Dude, if I had that playset, I would totally stop motion the meltdown scene, re-animating it, AGAIN.

Oh yeah, did anybody on this forum buy the SMB movie press kit guide on ebay they had up a couple days ago? I was going to get it but I'm to low on funds.

Does anyone have the Moviestars to Microchips book on the making of the movie? I've seen a few copies online, been really wanting to get it. Anything cool in it?!

Postby **Phlibbit** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 8:59 pm

Of course--I have it. Definitely worth it if you can find it cheap. Lots of good behind the scenes info and pics.

So, Mario's favorite quote is "nobody touches my tools", cool

if you look carefuly, the merchandise take elements from the deleted scenes and the second early draft script

for example, the Story Casette says "the heart is a bubbling stew of primordial ooze", like the second draft, and the dialoge of the crazy old lady from the cassette is similar to the draft

awesome

Which of course was deleted from the movie lol I always was like "he never says that"

Makes me wonder where Koopa's line "I guess I'm not a good guy" would have been if anywhere..

I thought he said "I'm not such a bad guy" when he was talking to the King. It's either a deleted line, or they messed up with the quote.

Zack · Postby **Zack** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 1:57 am

That's probably about right lol they messed up

I love this book!!! Even though it's obviously for younger kids, it offers explanations, behind the scenes photos, history and other things, some of which we know, some that we didn't and some cool trivia about the making of the film. I definitely recommend it if you can find it cheap. It originally sold for $6.95, It was $4.40 something with shipping lol so like $11, not bad for a 16 year old book.

in some photos Koopa looks like the Joker as he appear in The Dark Knight

-a logo from the koopa troopas
-the movie on laserdisc
-i think there are some articles from the movie

i think the only SMB movie related product i had, other than the movie, was a t-shirt that had a slightly scary picture of a De-evolved Koopa mugshot and it said something like "Join Koopa" i think. I used it as my Pajama shirt when i was little.

PS: Its up you you guys if you want to post a pic of what im talking about, im not asking anybody.

billbot85 · Postby **billbot85** » Fri Jan 29, 2010 8:49 am

That's awesome! My buddy had a t-shirt with Yoshi from the movie. It had his name, and showed him eating big blocks or bricks with his tongue.

Its funny because I got him to admit that he had that shirt once. Most of the time he would deny owning such a thing. :lol:

billbot85 · Postby **billbot85** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 11:58 am

Nice!! There are some pages in that helping prove there are deleted scenes right? I'm actually getting a big package soon of SMB merchandise. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures when I get it.

The merchandising for this movie was intense. While Mario has always been marketable, it's just astounding the things they presumed would sell because of the movie.

Which is a shame, really.

I found this spanish super mario novel

billbot85 · Postby **billbot85** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:16 am

haha love it! Especially the artwork with Luigi looking behind his back.

I found a French website that has a thread on the merchandise, pictures and all. I had to sign up to view the pictures, so let me know if you guys can't view it.

Also, some of these photos look like they are Zack's :?:

Perusing eBay auctions and found two items that might be of interest to anyone here:

UK Quad Movie Poster

and

Japanese movie programme

The movie brochure features scenes and characters from the movie, so it might depict deleted scenes. The poster is about $30 and the programme $16, though the poster has a "make an offer" option so I imagine it could be bought for something more appropriate. Thoughts?

Postby **Phlibbit** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 12:09 am

I...have the Japanese move program. It's really cool, haven't looked at it in a while. The text is all in japanese of course...any easy ways to get it translated? Like maybe a picture to text thing?

So no indication of deleted scenes or other interesting imagery you can draw from what's shown?

I have a contact that does a lot of translation for me, though I try to limit what I ask of him to the most pertinent information. Take some scans/photos of the programme and either upload it to the site, here, or message me with them and I'll see about forwarding them to him if you feel a translation is important enough.

Postby **Phlibbit** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:10 am

I think the thing may have some interesting nuggets of info we haven't heard about before.

Not sure on the deleted scenes stuff, although it does have some interesting production photos.

