Making us feel like over-excited children who are already looking forward to Christmas this year is this Bowser's Castle playset.
Measuring in at 14-and-a-half inches wide by 12-and-a-half inches tall, the castle features deadly trap doors, spinning fireballs and a working lift - as well as a figure of Bowser himself. The best part, though, is the fact that pushing down on one of the castle's spires lets you listen to sounds and music from the games as you play. Awesome.
It's being released later this month as part of a relationship between Nintendo and Jakks Pacific; there are plenty of other items and toys available to accompany it, some of which have already launched. If you're interested in picking one up, it's available to pre-order right now for $44.99 (international shipping is available).
Incidentally, you can also put an order in for a (slightly cheaper) Mushroom Kingdom Castle playset, too. This one was released a while ago, but a restock is imminent.
Should we get one of these for the office? Will any work get done ever again? Decisions, decisions...

I have to get these for my nephew. I know she will love them. Did i just say nephew then she? Oh well, now it's obvious. I have to get these for myself.
Looks like it's made by the same guys who did the diorama things that came with the Super Mario Maker 2 pre-order.
Edit: It is the same company
This set looks pretty amazing actually. Most Mario toys tend to be pretty pricey, and aim for a spot on a 30-year-old's nerdshelf display, and not the toy box of a 7-year-old. The figurines themselves are just chunks of solid plastic, but I don't think that's so bad.
I want one (I'm 41 by the way 🤨)
Been interested in getting the Peach castle, glad to see they're doing one for Bowser too.
I have a feeling my son will be getting this for his third birthday
I remember being a kid and not liking when toys had batteries because that usually meant there would be a visible battery cover that would look out of place. lol I remember asking for the Transformers that specifically didn't have that sort of thing. I also avoided it with Lego. I don't think my parents minded in hindsight, since the ones with batteries were probably more expensive.
@Deljo you sound super cool. Promise you'll never get old & boring!!
This is compensation for not hosting the E3 Direct isnt it?
I would have freaked out over this as a smaller mammal.
MAN, if they had this when I was little. I was SUPER into collecting little figurines too. A series like this would have fueled many a christmas. Now I'm older and totally spoiled by figuarts and...
Figuarts Bowser would be good in here next to a 2.5" Mario... hmm
@Deljo Hi Deljo. I’m 36 and I have the same problem. No judgments here..
@Savino that's a great outlook to have and makes me feel better about the room I have dedicated to toys (mostly 80s) although the wife is getting annoyed at the full size batman I currently have in our conservatory 😆

Had a Pokemon Snap kiosk for a while. I had my fun and sold it for a profit.
