Super Mario Lego minifigures are finally coming in 2027, years after the launch of Nintendo and Lego's first colalboration.
The short version
- Six years after revealing the first batch of Lego Super Mario sets , Nintendo and The Lego Group are finally giving fans what they want: Super Mario minifigures.
- Nintendo and Lego teased the first of those minis back in March, showing plumber-adventurer extraordinaire Mario emerging from a Warp Pipe in classic minifigure form, albeit with a head that's clearly not the standard cylindrical Lego cranium.
- The new line of Lego Super Mario minifigures is slated to debut in 2027, according to the teaser.
What happened
These minifigures open up a new world of options for Lego Super Mario. And if the leaks from the Bricktap Discord server are accurate, Mario will be joined by a minifigure of Luigi, a "BigFig" version of Bowser, and a minifigure Yoshi whose shell can be removed so that another minifig can ride on its back.
Why it matters
In recent years, Lego has released brick-based versions of Wario, Captain Toad, Bowser Jr., and Boo, with dozens of classic Super Mario enemies also molded in brick form.
