Good luck, good sir! There are some listings on ebay right now for the action figures and the police car. Here is the link to the police car: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-MARIO-BROS-movie-crash-action-police-car-action-figure-1993-Nintendo-ERTL-/190756422687?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigu...

I really didn't care for the cartoons that much, as they weren't like the movie. I would have liked to seen a grittier cartoon, based on the movie in the style of say, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons, or better yet, Batman: The Animated Series. I think that's the kind of Mario Bros cartoo...

POSTER SCANS/PHOTOS STILL NEEDED I would'a thought you guys might own a movie poster or two lol :p But for updates, and for you billbot85, I have added the ERTL Toy Catalogs to the Merchandise pages. http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/merchandise/books.html Thanks so much Roareye. But unfortunately...

Hey all! So, I know October has come and gone, but I have been wondering if anyone here is a fan of going to hunted house attractions around Halloween? This has actually become one of my new passions, being a haunter. This past September and October, I worked at my first official haunted house calle...

Cannibal is awesome! And I'm having a great time choreographing the show, it's funny as all hell. The actor we have playing Liane the horse just cracks me up. Shpadoinkle!

billbot85

It's pretty upsetting, considering I love Hostess cupcakes. I may pick some up soon. Tastycake is awesome, btw. I always loved their Butterscotch Krimpets, which were referenced a lot in a childhood novel I liked called Maniac Magee. Little Debbie is also great, especially their Swiss Cake Rolls and...

billbot85

You really are obsessed with this commercial, aren't you? :P I guess it just bugs the hell out of me that I can't find it, haha. It's what got me hooked on the toyline in the first place when I saw it back '93. I'm sure it'll come up someday. There seems to be a lot of interest on the internet for ...

billbot85

Not sure if I'm ready for the Wii U yet. I can't afford a new game console at the moment, and I can't say I'm too excited about it. The game pad looks really cool, but I'm not sure exactly how it's gonna work as a controller for the system. I'd rather plat it at my friend's house first to see how I ...

billbot85

Heh, amen to that. It's just such an outrageous charge for a commercial made in 1993. They charge even more for 80's and 70's commercials. I paid only $30 for a LARGE collection of commercials from the 90's on DVD from videomercials.com. That was the DVD that had the one SMB toy commercial that I se...

billbot85

So far I've contacted Nintendo inquiring about the SMB toy commercial, but I doubt they would have records on it. I also contacted http://www.usatvads.com to see if they can find the commercial. However, if USA TV Ads does find it, they will charge me $395.00 to buy it, which I think is kind of a ri...

billbot85

This is so awesome!!! Great condition too! Where did you find these moviemaker??? I always liked the Snifit outfits from the movie. Thanks for sharing

billbot85

Well, Ms. Dooley got back to me after asking around the company. Unfortunately, no information on the toyline or advertisements were found. She asked several members who have been with the company before 1993, and none of them had anything to do with the toys. She recommended that I contact the comp...

billbot85

It's a real shame that he has to retire now. I always loved and respected him as an actor, even if he despised his role as Mario. But it's definitely for the better that he retires from acting at this point. I think I'll watch every movie he appeared in to honor his career. Watching Long Good Friday...

billbot85

I guess I'll post this here. About a year or so ago I had posted about my production of Reefer Madness that I was involved with at my college. Well, the same theatre company at UMass Dartmouth, 20 Cent Fiction, is now putting on a production of Cannibal: The Musical! this December!! I'm actually cho...

billbot85

So I was able to touch base with someone in the marketing department for Tomy (Tomy is part of RC2 Corporation, which owns ERTL). Her name is Anna Dooley, and she knew about the Super Mario Bros toyline. She said she would speak to a few people in her department that might have been around when the ...

billbot85

awesome, thanks a bunch dude!

billbot85

Should be in this section. Unfortunately, no image shows up, nor can I click on any link.

billbot85

I don't know how far along you got with your custom figure seeing as how old this post is, but an old Mad Max figure from the Road Warrior may be a decent start for your Dinohatten Cop. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41crObyc5IL._SL500_AA300_.jpg That's a great figure! Unfortunately I've had...

