Lego and Mario Are Officially Teaming Up for New Releases in 2027
Nintendo and The Lego Group have announced an expansion of their successful partnership with the introduction of Super Mario minifigures, marking a significant evolution in their collaborative product line. The companies teased the first of these classic-style minifigures in March, featuring Mario emerging from a Warp Pipe in traditional Lego minifigure form, though with a distinctively custom head design that departs from standard Lego proportions.
The new line represents a major milestone for the partnership, which began six years ago with the launch of Interactive Lego Mario sets. These initial products featured squat, blocky figures designed to resemble stacked Super Mario Question Blocks, a design philosophy that will evolve with the introduction of the minifigure line. The minifigures promise to bring classic Lego proportions and aesthetics to the Mario universe, appealing to both longtime Lego enthusiasts and Nintendo fans.
The Super Mario minifigure collection is scheduled to launch in 2027, giving fans considerable anticipation for what figures will be included in the expanded roster. While details remain limited, the announcement suggests Nintendo and Lego plan to continue expanding the intersection of their intellectual properties, offering collectors and players new ways to engage with both brands. This collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to maintaining relevance in the toy and interactive entertainment space while capitalizing on Super Mario’s enduring popularity.
