Here is another potential figure for the Dinohattan cop. He's got the right kind of police helmet. I'll probably try and find him on ebay.

Another option is to use the leather jacket from this Angel 6 inch action figure. But the jacket might be way too long on a 4 1/2 inch figure.

billbot85

thanks! However what I'd really like to do is get a figure that has a long leather coat as a base for the police jacket, or a removable leather jacket from another figure that would fit on 4 1/2 inch figure. Another option for a base figure would involve a Koopa figure, since he already had the doub...

I have considered trying to make a custom Dinohattan cop figure, but I would need a good police action figure to use as the base model. So far, I think this Robocop figure is the best choice, even though its a female character. She already has the police helmet. I think my biggest challenge would be...

The funny thing is, so far the article has 192 comments and counting. Not only is that a staggering number, but it's also pretty staggering for an IGN article as well. Especially one that has very, very little substance. I think that shows that for whatever reason--people love talking about the SMB...

billbot85

haha yeah that would be a great idea for the Devo Chamber! My cousin had a playset like the transporter (but it was circular, and I think by ERTL). How about this for a potential SMB Step Van custom? http://www.megolike.com/ljn.htm It's the S.W.A.T. Team Van by LJN. Really hard to find. But I think ...

billbot85

Yeah this guy's been trying to sell them for over a year. Always have him on my watch list, but not something I'm interested in right now. Nevertheless, they are the only ones for sale around the internet right now

billbot85

Why might it have been you? I might've annoyed him since he blocked me from commenting on his youtube vids about a year ago. Yesterday I posted on his site on videogamemm.com saying how I managed to get 2 police car sets. Although that probably wouldn't be a real reason to set all videos to private...

Either way, it doesn't appear they can be viewed any more.

huh. looks like he did. He set them all to private. I hope it wasn't because of me :-/

congrats on getting the job Phlibbit!! I'm currently job searching and hoping to get a teaching position for the fall. Good luck with the new job and hope to hear back from ya soon!

billbot85

Yes, the title says it all! I am performing in this musical this weekend at my college. Here is a link to the facebook event page if anyone is interested in knowing what its about :D http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=172513232772389 Also, here is a clip from the movie version of the musical. ...

I'm still looking forward to the interviews with David L. Snyder and Richard Edson to go up. I can imagine David has an amazing archive of pictures!

billbot85

Just spotted these 3 posters on ebay in Germany. All screenshots from the film :D Not sure how big they are though... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250768277176&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-Mario-Bros-POSTER-aus-dem-Film-DIN-A4-/250768279196?pt=DE_P...

Wow. This guy is a real piece of work huh? Its not like you guys are asking a huge favor of him, all you want him to do is properly cite the material used here for his article. It was hardly an "in-depth" look if you ask me. Its like he was mocking the idea of the movie having depth at all...

billbot85

I've had TONS lol, being the big fan that I am :D I'll briefly name off some I can remember! *I had a dream I went to the dollar store and there was a whole bunch of free ERTL Super Mario Bros. figures! :D That was an awesome dream as a kid! Especially since I never got The Crash Action Police Car ...

billbot85

Me and a few others on this site own the soundtrack with Roxette and the other songs from the movie. Alan Silvestri's soundtrack to the movie is on another extremely rare cd. I think a couple guys here have it. http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-Brothers-Mercy-Soundtrack/dp/B0026BZNNK/ref=wl_it_dp_o?...

billbot85

awesome! Will be definitely looking forward to this one. Also, will the David Snyder interview be up soon? Looking forward to that one too.

billbot85

Loved the interview. I especially love those shots of the goombas at the bar haha. Its awesome that he and the other goombas got to jam out at the bar!!

also loved seeing the toys on an actual brochure!!! Makes me want to find more SMB stuff haha.

billbot85

Welcome to the forum Peach Blossom!! I know what you mean by being surrounded by people that constantly criticize the movie (half of them who had never even seen it) to the point that it's considered standard social etiquette. You will definitely like it here, this site is chock full of awesome stuf...

billbot85

WOW! My hat goes off to you, Phlibbit. Thanks for uploading all of those cards, its awesome to see the complete set!!

billbot85

Such a good update! I have only seen that toy commercial once, just once! I remember seeing it thinking it was so cool because it was the day after I saw the movie. I always watched Nick for it, but it never came on ever again. It just aired once. I'm so glad you found that commercial. Haha same st...

