Summary

Nintendo and LEGO have officially confirmed the upcoming release of a traditional Mario minifigure
The announcement arrived via a short teaser video showcasing Mario emerging from an iconic green pipe
New sets featuring the classic minifigure scale will launch sometime in 2027

The highly anticipated LEGO Super Mario Minifigure is officially on the way, marking a major milestone for the long-running partnership. Following nearly six years of interactive, electronic playsets, Nintendo and LEGO are finally delivering the classic minifigure experience that fans and collectors have been requesting.

A recent teaser from the official Nintendo of America account provided a first look at the new figure. Based on the initial imagery, the design features a completely new head mold and a custom hat piece tailored specifically to the beloved plumber. Rather than utilizing dual-molded legs, the figure appears to feature printed detailing on the bottom of the feet to represent Mario’s signature shoes.

This upcoming release is expected to usher in a new wave of minifigure-scale sets. These builds will likely recreate iconic locations and levels from the franchise, operating independently from the previously established interactive theme that utilized boxy, screen-equipped figures. While additional characters like Luigi and Peach have not been officially shown in this new format, the custom tooling of Mario’s headpiece opens the door for a fully realized line of traditional figures.
