LEGO and Nintendo are unveiling a colossal 14-foot tall Bowser statue at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, bringing the Super Mario baddie to life with almost 700,000 bricks.
Fans attending Comic-Con (which takes place from July 21 to 24) will be able to see the LEGO Bowser up close. The model also has mechanised parts which allow his arms, hands, head, eyes, and eyebrows to move, and is also installed with a mighty roar. All in all, the statues is made up of 663,900 pieces.
It goes without saying that this truly massive LEGO set will not be for sale, and was built to celebrate an upcoming 2,807 piece Bowser set (which seems measly in comparison but is still pretty big under normal circumstances) and the success of the LEGO Super Mario range overall.
The normal Mighty Bowser is officially still the biggest Mario set to be released so far, eclipsing the Bowser's Airship set that previously took the prize at $99.99 and 1,152 pieces. Not part of the automated Mario LEGO line – but still very much a Mario LEGO set – a Super Mario 64 set was also released last year.
This is just LEGO's latest foray into the gaming world, having previously released sets based on Sonic the Hedgehog (with the Green Hill Zone), Horizon: Forbidden West (with the Tallneck), and more.