It also has some really (really) good stuff on behind the scenes/making-of, actor/director/producer profiles, etc.

I'll make it one of the first things I scan when I get to that section.

Postby **Redstar** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 9:18 am

Good to hear, though every time we bring up a potential find or mention something movie-related you always comment that you already have it... You've been holding back on us for too long! :evil:

Worldslayer · Postby **Worldslayer** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 3:48 am

well look what I found

I actually paid 15 bucks for this one

Postby **Redstar** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 4:37 am

Nice find. Is that a record?

Worldslayer · Postby **Worldslayer** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 7:11 am

yes, it is a record. I haven't listened to it yet. It's a Picture Disc....really nice

Postby **Redstar** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 7:14 am

Haha. Man, they really did push the merchandise for this movie! Hold onto that; I'm sure it's one of the more rare collectibles related to the movie.

PowerGlove79 · Postby **PowerGlove79** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 12:54 am

You guys wanted it, now you got it, I have uploaded a video to youtube of me demonstrating how the toy devo gun works, it's only a minute long, but hopefully it gives you guys all the info ya need, I hope you enjoy it. Sorry I haven't been on the threads for a while, but I hope this makes up for it.

Postby **Phlibbit** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 1:12 am

Yay, great video! Now I don't have to do one!

The awesome parts about all of this is that the board seems really enamored with the toys and between you and Zack, we have pretty darn good video segments for everything. Thanks!

PowerGlove79 · Postby **PowerGlove79** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:29 am

Maybe me and Zack should join forces and start a mini Super Mario Bros. The Movie Museum. There are still toys that I don't have that I search for to this day. But I appreciate the compliment. I love this forum and this site, and I wanted to share the wealth with the true fans.

billbot85 · Postby **billbot85** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 3:21 pm

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

Zack · Postby **Zack** » Fri Oct 29, 2010 2:00 pm

ahh I haven't posted in awhile. That's kinda funny that it has all those cheap generic laser sounds

Thanks for posting!

Makes me want to get my stuff back out and play with it a bit. Been a bit busy with life lately!

PowerGlove, I need your assistance. Could you make a decent 10-20 second sound-clip of the Devo Gun's first SFX (sounds like "b'dyeeow, b'dyeeow")?

I was watching your YouTube video and I realized that it's pretty much the same sound made by the Ghost Dematerializer in The Ghost Busters, the SFX of which I CANNOT find at all for the prop replica I have planned. If you can make an MP3 file of it, I can slow it down with Audacity and use it.

Now that I've suitably driven this off-topic, let's all go back to SMB moichandising. Where de real money comes from!

billbot85 · Postby **billbot85** » Sat Nov 13, 2010 1:56 pm

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 interested in what the two talking dolls sound like, considering i kinda want them now haha. Phlibbit is it possible for you to do a video showing them talking? If not, no worries, I'm just curious.

Hi, I'm a Mario collector. I've visted this site a few times in the past but have never posted until now. I'm here to show the Mario movie stuff I have. Hope you all enjoy!

My favorite collectible I own, the Devo Gun toy:

A giant cardboard movie promotional display still in the shipping box complete with instructions and everything (this is the display Philibbit posted a photo of on the first page of this topic):

The Devo Chamber and Police Car both sealed and in awesome condition:

One of the movie's trailers:

Three sealed boxes of the cards:

The action figures:

The soundtrack on tape:

A Yoshi pin on card:

The Golden book:

A near complete set of the cards loose:

Of course, two videos and the DVD:

Hope I didn't miss anything. For those interested, you can see my full collection here.

Postby **Phlibbit** » Tue Nov 16, 2010 1:18 am

Thanks for posting! Nice to see what the box/case for the film stand-up looked like, I figured it just came in some plain box or something. Cool!

Postby **Redstar** » Tue Nov 16, 2010 1:52 am

Great collection there, collector! The color-scheme of Yoshi on that pin just kills me. xD

If you're a real collector I'd recommend tracking down the foreign releases, which have better qualities and some special features. The German DVD release of the movie has a "Making of" featurette you can't see anywhere else... Unless, of course, this very site.
