The Mighty Lego Bowser is ready to smash everything this October

After releasing a few play sets and then some display items, Lego and Nintendo are back together again with the reveal of The Mighty Bowser, an all-new figure coming in October

Yes, the Mighty Bowser is a puppet.. you can control his arms, head and even when he shoots his fireball and as a puppet, he has been designed to stand up on his own, without the need for any external supports.

When you include Bowser and the stand he comes with, the size is insane at 32 cm high, 41 cm wide and 28 cm deep, it is one of the biggest non-vehicle based Lego sets around and with just over 2800 pieces, is detailed as well.

Sadly, with as much detail as they have put into this set, the price tag will match as it has a RRP of $399.99, if that does not turn you away, you can get the details on ordering them, direct from Lego. The figure itself will release on October 1st, so there is still some months until he is ready to stomp on your shelf.

“Bowser is, quite simply, the ultimate boss – and we’re delighted to announce that we’re introducing this oversized version to the LEGO Super Mario adult line for a little added peril,” said Carl Merriam, Senior Designer, LEGO Super Mario. “Since we launched LEGO Super Mario two years ago, we’ve been on such a journey – gradually expanding with the most iconic and recognizable characters of the LEGO Super Mario universe.

“Adding LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser really is a blast from the past for many Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs). He might be the big boss, but he still brings back a warm feeling of nostalgia to adult Super Mario fans worldwide. Just as defeating Bowser was always the ultimate challenge in the Super Mario games, here we’re challenging fans to build the King of the Koopas from nearly 3,000 pieces. We know they’re up to the task and will be chomping at the bit to get their hands on this great new addition to the Super Mario line.”
