US EditionMario Is Finally Getting a LEGO Minifigure, Launching in Sets From 2027
After years of fan demand, Nintendo and The Lego Group will launch official Super Mario minifigures in 2027, expanding the franchise beyond larger Lego builds.
- On Mario Day, Nintendo and The Lego Group teased a Mario minifigure debuting in 2027, showing a Mario popping out of a green pipe.
- In recent years, fan demand for true minifigures grew as collectors pressed The Lego Group since 2020 after focusing on blocky interactive Super Mario theme sets.
- The revealed figure departs from classic Lego anatomy by using a nonstandard Lego minifigure head and printed shoe details, with an absence of dual-molded legs noted.
- Social reaction split between creators and fans as Nintendo of America tweeted the teaser on March 10, with custom-figure creators reacting negatively while fans expressed relief for the official Lego Mario minifigures.
- Looking toward 2027, the new minifig line opens options for Lego Super Mario and may see a reveal on Mario Day 2027 or arrive shortly after the next 2D Mario title for Switch.
