Lego Is Finally Bringing Classic Super Mario Minifigures to Shelves in 2027
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Nintendo and Lego are finally releasing traditional Super Mario minifigures in 2027, moving away from blocky interactive toys to give fans the classic figures they have wanted for years.
Polygon reports that Nintendo and The Lego Group are finally delivering the one thing fans have requested since their partnership began six years ago. The upcoming 2027 lineup will introduce proper Super Mario minifigures, replacing the chunky, interactive digital figures and blocky brick builds that have defined the collaboration so far. While early teasers showed Mario emerging from a Warp Pipe with a custom molded head, community leaks suggest he will be joined by Luigi, a larger Bowser build, and a rideable Yoshi with a removable shell.
This shift opens up endless creative possibilities for builders and collectors who wanted traditional compatibility with their broader Lego city and display setups. Nintendo and Lego have already tested the waters with minifigures for Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda, but bringing Mario into the standard mold feels like a massive milestone. It also caps off a busy stretch of hardware and franchise crossovers, including recent releases themed around Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, and Mario Kart.
For long time fans and digital creators who love showing off custom displays on TikTok and YouTube, this new wave changes everything. Moving away from specialized interactive electronics back to classic collector friendly minifigures shows that Lego and Nintendo are listening closely to their community. Expect these sets to dominate streaming desk setups and builder showcases the moment they drop in 2027.
