In celebration of the Xbox’s 25th anniversary, Mattel has announced a 3,509-piece, 1:1-scale buildable original Xbox through its premium Mattel Brick Shop brand. And yes, it also includes a buildable 1:1-scale Duke controller and features lights, sounds, and scenes from three different classic Xbox games. It’s available for preorder at a couple of different retailers for $329.99.
The three swappable game models are from Halo: Combat Evolved, Psychonauts, and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Mattel adds that “as builders press the controller’s buttons, hidden scenes from the three games come to life with illuminated lighting effects accompanied by its corresponding in-game soundtrack.” Meanwhile, a secret button combination triggers a unique lighting sequence.
The set also includes 12 NanoWorld figures – two each from Psychonauts and Morrowind, and eight from Halo.
No release date has been announced by Mattel, though Amazon lists the ship date as October 1. You can preorder from Amazon or Best Buy.
