Nintendo and Jakks Pacific recently released the magnificent Super Mario Bowser’s Castle playset, which scales with their line of 2.5-inch Nintendo figures. A Bowser figure is included, but the set also features a working lift, trap doors, spinning fireballs, and in-game sounds and music that can be activated by pushing down on one of the castle’s spires.

If you are unfamiliar, Mega Construx is a new sibling brand of Mattel’s Mega Blocks that caters to older kids, adults, and collectors. They are very similar to LEGO, though one difference is that Mega Construx includes more realistic, articulated figures. The official description for the set reads:
