Back in April, the Super Mario Bros. Movie captivated audiences and conquered the box office. Drawing inspiration from the beloved Nintendo video game franchise, Illumination’s adaptation perfectly captured the essence of a Super Mario movie. But the excitement didn’t fade away once gamers left the theaters. JAKKS Pacific, the renowned toy company, launched a line of action figures and toys based on the vibrant film. Now, they have just announced the arrival of wave two in their Super Mario Bros. Movie collection.
Wave two introduces four new five-inch figures, including Cat Mario, Tanooki Mario, Peach in her motorcycle attire, and Bowser’s trusted sidekick, Kamek. Additionally, the wave presents two new playsets: Bowser’s floating fortress with the main antagonist himself, and the Kong battle area featuring Donkey Kong. Moreover, fans can acquire mystery question mark boxes containing six random figures, such as the blue shell Koopa Troopa, a Goomba, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, Cat Mario, and Tanooki Mario. With wave two, JAKKS Pacific continues to expand their impressive Super Mario line, leaving us eager for more Mario-themed merchandise in the future. Perhaps we can expect figures like Fire Flower or Ice Flower Peach, Bowser with a piano, Kamek dressed as Peach, or even lesser-known characters like Spike. Furthermore, Mario’s room, complete with an NES, could become a delightful playset in an inevitable wave three.
Super Mario Mania Sweeps the Globe
Despite having been released over two months ago, The Super Mario Bros. Movie still holds moviegoers spellbound. Whether it’s Bowser’s uproarious love ballad to Peach, the stunning animation, or the countless nods to Mario’s illustrious past, the film serves as a near-perfect adaptation. Notably, it stands alone as the only movie to surpass the billion-dollar mark this year. The film marks the start of an eventful 2023 for the Mushroom Kingdom, with the highly anticipated releases of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG on the Nintendo Switch this fall. Coupled with JAKKS Pacific’s immensely popular toy line and LEGO’s Mario-themed products, Nintendo’s iconic plumber has transformed into a multi-billion dollar sensation. Although a sequel to the film is inevitable, fans can presently relish in reenacting the first movie with their new Mario-inspired toys.
