LEGO Super Mario 2027: New Minifigure-Based Sets Revealed

LEGO has revealed a new wave of Super Mario sets scheduled for 2027 that marks a clear shift in the franchise's toyline: these entries use traditional LEGO minifigures for the characters. The LEGO Super Mario line, first launched in 2020 with an interactive electronic LEGO Mario figure, is expanding with eight distinct sets that blend classic buildable play with familiar Nintendo characters. In a straightforward announcement, LEGO highlighted that the most notable change for the 2027 lineup is the switch to standard minifigures, moving away from the fully electronic figure that defined the original sets.
