LEGO has a headstart on LEGO Ideas’ Godzilla
The announcement of a LEGO Ideas Godzilla model shouldn’t be too surprising, especially when the LEGO Group has the perfect foundation.
Godzilla will officially be able to stomp around your LEGO cities in the future, thanks to the third 2024 review results, where it was confirmed for a future LEGO Ideas set. MattE720’s proposed design is based on Godzilla in the current Legendary Pictures films, with two small arms, a lengthy tail, rows of spikes and a small head.
This fan design also has some posing, though the use of specific angled elements suggests that posability is limited. The official LEGO Ideas set would be wise to expand on this, and it has the perfect foundation to build off.
LEGO Super Mario’s massive 71411 The Mighty Bowser has 2,807 pieces, depicting the iconic video game character at a massive scale, acting as an unofficial LEGO Godzilla for your modular displays for a few years now.
Bowser’s puppet-like design with hidden mechanisms to use the figure as he stomps through levels would work perfectly for a LEGO Godzilla that is both playable and displayable. After all, it would be a shame to get LEGO Godzilla if we can’t stomp him through a modular display. Bowser’s fire blast feature could even be adapted with a blue equivalent for Godzilla.
You can find out more about the play features of 71411 The Mighty Bowser in our thorough review, but they aren’t the only part of the Super Mario set that would be useful for the LEGO Ideas Godzilla set. The Mario character’s proportions are similar enough to Godzilla that it proves such huge figures can be made out of LEGO without being fragile.
Bowser’s base in 71411 The Mighty Bowser provides a sturdy and suitable display stand for the giant figure, and the upcoming Godzilla model would benefit from one too. Just replace the torches with destroyed Skyscrapers, add some microscale cars, and it’s practically perfect.
While we wait for the LEGO Ideas Godzilla set to be finalised and released, 71411 The Mighty Bowser is available now for £229.99 / $269.99 / €269.99. You might also want to stock up on the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection for a suitable display for Godzilla.
