The standard SpongeBob LEGO minifigure

LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants is a series of LEGO building sets based on the Nicktoon of the same name. The first three sets, The Krusty Krab, Build-A-Bob, and Adventures in Bikini Bottom, were released in 2006.

LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants was initially part of the same wave of LEGO sets as fellow Nicktoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first wave was not considered a separate theme from the Avatar sets; they were considered a single, two-part Nickelodeon-based theme simply titled "Nickelodeon." The idea of combining them in a two-part theme was for fans to choose which one was a better theme, and the SpongeBob SquarePants theme was chosen because of its popularity. Unlike most LEGO themes, this one includes a variety of interesting pieces, as the characters and sets are different from most other themes. Also, many variations are seen, most notably Squidward’s head, initially a standard minifigure head before being changed to a special head more closely resembling his actual head. Another notable variation is Gary’s shell, initially orange before being recolored pink.

After LEGO got the Disney franchise from Mega Bloks for 2010 and 2011, Mega Bloks announced that they had made a new deal with Nickelodeon. The SpongeBob theme was therefore retired in 2010. However, the deal with Disney, which spawned themes based on Disney-owned properties such as Toy Story, didn’t last long, and the LEGO SpongeBob theme was relaunched in 2011, after the Toy Story theme was discontinued.
