Wario & King Boo Reviews
Bricksfanz
“The buildable Wario figure is an impressive take on the character; it would be interesting to see how other human characters could be replicated as non-interactive figures. I’d love to see Waluigi, Pauline, and Rosalina added to future sets. The Mario Kart sets continue to... More delight by expanding the vehicle count and, in the case of this set, introducing a much-loved character. They also offer a nice balance between recreating the vehicles from the games and matching the unique style of the LEGO Mario sets.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Wario & King Boo set brings strong character appeal with the debut of a detailed brick-built Wario figure and his Badwagon kart, which includes a glider attachment and shell launcher. King Boo returns with a minor tweak to fit into his kart using a transparent brick column. With two colorful vehicles and a well-executed mix of character and vehicle design, this set stands out as one of the more exciting entries in the Mario Kart subtheme.”
