Not so long ago there was a Super Mario range of McDonald's Happy Meal toys in the UK; restaurants near Nintendo Life HQ reported increased sales to late 20s / early 30s bearded men, some of whom had no children in tow to justify their visit. We even did an unboxing.
The same wave of enthusiasm for cheap food and collectible plastic toys is set to engulf Malaysia, too, as a fresh range of Super Mario toys are available in the country from today. Importantly, they're different toys to those we recently saw in the UK, which naturally fills us with envy. As you can see above Toad and Luigi miss out in favour of Mario in various outfits, including his snazzy Boomerang and Penguin threads. Princess Peach also makes an appearance after her absence in the UK, too.
Have you had your fill of Super Mario Happy Meal toys in your country over the past year, or are you green with envy at the variations now available in Malaysia?
Thanks to Rei for the tip.

Looks like they've got the same "Mario jumping out of a pipe" that we did in the UK. The others looks great too!
US please! I personally loved the old N64 Taco Bell toys and promotion. I wish I could find that stuff...sadly it may have been trashed long ago by my mom. I had several of the pog like things and most if not all of the toys from that one. Yoshi was and still is my favorite.
I want Penguin Mario. Also, they should have used the chicken suit from the beta of NSMBWii. It would have been much more hilarious.
These look loads better than the ones we got in the UK recently, though 5. Mario with the Goal Pole puts some seriously disturbing images into one's head!
You are welcome. Glad to share the news. I'm getting it all
@McHaggis
I came in like a goal pole...
@S-Miyahon lol "Your purpose of visit?" -uuh, McDonald's!
Hmmm Thai-fries w/ Ketchup !!!
Woot!! Will be getting the whole set. I'm willing to help get a few for fellow Nintendo Lifers.
My little one will be excited. He may get fat, but he'll be excited!
I'm supprised with the big year of Luigi that theres not even one Luigi figure in that bunch, or toad for that matter.
I would start eating or at least buying McDonalds for these if they came to Canada!
Some of those look better. There were a few terrible ones in the UK selection
haha, they make the ones I got here in mcdonalds look like crap!
@Sherman LOL!!!! Hilarious!
I'm a Malaysian but currently residing in Canada. DAMN I wanna go back home now.
If this makes its way to chile, it would be finally a reason to eat at mcdonalds.
The Malaysian version of pipe Mario has a base according to the picture, maybe that means he won't be erm... pop-able?
Want. So. Bad.
Nice, good for you if you live in Malaysia. Too bad I don't eat at McDonalds or live in Malaysia.
You can't buy them seperately in other countries?
In Malaysia you can just buy the toy without those happy meals.
Malaysian here but... Nintendo's barely known much here. Well, Mario's universal so that kinda negates that anyway. I've already got Figuarts Mario preordered though.
Strip Pole Mario lol
My wife enjoys McDonalds and brought me back a Mario and Luigi on separate occasions. They now stand either side of my prized Mario Kart trophy in the lounge!
The fireball is glitching. That boomerang is also very huge.
Sweet little toys, I still remember the SMB3 stuff from the 80s. Would be nice if they brought these to NA.
Wow, some of these are awesome. Start selling these in the right hemisphere!
@BertoFlyingFox yeah I definitely remember my SMB3 toys from Mc's back in the day. Won't ever be days like that again for Mario fans.
Aw, I was hoping to have an excuse to go to McDonalds. Oh well, whenever some nice Nintendo Happy Meals arrive in Canada, my body will be ready.
Man, the toys back in the days were awesome like this, Shame now they are cheap knock offs :/

Girl is sharp.
We already got them here in the Philippines last month.. them toys sold like hotcakes.. those 8 happy meals i bought on the first day were well worth it..
Is it true that if your kids collect them all they get a special insulin pen made to look like Link's crossbow?
With Yoshi they managed to make something worse than the Super Mario RPG version. The clown feet make him look the new yoshi island one though.
I'd go just to buy the toys, you can still do that right? It's been a while since I've been to a McD's...
That is, if they come to the US.
