About LEGO Duplo

The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.
1979 LEGO Sets
1979 introduced Fabuland, bridging DUPLO and System with animal characters and story-led builds that ran for a decade. Classic Space expanded with new ships and lunar installations, and Castle gained momentum after its 1978 debut. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen became LEGO Group president, setting the stage for the brand’s global expansion in the 1980s.