billbot85

No problem Phlibbit! I'm glad I finally was able to contribute something to the website and forum community here (for a while i felt like a free-loader haha). I used to think that internet forums were not for me, but I got to say, this is my favorite forum yet!! I always look forward to the new stuf...

billbot85

yeah I was considering buying one of these. I believe this is the same guy who sold the goomba busts to Howlrunner (who did an amazing job painting them). I think you are able to get both goomba heads for the listed price, which is a pretty good deal

billbot85

YES! They were in the $5 bin at my local Walmarts too!! AND were pictured in the bargain itself as well! I also found them on the shelf at my Target. It's great having them so visible to the public now. I agree that this movie is becoming more popular (at least on a cult status scale, maybe bigger)....

billbot85

Hey did anyone here manage to score the police car set that was on ebay not too long ago? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=250730987754&si=0GXfMiEANXrNhDEIMGeQR6pcgtg%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT I was hoping to get it consideri...

billbot85

Solid interview!! I loved seeing all the shots of the Koopa stage 2 prosthetic head (one of my favorite parts about the film, its just so menacing). I had always wished the de-evolved Koopa had more scenes, like an extended fight scene. It's too bad that all of that work only got a few seconds of sc...

billbot85

loving all the updated additions! Pretty cool that Mark McCoy helped detail the police cars. I actually remember finding the article by Tyme while googling around one day, and glad that its here!! These all really help fill in on how the media felt about this film during the time and getting to know...

billbot85

this film looks so mint, thanks for sharing these screenshots!! You even have the step van and all! Will the finished film be uploaded online for viewing? If som looking forward to it

billbot85

happy birthday Zack!!

billbot85

haha it definitely is when the bobomb blew!! Don't know if I'd bid on it due to its cost and fragile condition. I hope a goomba costume or another police uniform appears for sale again.

billbot85

That's exactly what they are, with the record-player whatsit thing. I'm not sure if the ones I have are busted or if it's just the passage of time on the voices, but the voices are skewed. You can hear what they're saying but they don't sound like they should.[/quote] I would definitely be intereste...

billbot85

nice job man!! haha I love spore. I really like the police car you did (since they are my fav in the film)

billbot85

yeah the hair looks very much like Koopa's hairstyle haha. The Max Headroom British film is up in parts on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uGD5Lf3YXU Its really good actually! And I've been watching the tv series version from netflix. Now that I think of it, Super Mario Bros. is very cyberp...

billbot85

I would totally join in on that, but its not like i have anything that you guys don't already own lol. So far the police car is the rarest piece of merchandise that I own from that movie, and still hoping to find more

billbot85

ok here we go: 1. What stunts did you perform in the prison scenes? I'm guessing there is much more prison footage than what made it to the final cut of the film, because Mark Miller was shot flicking a cigarette at the Mario's in their cell. 2. Would you be able to give any advice to someone trying...

billbot85

This question might be redundant with the other Yoshi interview, but... 1. Was there any similarities, connection to, or inspiration in the design for Yoshi by the Jurassic Park movie being filmed at the time? 2. What did the original concept deign art look like for Yoshi? Was it originally meant to...

billbot85

Loved the interview! Its great seeing more positive perspectives on the film, and that the "he's not better than my boss" ad lib was kept in that deleted scene! The fact that she made longterm friends with some of those people on that set is really amazing. Good stuff.

billbot85

I have to ask: Does he remember filming the rap number with Fisher Stevens in the Boom Boom Bar that is pictured on the promo card? How long was it and was it dubbed over with "Walk the Dinosaur"? Also, going along with the possible extended scenes that they were in, was there an extended ...

billbot85

Considering the major makeover the Dinohattan cars had to be given to fit the overall Dystopian society of Dinohattan, was it difficult for the actors to drive these vehicles? (Such as the Marios in the Police car). Also, did any of these cars or any other set pieces get archived or stored? Or did a...

billbot85

Going off of what Redstar's asking, I wanted to ask: There is a brief shot in the "Making of SMB" featurette that shows the crew filming a goomba head blow up in front of a blue screen. Did a goomba get turned into slime in the Devo Chamber scene as well? Or was that another action scene i...
