We’ve seen Mario, karts, Mario on a kart, and lots more since Lego first teamed up with Nintendo, and at long last, everyone’s favorite talking green dinosaur is getting his chance in the spotlight–not you, Denver. Never you.
While it’s just a quick tease for now, the Nintendo Today app featured Yoshi poking his head out of frame. It’s clearly the fan-favorite character, judging by the color of the bricks, the shape of his eyes, and what’s clearly a big snout taking up space; and judging by the bricks used, this should be a sizable figure. That shouldn’t be too surprising, because if it features the same complexity as the Lego Bowser and Mario Kart figures that were geared toward adult collectors, then this Yoshi is going to command a sizable piece of shelf real estate.
Just don’t expect this Yoshi in time for the holiday rush, as the fine print on the left side of the image suggests it won’t hit stores until 2027. There’s no official pricing yet for the figure, but like all things Lego, expect to pony up quite a few bucks, as Nintendo-branded sets can cost a lot, depending on the figure’s complexity and the number of bricks in the kit.
If you are looking for another Nintendo Lego set, there’s been no shortage of them throughout 2026. Some of the highlights include the 2,234-piece Mario Kart: Luigi set that puts Mario’s brother behind the wheel of the Mach 8, diorama-style Animal Crossing sets launched earlier this year, and alongside The Pokemon Company, there were plenty of Pokemon Lego kits to build.
Next year will also see the launch of a brand-new line of Super Mario minifigure-scale sets, which includes builds like Mario’s Pipe Jump, Yoshi at Mario’s House, and Fire Mario & Bowser’s Castle.
