The LEGO Piranha Plant measures 9 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep – roughly the size of a potted plant – and includes 540 pieces. It's a fantastic display piece with multiple articulation points at the head, mouth, stalk, and leaves. The hinged jaw and posable parts allow for endless customization. There's even a hidden piggy bank inside the pipe, complete with two golden coins to start your collection. Although the piece count is moderate, this set is aimed at adults, so beginners might need some help. Once built, its adorable design appeals to all ages, even those who didn't participate in the assembly.

Kevin Wong of IGN built this set and noted, "The new Piranha Plant is nearly perfect as a LEGO build – vibrant, well-proportioned, and reasonably priced. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned fan, it captures the Mario series' playful charm – cute but not overly so, menacing in a fun way, and full of personality."
