Back in February, it was discovered Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. movie would be getting a toy line created by Jakks Pacific.
At the time, Amazon Canada listed a 5-inch Toad figure and a ‘Mini-World’ van playset, but no other details were attached. Now, months later – Amazon has some new listings for Mario, Luigi and Bowser. It seems the Bowser figure will be slightly different in size and weight.
There are still no images, but according to each description, these action figures will contain “premium details and textures”, “up to 12 points of hidden articulation”, a “movie accessory” and come in collectors packaging. Mattel also appears to be working on Super Mario movie products – with an Amazon listing in August suggesting a Mario movie UNO set is on the way. Learn more in our previous story.
Super Mario fans will finally get a first look at the Super Mario Bros. animated movie in a special teaser trailer premiering at New York Comic-Con on October 6th (aka next week). Mario’s voice actor Chris Pratt has already seen it and said he was “blown away”. Earlier this week, a blank but verified Super Mario Movie Twitter account was also spotted, and it’s already got more than 15K followers.
