The LEGO Group has just unveiled a brand new brick-built Piranha Plant as part of the expanding LEGO Super Mario collection for Adults, in collaboration with Nintendo. This exciting LEGO Mario set offers a playful recreation of the iconic plant found in the Super Mario video games.
Constructed using more than 500 pieces, the LEGO® Super Mario™ Piranha Plant is a highly detailed and poseable set. Both LEGO and Super Mario enthusiasts will have the ability to manipulate the head, mouth, stalk, and leaves, allowing for the creation of unique and dynamic poses. Furthermore, the building process of this set encourages a “bottom-up” approach, resulting in the Piranha Plant emerging from the pipe as if it were growing organically.
Carl Merriam, Senior Designer, LEGO Super Mario, commented: “When designing the Piranha Plant, it felt important to capture its distinctive features and ensure that the set could be positioned in a way that reflects its iconic poses. I’m so proud of the finished result, from the mouth to the leaves and stalk, we’ve managed to perfectly portray the menacing essence of the Piranha Plant!”
The LEGO® Super Mario™ Piranha Plant is an exciting gift option for Nintendo enthusiasts or a delightful self-indulgence. It serves as a great focal point for both home and office spaces. Within the Adult line, various Super Mario-themed building kits are available, including The Mighty Bowser™, all crafted to kindle nostalgia among LEGO aficionados who cherish Mario as a significant part of their childhood.
The new LEGO® Super Mario™ Piranha Plant will be available from November 6, 2023, via LEGO stores, lego.com and from select leading retailers around the world. For more information, please visit www.lego.com/supermario.
