LEGO is finally answering fan prayers by introducing a proper minifigure for Nintendo’s mascot, Mario.
A first look at the Mario minifigure has been revealed via Instagram, showing the plastic plumber leaping out of a warp pipe. The design features a new mould for Mario’s head, with his cap, sideburns, nose and moustache all part of its shape, rather than simply printed on.
The response has been positive, following years of wait for LEGO to make a proper Mushroom Kingdom minifigure. And while we’re still to find out exactly when and where Mario will be making his minifigure debut, LEGO has at least said to expect the design sometime in 2027.
