The LEGO Company has releaseda teaser videogiving fans a glimpse of some of the new figures headed to its ever-expandingLEGO Super Mariotoy line — The five new figures, which were revealed on the company’s Twitter, represent the key members of the much-loved Donkey Kong family.
In the video, we can see the unmistakable designs of Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, and Daisy Kong, as well as the main man, Donkey Kong himself. And because no game is complete without a Funky Kong mode, then that totally tubular ape is also putting in an appearance, wraparound shades and all. While the characters’ features are yet to be detailed, we can assume that these battery-operated LCD figures will interact with theLEGO Super Marioplaysets, much like previous releases Mario, Luigi, and Daisy.
Something appears to be going on with Diddy’s tail… not quite sure what that’s about.

TheDonkey Kongfamily of figures will undoubtedly add new options for set growth, as young LEGO andSuper Mariofans build a Mushroom Kingdom of their very own.
