REVIEW: 71426 Piranha Plant

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 2023 LEGO Super Mario 71426 Piranha Plant:

 

THE GOOD:

• Looks great and really captured the look of the Piranha Plant.
• Perfect size for desktop and shelf display.
• Printed Mario coin is a plus.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• The head is quite heavy so depending of the angle you trying to pose, the holding strong may not be strong enough at times.

It's a great set and perfect shelf display for a Mario fan.  It's actually very fun to build too.  The Pot (Pipe entry) has a very smooth service and looks great even without the Piranha Plant.  The plant itself also fun to build and really capture the looks of the character.  Having the action feature to open and close the mouth is expected but including 2x printed mario coins and allowing you to put the coins into the pot is a nice surprised.  It's the perfect size to a nice desktop display or on a shelf.  However, because the size of the head and only use one big ball joint to connect to the stem, it basically not strong enough to hold the head in right position depending on the pose you want to display.  Otherwise, it's a cool little set at decent price.  Definitely recommend this to everyone even you are not a fan of Super Mario :)
