Description

A Pokémon with a striking backstory

Mewtwo was created in the Pokémon world through genetic manipulation of the rare Pokémon Mew, and has stood ever since as one of the strongest psychic-type Pokémon in the series. The character became especially well known through the first Pokémon film, where Mewtwo questions its origins and its place as an artificially created being. Set 72163 leans into that theme of escape and liberation, capturing Mewtwo in the act of leaving a laboratory environment behind. For fans familiar with the character's backstory, that gives the scene extra narrative depth, moving beyond a simple standing figure to capture an actual dramatic moment.

Build style and colours

With 605 pieces and 218 distinct elements, this set sits in the mid-to-larger range for Pokémon builds, offering a longer and more varied evening at the table. The colour palette of White, Light Bluish Gray, Dark Bluish Gray and Black suits the sterile, technical feel of a laboratory while also echoing Mewtwo's cool, detached presence. The build combines smooth, technical-looking sections for the lab backdrop with organically shaped sections for the Pokémon figure itself, keeping the process varied throughout. The full parts list with every colour can be checked at any time on this page.

Size class and part reuse

With no minifigures included, the set focuses entirely on Mewtwo and its laboratory scene, positioning it clearly as a collector's display piece rather than a play set. The 218 unique parts represent solid variety relative to the total piece count, visible in the many technical details of the lab backdrop. Elements such as tiles, grey plates and black detail pieces reuse well in other sci-fi or technical builds, from home laboratories to space station scenes. That gives the set some useful crossover value beyond the Pokémon theme itself for builders interested in technical backdrops.

Who this set suits

This set suits Pokémon fans who rate Mewtwo among the series' more complex characters and prefer a narrative scene over a simple standing figure. Since no minifigures are included, all the attention goes into the build itself and the finished model as a centrepiece. At 605 pieces, it offers enough substance for a satisfying weekend project without dragging on. Before deciding, it is worth checking the complete parts list with colours on this page to see exactly what is included.
