LEGO Super Mario 71426 Piranha Plant
LEGO Super Mario 71426 Piranha Plant consists of 540 bricks and regrettably does not include any minifigures. The model stands at 23 cm in height, 11 cm in width, and 17 cm in length. Builders can manipulate the head, mouth, stem, and leaves to craft new poses. Additionally, the building experience of the set enables you to construct it from the ground up, creating the illusion of the Piranha Plant emerging from the pipe. Furthermore, the set contains 2 coin elements.
Carl Merriam, Senior Designer at LEGO Super Mario, shared his thoughts on the design process: “When designing LEGO Super Mario 71426 Piranha Plant, it was crucial to capture its distinctive features and ensure that the set could be positioned to reflect its iconic poses. I am immensely proud of the final product; from the menacing mouth to the intricate leaves and the lifelike stem, we’ve successfully encapsulated the essence of the Piranha Plant.”
