Nintendo gave us a bit of a tease a few days ago revealing that a LEGO Super Mario creation that will stand at over 14 feet tall will be appearing at San Diego Comic-Con. Now, we’ve been given a closer look at King Koopa’s monstrous, bricky final form. And no, you can’t buy this one sadly.
Nintendo of America shared a short clip of this behemoth on Twitter, which is based on ‘The Mighty Bowser’. That already pretty big LEGO Bowser already has over 2800 pieces, but this jumbo-sized display model makes that look pitiful. Built with 663,900 bricks (!!!), it’s sure to tower over attendees who are attending the annual convention in San Diego this weekend.
King-Sized… might be an understatement here, Nintendo. But, more importantly, we’re loving those moving eyebrows. We wish we could buy this, honestly. Not that any of us have the space or budget for a 14-feet tall Bowser model, but we can try!
LEGO Bowser will be at San Diego Comic-Con all weekend. The convention kicks off this Thursday, 21st July, and runs until Sunday 24th July. He shouldn’t be too hard to spot!
Are you attending Comic-Con? Will you be checking out this monolithic Bowser model? Tell us in the comments!

A Mario cosplayer had better grab it by the tail, spin it and lob the entire thing into a lego bomb, while screaming "SO LONG-EH BOWSER" or I want my money back.
NINJA APPROVED
@BloodNinja extra points if Bowser shouts “Ow… Lego!”
@BloodNinja Only if they do it on a replica turntable/stage like what's part of the Mario ? Block LEGO set!
There seems to be one "0" too much in the article. This thing is massive!
@BloodNinja You know that's not what he says.
I feel like Doug Bowser green lit this…
@Ryu_Niiyama probably, I thought he liked Luigi more lol
@hypercoyote @BloodNinja "SO LONG G-EH BOWSER"
Oh wow it literally is based on the lego figure, FNAF animatronic-esque stare and all
@hypercoyote @BloodNinja that was actually a strange compression error as Charles Marnet said that in recording he actually said “so long kinga bowser!” But compression made it change
I'm starting to think a Lego Mario game could work pretty well
I wonder why there isn’t a Super Mario LEGO Game on the switch…
YAY! He animates! And it's even grander than I thought it would be!
I would like to know how much that cost LEGO to produce, how much they charged Nintendo, and how much that thing weighs.
@Kid_Sickarus EXCELLENT ICON, just had to get that off my chest lol.
And yes, bonus points will be awarded!
NINJA APPROVED
@Kermit1 @hypercoyote Oh, I know what he says
@gcunit One Lego piece is between €0,08 and €0,12 on average.
So let's take €0,10, so it would cost around €66390 to make.
Ofcourse it would be cheaper for Lego to get the bricks, maybe around €0,05. Which leaves still around €33195
And ofcourse that's not calculating the days it takes to design and build.
It-it's... magnificent!
sheds a tear
I must admit, that is awesome.
So it's a large lego model of a small lego model, and now even the round lego parts have sharp edges, making those spikes seem like the least sharp part of the model.
Really great job. Looks amazing
I always think it's a bit silly when they build the large sculptures to look as if they're made from large lego-pieces, but it's this a lot of fun to see it this massive! :v
He's a big boy made out a whole bunch of choking hazards.
Lord Bowser. You're shorter than I expected.
Now that's dedication
A Mario villain that Mario can't step on made of stuff you can't step on. Clever.
@Ryu_Niiyama it's a mech suit, Doug will be inside!
