Get Ready to Swing With These 4 New LEGO Donkey Kong Sets!

In case you missed it, LEGO has officially announced the release of a wave of new LEGO Donkey Kong sets that further expand its highly successful LEGO Super Mario theme. Following a teaser from several days ago, LEGO has finally listed four new LEGO Donkey Kong sets slated to arrive on shelves in August. The exciting reveal marks the beginning of a new wave of inspiration from Nintendo franchises.

A Brief History of Donkey Kong

For the younger generation who may be unfamiliar with the iconic video game character, Donkey Kong (DK) was first introduced in 1981. He first debuted as the dotting villain in an arcade game where he is pitted against the pixelized hero Mario. And in 1994, DK saw a revival when gaming developer Rare released Donkey Kong Country. It is a side-scrolling platformer game that boasted pre-rendered 3D graphics that were quite ahead of its time. Aside from the inclusion of Donkey Kong’s flashy red tie, he is now viewed as the hero of the game paving the way for him to become a Nintendo mainstay.

Now, LEGO has introduced another milestone to Donkey Kong and his clan, as they will now receive their official LEGO versions. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from these new LEGO Donkey Kong sets before they arrive in August.

4 New LEGO Donkey Kong Sets Added to LEGO.com

All of these new Lego Super Mario Donkey Kong expansion sets will be available for purchase starting on August 1 on LEGO’s home shopping portal and other brick and mortar stores worldwide. You also have the option to pre-order DK’s Tree House set starting today.

These collection of new LEGO Donkey Kong expansion sets are a nod to the past, with DK’s comeback as a hero in the 90s with the release of Donkey Kong Country. Those who grew up with these classic Donkey Kong video games will surely appreciate the play features and design of these LEGO iterations.

Will these sets be added to your must-have LEGO sets in August? Let’s talk about in the comments below!

More LEGO Donkey Kong Figures and Characters Revealed

LEGO and Nintendo fans can expect more exciting sets as the LEGO Super Mario theme expands. LEGO recently gave us a peek of more LEGO Donkey Kong characters to come, adding to the first set revealed last MAR10 celebrations. As it turns out, more LEGO Donkey Kong sets will arrive this summer, and we can expect to see not just Donkey Kong but also other popular characters from the franchise.

Here’s the sneak peek LEGO shared over social media:

From the get-go, we can see that the following iconic DK characters will be given the LEGO treatment.

More LEGO Donkey Kong Characters To Be Expected

Diddy Kong

more lego donkey kong

Joining Donkey Kong is his loyal sidekick, Diddy Kong. The character has been a fan favorite since its debut in the game Donkey Kong Country in 1994. The LEGO version of Diddy Kong is sure to be a hit among collectors and gamers alike.

Dixie Kong

Another character to join the DK crew is Dixie Kong, who first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. Dixie Kong is known for her unique abilities, including using her ponytail to float and fly.

Cranky Kong

Cranky Kong, the elder Kong and original Donkey Kong from the 1981 arcade game, is also part of the new LEGO set. In Donkey Kong Country, he serves as the player’s guide and shares his wisdom and humor throughout the game.

Funky Kong

more lego donkey kong funky

Last but not least, Funky Kong, the cool surfer dude and owner of Funky’s Flights, will also be part of the LEGO set. Funky Kong has appeared in several Donkey Kong games and is known for providing transportation to the other characters.

Pricing and Availability

Although no release date has been announced yet, LEGO has teased fans with a brief clip on Twitter featuring the upcoming DK figures. It’s safe to say that fans are eagerly anticipating the release of these figures and cannot wait to add them to their collections.

LEGO’s latest announcement of the Donkey Kong figures is exciting news for both LEGO and Donkey Kong fans. With the addition of Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and Funky, the DK crew is now complete in LEGO form. Though it will be much cooler to see actual minifigures or bigfigs of these beloved characters, I’m still pretty sure that LEGO Nintendo fans will love to add these brick-built characters to their collection. Expect more LEGO Donkey Kong reveals in the next few weeks.

LEGO Super Mario Donkey Kong Officially Announced!

In case you tuned in to LEGO’s live stream of its upcoming LEGO Super Mario sets yesterday, then you’ll be glad to know that aside from a new expansion set, fans of Nintendo’s iconic gorilla will also have his very first official LEGO set in the form of an upcoming LEGO Super Mario Donkey Kong set!

The reveal was made by host Jack Gardner over at LEGO’s YouTube channel. You can catch a sneak peek of this exciting new set below.

Not so much was mentioned with this set, save from the title card that reads LEGO Super Mario Donkey Kong. But from the looks of it, it seems that this first brick rendition of DK will unlock new features from the Mario, Luigi, and Peach starter packs. It looks like this feature will be activated once these starter packs are mounted or joined together with LEGO Super Mario Donkey Kong. It’s quite unsure yet if LEGO’s Donkey Kong will be part of a larger expansion set, or will be a stand-alone one. We just have to wait and see in the coming months.

LEGO Super Mario Donkey Kong

From the get-go, this build is not very much different in terms of height as compared to the LEGO Mario figure. The printed tile for his eyes is also spot-on, accurately catching the looks of Nintendo’s legendary gorilla. I would also like to commend the designers here for their decision to actually provide molded hands for DK.

