Sonic the Hedgehog isn’t the only one getting LEGO sets in August. The LEGO Group has announced that the LEGO Super Mario franchise is expanding to add Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Dixie Kong. It will be the first time the Kongs have been represented in LEGO brick form.
The four new sets are Donkey Kong’s Tree House Expansion Set, Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride Expansion Set, Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam Expansion Set, and Rambi the Rhino Expansion Set. The new sets and characters will be able to interact with LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi, and LEGO Peach.
“The excitement continues to grow for the LEGO Super Mario franchise with yet another playful update. We’re welcoming the iconic Donkey Kong into the LEGO Super Mario product line! We can’t wait to see how the four Expansion Sets inspire kids to discover the new wild and colourful jungle from the Donkey Kong universe, whether that’s hanging out in the tree house, riding a mine cart, jamming out with Dixie Kong or exploring with Rambi,” said Simon Kent, Design Director at the LEGO Group.
All four sets will launch August 1 and will be available at LEGO stores, lego.com, and select leading retailers around the world.
