Lego Pokemon Blind Boxes Leaked: What You Need to Know

Ever wished you could unbox a random Pokemon and build it yourself? Well, you might soon be able to, if a new leak is to be believed.

According to longtime Lego leaker @got.cooped on Instagram, a Lego Pokemon blind box series is apparently in the works. These would reportedly be similar to the Super Mario buildable figure range, where you get a random character or enemy from the Nintendo series along with a mini-diorama to build. Those typically start at around $10 on Amazon.

Instead of molded figures like the ones in the Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball sets, the Pokemon blind boxes would use a similar buildable approach. So you'd be constructing your Pokemon from bricks, piece by piece.

Now, before you get too excited, it's important to take this with a pinch of salt. This is all unsubstantiated rumor rather than fact, and we can't guarantee it'll happen. However, @got.cooped has a good track record for Lego leaks, so it's worth keeping an eye on.

If it does turn out to be real, it could be a lot of fun. Those mini Mario figures are very well done, and even though they may not challenge the best Lego sets for impressiveness, they're excellent stocking-filler gifts for gamers. There's no reason why Pokemon wouldn't be just as good, especially since you could have the buildable figure sat on a base representing their preferred environment—a riverbed for Magikarp, a desert for Sandshrew, etc.

The series could even move through the Pokedex with each wave, going through the numbers sequentially. That way, this range could last for years.

Speaking of new kits, an iconic piece of Joker art is being made into a Lego Batman set, but fans are worried it'll haunt kids' nightmares. Plenty of models should also go on offer for this year's Black Friday Lego deals.
