LEGO Super Mario set 71426, Piranha Plant, depicts the familiar plant enemy from the series with a green pipe and coins.

The Piranha Plant is a recurring enemy in the Super Mario universe, known for its spotted head, stem and pipe setting. Set 71426 presents that subject as a standalone LEGO model, focusing on the creature’s recognizable shape rather than on a broader play scene with characters.

The build uses 540 pieces to create the plant, its pipe and 2 coins. The French retail title describes it as an articulated figure, so the model can be understood as a poseable display piece.

This set is aimed at Super Mario fans who want a display model or a collectible representation of a specific enemy. Within the LEGO Super Mario theme, it sits apart from more play focused course models by concentrating on one iconic subject. It can be displayed on its own or placed alongside other sets from the same theme.
