LEGO Ideas is a place where fan-created LEGO sets — called MOCs, or "My Own Creation", by LEGO fans — can be submitted for a chance to become reality. It's where we got sets like the recent Home Alone build, the typewriter, and plenty more TV tie-ins like Central Perk from Friends, the Seinfeld apartment, and 123 Sesame Street.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of fan suggestions revolve around video games. LEGO has made Minecraft sets in the past, and more recently, that fancy tech-enabled Super Mario line, but in general, Nintendo-themed sets don't seem to make it past LEGO's tough final step: an official committee.
Perhaps that could change for this Kirby set, which features the lil pink guy's Dream Land and a whole host of pals, from Waddle Dee and Meta Knight to King Dedede himself.
And sure, it's hard to recreate "orb with face" in LEGO's distinctly not-orb-shaped bricks, but with the use of a rounded plate with Kirby's face printed on it, orb-like features can be achieved! Much like the Kirby Nendoroid, these faceplates can be swapped out for new ones to represent other Kirby activities like enemy-sucking, enemy-eating, and shock.
If you want to see this set become reality, go to the LEGO Ideas website and vote for it!

It's probably safe to assume this would never get made. The Mario Lego sets seem to have been meticulously designed with many rounds of revisions over several years, so I can't imagine that Nintendo will license a fan creation.
I really appreciate the work that someone put into this, but these sets aren't anywhere near the level they need to be to be produced. Besides all that there is definitely going to be licensing issues, as mentioned above.
Fans have been asking for Nintendo LEGO for a long time and I think it's safe to say no one was expecting the Mario LEGO to be anything like how it turned out to be. If they had been proper minifigures, I think more people would have bought them, especially the mature audience. These Kirby sets seem to be heavily inspired on the Mario series, which is not a good thing in my honest opinion.
Remember when the whole focus of Lego was alternate builds…..now they’re just expensive, buildable ornaments.
I voted on it years ago, but it’ll never pass. LEGO picks boring choices and sitcom sets.
@Poodlestargenerica The old Battle Droids holding their megaphones gangsta-style was the best.
Do it for Poyo!
Too many stickers/printed pieces, it's not going to happen
This is awesome
Not a sitcom so will never happen. Besides lego has never chosen a nintendo set, and I don't think they would choose Kirby over legend of Zelda
