Here’s another insanely amazing Perler-beaded creation from lostmitten: the question mark block piggy bank! Lostmitten really got the appearance of the block spot-on.

Put coins and even paper bills inside! Or mushrooms and flowers and stars and leaves. Although they look fragile, the blocks are actually held together by contact cement. So if you get one, you can re-enact Mario’s block hitting antics. Or don’t. Yeah, just don’t.

If you’re afraid that Mario’s gonna come and hit your question mark block, you can fool him by using the brick block patterns on the other sides as its facade.

These coin blocks sell for $14. Really cheap for something so unique.
