You can learn more about what to expect from the LEGO Super Mario theme in our hands-on review. So whether the LEGO Group will be mixing that up for the 2023 wave or just are saving the best for last remains to be seen. The LEGO Super Mario summer collections normally launch with a new figure like Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach who have arrived in previous years.

Each of the brick-built figures should feature printed elements for the eyes and any other iconic details, too.Īll that seems to be missing this time around is a new electronic figure. The characters will all likely be spread across several different sets, though there’s no telling just how many kits are on the horizon. Alongside DK himself, the likes of Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, and hell, even Funky Kong will be making their LEGO debuts. Now that same focus is being applied outside of Mario specifically, with the first wave of kits focused around another iconic Nintendo video game character are on the horizon, and it couldn’t be happening to a better icon.Ĭoming later this year when the next lineup launches on August 1, the LEGO Mario summer wave will be packed full of Kongs. LEGO’s Mario collection typically leans into one kind of theme for each of its releases, with previous batches including the likes of Luigi’s Mansion, Mushroom Kingdom, and even aquatic levels. Now we know that the LEGO Group is going all in on the Kongs. But there was some uncertainly as to just how the rest of the wave would shape up. Back on Mario Day 2023, builders got their first glimpse of the famous ape himself with the formal reveal of LEGO Donkey Kong. Revealed via the official LEGO Twitter, a short video showcases a first look at several new brick-built characters making their debuts into the series.
