The lineup expands the minifigure roster beyond prior builds, with Mario and Luigi variants, Peach, Bowser Jr., Bowser (as a bigfig), and new/returning figures such as Yoshi, Toad, Goomba, and Koopa Troopa; notable firsts include Bowser Jr. as a LEGO minifigure and Fire Mario/Fire Luigi variants appearing across sets.

Yoshi is limited to the Mario’s House/Yoshi’s House set in this wave, making Yoshi the only minifigure exclusive to that particular set in the eight-set lineup.

The wave includes specific build scales and piece counts, with 72052 Mario’s Pipe Jump at 61 pieces and 72060 Fire Mario & Bowser’s Castle at 850 pieces; pricing spans from $9.99 to $99.99, reflecting a broad range of playset sizes.
LEGO is finally giving Super Mario fans what they've wanted for six years: minifigures. On January 1, 2027, eight new sets will launch featuring Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and other iconic characters as playable figures for the first time, 9to5toys reports. Prices range from $9.99 to $99.99, making the wave accessible to both casual players and serious collectors.
The shift marks a major pivot for the LEGO Super Mario line. After years of building-focused sets, LEGO is now centering the experience around minifigure roleplay and character collection. The lineup includes Mario Kart–themed builds, Bowser's Castle, and exclusive variants like Fire Mario and Fire Luigi, IGN noted.
Eight Sets Bring Mario's World to Minifigure Life
The January 2027 wave spans eight distinct sets with varying scales and price points. Mario's Pipe Jump (72052) starts small at just 61 pieces and $9.99. Fire Mario & Bowser's Castle (72060) is the flagship set with 850 pieces and a $99.99 price tag, nintendolife reports. Three sets focus on Mario Kart racing, tapping into the franchise's kart-racing roots.
Other sets include Yoshi at Mario's House (72057), Luigi & Bowser Jr's Race, Mario's Beach Adventures (72055), and Bowser's Rumbling Race (72058). Each set introduces new or reimagined minifigures, expanding LEGO's Mario character roster beyond what was possible before.
Minifigure Roster Includes Iconic and Exclusive Characters
For the first time, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser Jr. appear as LEGO minifigures. Bowser himself is rendered as a "bigfig" — a larger, sturdier figure designed for bigger characters. The wave also brings back Toad, Goomba, Yoshi, and Koopa Troopa, though each character's availability varies across sets.
Notable exclusives include Fire Mario and Fire Luigi variants, which appear across multiple sets as powered-up versions of the bros. Yoshi is limited to only one set in the wave — Yoshi at Mario's House (72057) — making it the must-have for collectors seeking every character.
Six Years of Waiting Ends With January 2027 Launch
The LEGO Super Mario line launched in 2020 without minifigures, focusing instead on mechanical builds and interactive playsets. The January 1, 2027 release represents the first major shift toward traditional minifigure-centered play. The Verge noted that sets are suitable for children aged four and older, broadening the appeal beyond hardcore LEGO fans.
LEGO teased the new minifigure direction during MAR10 Day and officially revealed the full lineup at Gamescom 2026. The strategic pivot signals LEGO's confidence that blending character collection with Mario's iconic world will drive engagement and sales through 2027 and beyond.
