What is the height of the fire-breathing dragon-turtle-lizard thing who frequently roils the Mushroom Kingdom as Mario's chief nemesis? There is no single answer to the age old question. If you have been holding back on Legos because you didn't like them, I might have a set for you.

Lego has a 2,807 piece version of the reptile that looks ready for some of the biggest boss fights we have ever seen in a game. The Lego Super Mario build is larger than the original one.

*Here’s the original Lego Bowser for comparison.*

The company hasn't told us how tall the new Bowser is, but it's clear he towers over Lego's other Mario figures as only a Mega or Giant can. He has his mouth, arms, legs, tail, head and neck, and while it is not clear how you will use it, there is a fireball in his head.

A small piece of the famous Bowser Castle stage has been given a gold-trimmed red carpet by the company. The stand is used as a display stand.

There is an electronic element in the Lego Super Mario set. According to the company's press release, fans who own a LEGO Super Mario starter course will be able to battle against LEGO Mario, Luigi, and Peach, allowing for truly immersive and digitally enhanced play.

*To get the shape of his spiked shell just right, there’s a new Lego element too: a smaller and/or more parabolic cone* *than we’ve seen previously. It looks a bit like an acorn here.*

There will be a new Lego set on October 1st. The set is one of many that the company is releasing now that it is building for adult budgets. We have recently covered a number of others.

There are more high-res images of the Lego set.
