Bandai posted this Super Mario teaser on its S.H. Figuarts Facebook page. Perhaps their claim of the world’s first action figure of Super Mario is a bit dubious – the license has been out there and tons of product have been sold – but it’s certainly the first super-articulated figure of Mario. That means all the jumping, wall-bounding, brick-smashing, mushroom-eating, and Goomba-crushing action is coming your way.
But be ready to shell out some gold coins for this version of Mario. Other Figuarts figures sell for $30 and up, with a pretty tight after-market driving prices higher. Best bet is to hop on a pre-order when they go up. We’ll be looking.
