LEGO Scooby-Doo Mystery Plane Adventures 75901 set!

I had assume that everyone was satisfied with the brief articles that I wrote when each of the Scooby-Doo summer sets was revealed, but readers have told me that they want more photos and commentary on each of the sets, so who am I to disagree?

75901 Mystery Plane Adventures was one of the two sets that we got our first look at when low-res photos leaked out from some of the European Winter Toy Fairs earlier this year. At a glance it didn’t look all that special–but seeing it in person and taking hi-res photos of the set, it’s really pretty cool for a $19.99 set!

Unlike some of the Scooby-Doo LEGO sets, Mystery Plane Adventures 75901 really is directly based off of a classic 1976 Scooby-Doo cartoon: “The Headless Horsemen of Halloween”. Now, some liberties have been taken with the colors/design for this set, but by and large it’s pretty clear that the inspiration for Mystery Plane Adventures is an actual episode from the first season of “The Scooby-Doo Show”. Thumbs up.

The set includes four figures: a Shaggy Rogers minifigure, an exclusive Scooby-Doo figure wearing flight goggles, a white horse figure and a LEGO Headless Horseman minifigure. The goggles Scooby-Doo figure is a minor variant that I don’t know if everyone is going to feel is necessary for their collections, nor is every collector going to feel that they need another generic Shaggy minifig.

However, what I think might be a must-have for many collectors is the Headless Horseman minifigure. This figure is wonderfully authentic to the Headless Horseman’s design from the “The Scooby-Doo Show”, with an accurate purple cape, blue torso and white horse. This very well may be the single coolest “monster” figure being released in the entire LEGO Scooby-Doo theme.

Of course, there’s also a “plane” included with Mystery Plane Adventures, and that’s not quite as episode-accurate. In the actual Scooby-Doo “The Headless Horseman of Halloween” episode, the plane Scooby and Shaggy end up in is almost totally white.

I think we can all agree, though, that an almost entirely white plane is a bit, well… plain. As such, LEGO opted to color the plane in the crazy neon green, teal and orange colors of the Mystery Machine. Some people will hate the inauthentic look of this plane, but I think the bizarre color scheme works fantastic. I love it. The plane also features a chain for Shaggy to hang off of for a fun action feature.

Like the rest of the sets in the Scooby Doo theme, we don’t have an official piece count for 75901 Mystery Plane Adventures yet. That said, we do know that the set will carry a $19.99 retail price in stores, which seems like a spot-on price-point for a set with four figures (including a horse!) and a decently-sized plane vehicle.

The 75901 LEGO Mystery Plane Adventures set is part of 2015 Scooby-Doo summer sets wave, which will be officially released in August 2015 (and unofficially released in select stores in mid-July 2015). With its low price and reasonably accurate representation of a vintage Scooby Doo episode, this set is on my (exceedingly large) summer “buy” list.

What are your thoughts on the Scooby-Doo Mystery Plane Adventures set, Scooby lovers? Is this classic-based set one that you’re interested in, or does the lack of a playset and unique “hero” minifigures deter you from picking up this set?
