Standing at 9" high, 4.5" wide, and 6.5" deep—roughly the size of a potted plant—this 540-piece set is marketed for ages 18+, appealing to adult builders and experienced LEGO enthusiasts. However, its adorable design makes it a hit with kids of all ages, regardless of their building skills.
The Piranha Plant's numerous articulation points (head, mouth, stalk, leaves) and hinged jaw allow for countless customizable poses, making it a fantastic display piece. A fun detail: a built-in piggy bank in the pipe comes with two golden coins to kickstart your collection.
IGN writer Kevin Wong, in his review, praised the set, stating, "As far as LEGO builds are concerned, the new Piranha Plant is just about perfect – vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you're new to bricks or you're a dedicated hobbyist, this set captures that signature Mario franchise whimsy – cute but not too cute, menacing but not too menacing, and imbued with lots of personality."
