Nuremberg Toy Fair – Bandai Shows SH Figuarts Super Mario

under Video Game Toy News

The Nuremberg Toy Fair is going on. There will be stuff we can show, and some stuff we can’t. Many companies will be looking to put a lid on pics coming from the show leading up to New York Toy Fair in a few weeks. One of the things that has been revealed is the new S.H. Figuarts Super Mario Bros. Figures and sets coming from Bandai and Tamashii Nations. Figures include Super Mario and a Goomba, while play set pieces include brick blocks, a question mark block, coins and warp pipes. Pics come courtesy of Bluefin Tamashii Nations.

Read on to see the images.

    Which is a good thing because there are a few MPs I will need to pick up before Mario anyway.

    Interesting, I hope it does well enough to warrant Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Bowser, Koopas, Bowesers kids, Yoshi, Wario as well as more Metroid and Zelda (Samus without armor, Ridley, Mother Brain, Ganon, Princess Zelda)

    Very nice, the prices aren't as high as other Figuarts figures. That probably means he's going to be tiny, but still, $24.99 is a great price.

    Well...far from Super Mario's first figure, BUT...

    I'm still on board, and will be getting the figure and both sets. Is this up for pre-order anywhere yet?

    Has Mario ever had an actual poseable figure though?

    The Toy Biz figure really stretches the definition of "poseable" though.

    None that I am aware of currently. Bluefin says they will be available in June.

    World's first Mario action figure, eh? I'd like to know which world they are referring to.

    Regardless, this will be mine. Hopefully they'll do a Link so we can have the World's First Link action figure, too.

    Where are you guys getting the "World's First" bit? Neither Bluefin nor Bandai are soliciting this as the first Mario figure. In fact, even in this thread we've only been speculating that is this the first "poseable" Mario figure. But I guess if you want to be truly accurate, you could say this is the first super-articulated Mario action figure.

    Hell, he's the mascot of one of the most successful gaming companies in Japan. I'm pretty sure Bandai would know about the other Mario toys.

    It says in the top right corner of the picture--"World's First Mario Action Figure!".

    Well, this will he the first GREAT Super Mario figure

    The only real one we had before this would have been the ToyBiz Mario Kart one, and he kinda sucked

    I'm super stoked for this, I haven't been this excited over a toy in a long time. Hope it leads to an entire line of Mario characters. At the very least I'd need:

    Luigi
    Bowser
    Peach (w/ Toad)
    Yoshi (make him rideable!)
    Wario
    Donkey Kong
    Diddy Kong

    Birdo and Waluigi would be nice too, but anything after that would just be gravy.

    Looks decent, here's hoping for a variety of Nintendo characters under the Figurarts line in the future. I'd be pumped for more Mario characters, Samus, Link, & Fox.

    There was also a Mario action figure from the fast food chain Wendy's back in 2002, which is actually pretty decent - better than the ToyBiz version even. Regardless, yes, this new figure looks fantastic and I'll gladly add it to my meager collection of Mario figures.

    Thank you for the clarification. I wasn't looking at the poster ad, just the PR.

    I guess it would depend on a person's definition of "action figure", then, whether or not Bandai's claim is true.

  23. bmorr's Avatar bmorr says

    I don't really care about Mario, but if they made Star Fox WITH his ship, that'd be pretty rad.

    ....Hmmmm, not a big deal... rather see some more anime shows being made into figures.
