The LEGO Piranha Plant measures 9 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep, making it about the size of a potted plant, and it consists of 540 bricks. Designed for ages 18+, this set is perfect for adult and experienced builders. However, its adorable design makes it appealing to kids of all ages, even if they don't participate in the building process.
This set is not just for building; it's also a fantastic display piece. With numerous articulation points at the head, mouth, stalk, and leaves, as well as a hinged jaw, you can customize its pose in myriad ways. A delightful Easter egg is included—a piggy bank built into the pipe, complete with two golden coins to start your collection.
In his review, IGN writer Kevin Wong shared his experience building this set: "As far as LEGO builds go, the new Piranha Plant is just about perfect – vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you're new to bricks or a dedicated hobbyist, this set captures that signature Mario franchise whimsy – cute but not too cute, menacing but not too menacing, and full of personality."
