Punch Out: Little Mac vs King Hippo

Little Mac fought his way through the Minor Circuit, but this fight will prove to be his most challenging yet as he goes head to head with the monstrous King Hippo. Will Mac prevail, or will King Hippo prove to be too strong for him? This LEGO Ideas project was inspired by Punch Out, and features a boxing ring, Little Mac minifigure, and, of course, a buildable figure of King Hippo. Punch Out is one of my favorite game series, and King Hippo is among it's most iconic opponents, so I thought it would be cool to see this iconic video game foe built in LEGO form. Not only does the set feature King Hippo's main appearance, but it also features variants of him with his classic NES appearance and his title defense outfit. Before, this project was declined for containing a new crown piece, but both crowns used are pieces that were in official LEGO sets. The first crown is from King Pig from the LEGO Angry Birds sets, and the second was used as an egg in the Venomsaurus set.
