LEGO is bringing the adventures of Super Mario straight to our homes as the brand introduces a new Super Mario™ Piranha Plant set. Hitting stores nationwide in November, the new set will be available at major retailers and the toy brand's web store, lego.com.

A classic recreation of the funky Piranha Plant from the Super Mario Universe, the new set comes with a buildable green pipe and two coin elements. Once built, fans can use the green pipe as a display stand for the Piranha Plant, just like we see them in the Super Mario games. While the coins may not be of much use for display, they can still be a great memento for all Super Mario fans.

The Super Mario™ Piranha Plant features a flexible structure that allows fans to display it in several iconic poses. It can be posed to your liking by fiddling with the posable structures in its leaves, mouth, stalk, and head.

The complete dimensions of the new set are "23 cm (9 in.) high, 11 cm (4.5 in.) wide, and 17 cm (6.5 in.) deep."
