LEGO has unveiled a new Pokémon Smart Play set that recreates the iconic moment when the legendary Mewtwo shatters its laboratory confinement. The 605‑piece kit, priced at $69.99, is slated for an August 2026 launch and includes a buildable Master Ball and an exclusive Smart Tag.

605‑piece Mewtwo set priced at $69.99

According to the product announcement, the set contains 605 individual bricks and will retail for $69.99 worldwide. Builders receive a detailed laboratory scene, a dial that opens the containment chamber, and a Master Ball that can be used in future Pokémon play scenarios. The price point places the set alongside other LEGO Pokémon All‑In‑One releases, such as the Pikachu Training House, offering a comparable entry for collectors and younger fans.

Articulation details of 7.5‑inch Mewtwo figure

The assembled Mewtwo figure stands roughly 7.5 inches tall and features articulation in the arms, legs, hands, head, and tail, allowing for dynamic poseability. As the release notes explain, the figure’s limbs move independently, letting users mimic the psychic power pose that fans recognize from the franchise’s animated battles. This level of detail mirrors LEGO’s recent trend of adding more movement to iconic characters, a move that has been praised by hobbyist communities.

Smart Tag without Smart Brick requirement

While the set is marketed as Smart Play compatible, it does not include a Smart Brick. Instead, LEGO encourages owners to pair the exclusive Smart Tag with Smart Bricks from other Pokémon sets, such as Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle or Pikachu’s Training House.. The Smart Tag enables interactive features—lights, sounds, and motion—when the figure is moved, according to the LEGO press release.

Release timing in August 2026 and pre‑order strategy

LEGO has scheduled the Mewtwo Lab Break for an August 2026 release , aligning it with the broader rollout of the Pokémon Smart Play line.. The company advises fans to pre‑order through its official website, noting that the set will be bundled with other Pokémon All‑In‑One kits for a complete play experience.. This timing suggests LEGO is positioning the set to capitalize on the summer shopping season and the upcoming Pokémon anniversary celebrations.

Will compatible Smart Bricks be bundled?

The announcement leaves a key question unanswered: whether LEGO will bundle the necessary Smart Bricks with the Mewtwo set or continue the current model of requiring separate purchases. As of now, the only guidance is to acquire compatible bricks from existing releases, a detail that may affect collectors who prefer a single‑box solution.
