LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser - Built to Impress

As pointed out in the video, this Bowser is mainly built from non-character-specific or specially-created pieces, which is nice. While I know Lego has reached a point where it’s fairly easy for them to create any specific brick or block they need, I still prefer when the company shows off fantastic parts usage and builds stuff using mostly standard or already-existing pieces. It feels more authentically Lego to me.

While this new Bowser looks great and can freely stand on your desk or bookshelf, it’s not just a fancy display set. Bowser can interact with the other Super Mario sets. So if you already own a Mario or Peach figure, you can use them to defeat Bowser, complete with original sound effects. Even better, Bowser comes with a destructible playset, so kids can recreate truly epic boss fights against the iconic villain.

Now, if only we could convince Nintendo and Lego to finally release some official Mario and Luigi minifigs, I’d be a very happy Lego fan.