billbot85

Thanks for fixing up the sections. Is it possible to fix up the section that has the ERTL brochure for the Mario toys? I've been having trouble accessing it. Thanks!!

billbot85

I managed to contact Tomy/ERTL and was forwarded to their marketing department. Had to leave a voicemail since the person wasn't there. I'll keep everyone posted if this ends up helping us find more information on the SMB toyline.

billbot85

I can't wait for part 2 of the David L. Snyder interview to be up!! Is it coming anytime soon?

billbot85

I'm still on the hunt for the other toy commercial featuring the police car and Devo Chamber. I suppose if I could get in touch from someone from ERTL who might know who did the advertising for their products, I might be able to track down the other commercial. Redstar, I think you had mentioned tha...

billbot85

If I had any of these toys, I would never take them out of the box. Nope, they'd go on the shrine I built to the movie, NRFB. I know where you're coming from. One of my police car sets is MISB and I have a set of the action figs MOC. They do display pretty nicely. However, I like the collection I h...

billbot85

I agree Phlibbit. The police car is my favorite toy in that line as well (considering I own four of them now, haha). Glad you like the video. I'm hoping that we can find more vids or collections that feature the SMB toys. Draw them to the website here, perhaps.

billbot85

I came across this abstract fan video today featuring Jurassic Park toys, Mass Effect 3, and Super Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi in the Crash Action Police Car! Although the video is weird, its cool to see other fan vids featuring SMB Movie toys.

billbot85

One thing I love doing is researching where the actors and crew from SMB are doing now. Its interesting to see what other roles they've played, whether TV or film, or if they have even moved on to writing or directing! Also, its fun to see if they make guest appearances on your favorite TV shows. Fo...

billbot85

Is this thread still going? I've turned 27 today, haha!

billbot85

I agree, there must be a director's cut out there. It would be like a quest for the Holy Grail, but hopefully no Frenchmen will be holding it captive this time....

billbot85

LOVING the interview so far! I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Hoping the second part will have tons of more juicy details about the film. I'm glad he's agrees that a new cut of the film should be re-released.

billbot85

Great interview as always!! Love the picture of her with the goomba, haha. Still looking forward to that David L. Snyder interview. Thanks for sharing!

billbot85

Totally wish I could make it to these. I hope they go well. Gives me more of an incentive to host a screening in Providence.

billbot85

I definitely like the 12 inch talking figures of the Marios, but... why is Luigi African American? I mean, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it, but, I think John Leguizamo is Hispanic... I think that might be the work of a practical joker. Yeah I always wondered that too...I have the ...

billbot85

this is wonderful. I just retweeted it from SMB Archive's twitter and shared it on facebook. I wonder if Mojo recently recorded this whole song or was it recorded back during filming?

billbot85

When Mario and Luigi are first brought into the police station, I swear that I hear dogs barking in the background. Perhaps dino-police dogs?

billbot85

hmmm host a screening eh? That would be really cool actually. What would I have to do?

billbot85

That is really cool I wish the Koopa figure came with the mask. Nice find. Are you going to paint them? Unfortunately they are not mine. They belong to Mr. Christie, who actually interviewed the people who were working on the heads for the figures. He plans to send more pictures to me or the site a...

billbot85

I hope its not too soon to post these, but here they are: The prototype heads for the Super Mario Bros ERTL toyline! Take a moment to notice the de-evolved "Koopa Mask" that was supposed to come with the Koopa figure

billbot85

I finally listened to the first Sequelcast episode interviewing Redstar. It was really good, I definitely enjoyed it! I hope you guys will be able to get a documentary made, I was really excited to hear about that!! It would be incredible if Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo agree to get on board.

billbot85

Great video Phlibbit and Redstar!!1 I totally wish I could've been there for the LA and Wilmington screenings. Makes me wish you guys could book screenings in Boston or Providence, RI, because I know for a fact I wouldn't miss those!! Congrats guys on all of the screening events. An thanks for all o...

billbot85

I'm sorry to say that I won't be making it to the Wilmington screening tonight. I wasn't able to plan out the road trip to go down there. But I hope it goes well, best wishes!!
