Cancelled Mario's World figures similar to SMB Movie figures

Postby ultimateemail5000 » Tue Feb 17, 2015 5:40 am

I don't know if anyone's seen these before. But back in 2000 there were cancelled Mario's World action figures. Funny enough, the Mario and Luigi figures come with weapons that look very similar to their movie incarnation figures.

I am only posting this in this thread because of the similarities of weapons to the movie figures. For more info check out this site. http://afistfulofsuck.blogspot.com/search/label/video%20games

Ah, how I wish those had come out.

Another place to see stuff about it is the Video Game Memorabilia Museum, run by fellow Nintendo Force contributor Nightram. There's a forum post with more pictures here.

In fact, he recently got his hands on one of the prototypes (different figure from the line, I believe), which he shows off here.

I wanted Mario figures when I was a kid so badly, and while the SMB movie figures were good enough for me at the time (I had no idea there was more than the six main figures, though. I blame lousy distribution), they came at a kind of bad time for me to get such a thing: "Too old" to play with toys, too young to not give a crap when someone says things like that.

I actually watch nightram and asked him about those yesterday after seeing his latest video. I remember seeing those figures in toyfare magazine in 99 or 00 and couldn't wait. Unfortunately we know they never saw light of day.

They were in the magazine, pretty sure it was a summer issue in 99 or 2000.