Hopefully will get to see more details about this in the next few weeks. And with more LEGO Super Mario sets to be unveiled in the coming days, I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for actual Mario and Luigi minifigures. It’s certainly a possibility especially now that promotions for Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie are now in full swing. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release starting April 5, 2023.

LEGO Dry Bowser Castle Battle Expansion Set (71423) Coming Soon in August!

And with the included crane, you can rescue a Purple Toad from the trap and topple Dry Bowser at the same time.

LEGO Teases a LEGO Donkey Kong Set for MAR10 Day!

Following the unintended reveal of the LEGO Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Battle (71423), it looks like LEGO is continuously building on the hype and excitement. Because as it turns out, it seems that LEGO is teasing a LEGO Donkey Kong reveal just in time for Nintendo’s MAR10 Day celebrations.

Shared by LEGO’s social media team via Instagram, LEGO is hinting that we might be seeing our very first LEGO Donkey Kong set just in time for MAR10 Day. Take a look.

LEGO Donkey Kong teaser

Along with a countdown timer, the imposing silhouette DK’s brick-built figure adds to the excitement of the MAR10 celebrations. Though I am excited about this first-ever LEGO Donkey Kong set, I have to say right off the bat that this may not be the usual LEGO 18+ set that adult LEGO collectors are looking forward to. There were confirmations already that there will be no LEGO 18+ sets to be revealed in conjunction with this year’s MAR10 Day celebrations. Furthermore, this brick-built rendition of Nintendo’s iconic video game character is a bit small given the LEGO elements and pieces that were used.

Whatever the case, as an avid Super Mario fan, I’m still excited to see what LEGO has in store for MAR10 Day. It’s just a matter of hours before the show begins over at LEGO’s official YouTube channel, so be sure to keep tabs on this and here on our blog site as well.

Here’s a First Look at the LEGO Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Battle (71423)

Last week, Nintendo’s social media team was quite busy promoting this year’s grandest Super Mario celebration. Included in the announcement is a brief mention of yet another collaboration with LEGO. And this time around, we now have a visual confirmation of what this first collaboration is in the likes of the just recently revealed LEGO Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Battle (71423)

Coming in at 1,321 pieces this set is expected to retail for $100 once it arrives in LEGO stores this month. Though it is a sizeable set as shared by Dylan Chow over Instagram, this is still not considered an 18+ set. Just a couple of days ago, The Brick Fan mentioned that this upcoming LEGO MAR10 celebratory set is not an 18+ or D2C set which usually appeals to adult LEGO fans in a similar vein to that of The Mighty Bowser (71411) from last year, the Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block (71395) from 2021, or the Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) from 2020.

Based on what we see from Dylan’s post, the Dry Bowser Castle Battle (71423), seems to be another expansion set that ties up with previous LEGO Super Mario sets in terms of functionality and course features. We even get to see a similar Purple Toad found in LEGO Super Mario Character Packs Series 5 (71410), a Bone Goomba from LEGO Super Mario Character Packs Series 2 (71386), and a new Bone Piranha Plant and Lava Blargg build as well. I also love the aesthetics of the castle’s chain while giving it the same vibe as that of Bowser’s Castle Boss Battle (71369).

The LEGO Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Battle is expected to make its official debut any time soon once MAR10 Day celebrations are in full swing. As a final note, just2good over his YouTube channel also reports of another LEGO Super Mario that will happen alongside the reveal of the Dry Bowser Castle. It is anticipated that this will be our first LEGO Donkey Kong set and it’s exciting to see how LEGO will pull this out.

What LEGO Super Mario Reveal is Waiting for Us on MAR10 Day? 

March 10 is fast approaching, and if you’re an avid LEGO and Nintendo fan, then you’re most probably ready for MAR10 day fun this Friday. Because as it turns out, a LEGO Super Mario reveal may be on its way in conjunction with the most exciting Nintendo Day of the year.

Nintendo has just announced that there are going to be a ton of awesome activities and reveals happening during the much-anticipated MAR10 day. And according to Nintendo’s press release, LEGO is going to drop a special announcement on their YouTube channel on March 10 at 8 am PT. You may find a mention of this anticipated LEGO Super Mario reveal towards the end of Nintendo’s announcement.

For a full list of MAR10 Day activities, including special announcements from Nintendo’s partners at LEGO, First 4 Figures and PDP Promotions, please visit http://mario.nintendo.com.

I can’t help but speculate what LEGO has up its sleeves. Could it be LEGO sets for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie? Or perhaps more expansion sets for the current LEGO Super Mario theme? Rumor has it that it is a larger LEGO Super Mario set that will be released later this year. As of now, the current title of being the largest LEGO Super Mario set is from last year’s The Mighty Bowser (71411).

Will the next LEGO Super Mario reveal be larger than the current holder which is the LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser (71411)? We just have to wait and see.

Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s going to be epic. So be sure to mark your calendars for March 10, 8 am PT. And while you’re at it, why not bookmark our blog site as well? Stay tuned!
