Super Mario Bros. Lego Piranha Plant set to launch in November
Get ready to level up your LEGO collection! 🎮 The Super Mario Bros. Lego Piranha Plant set is set to launch in November! 🌿 Get your green thumbs ready for some block-building fun!
LEGO is adding yet another Super Mario Bros. set to its collection with a figure that we all recognize. The LEGO Super Mario Bros. Piranha Plant set won’t consume our bodies but it will consume our time and energy in the best way.
The toothy carnivorous plant is famous for trying to snack on Mario throughout the Nintendo video game franchise’s history.
The plastic plant puts out some serious Little Shop of Horrors vibes. It sits in a green pipe with two outstretched leaves. The pointy teeth look like they could down Mario in a single bite. There’s a little pink tongue tucked away inside the mouth. Lego Super Mario senior designer Carl Merriam said the set captures the classic enemy’s “menacing essence.”
The kit consists of 540 pieces. The 9-inch build starts at the bottom to replicate the sensation of the plant emerging from the green pipe, much like it does in the game. Put it all together and you get more than just a Lego statue. The plant is posable, with a moveable head, mouth, stalk, and leaves.
Lego already has an extensive lineup of Mario sets for both kids and adults. The 18-plus sets include a posable Mighty Bowser and an old-school Nintendo Entertainment System complete with a tube TV. Those complex sets are considerably larger and more expensive than the Piranha Plant, which comes in at an affordable $60.
The Super Mario Piranha Plant will be available on Nov. 6 in Lego stores, online and through Lego retailers.
