Back in February, it was discovered Illumination's Super Mario Bros. movie would be getting a toy line created by Jakks Pacific.
At the time, Amazon Canada listed a 5-inch Toad figure and a 'Mini-World' van playset, but no other details were attached. Now, months later - Amazon has some new listings for Mario, Luigi, and Bowser. It seems the Bowser figure will be slightly different in size and weight.
There are still no images, but according to each description, these action figures will contain "premium details and textures", "up to 12 points of hidden articulation", a "movie accessory" and come in collectors packaging. Mattel also appears to be working on Super Mario movie products - with an Amazon listing in August suggesting a Mario movie UNO set is on the way. Learn more in our previous story.
Super Mario fans will finally get a first look at the Super Mario Bros. animated movie in a special teaser trailer premiering at New York Comic-Con on October 6th (aka next week). Mario's voice actor Chris Pratt has already seen it and said he was "blown away". Earlier this week, a blank but verified Super Mario Movie Twitter account was also spotted, and it's already got more than 15K followers.

This is the one time that I will be avoiding toy leaks, I want to be surprised.
I have no idea what to expect, but I know it will be weird ...I just hope it will be the good kind of weird.
Thought we had pictures for just a second, but ah well we have the teaser in less than a week now.
Also, super random, but where did that image in the article of Mario and all the toads come from? I'm racking my brain but don't remember it from anything lol
And the merchandising onslaught begins. Yogurt would be proud.

Have not been looking forward to movie like this in decades.
'Hidden' articulation gets my vote. Plenty of decent figures already available, but the articulation points are on full view and bring down the overall look.
@Snatcher
Yep me too, this is the one time i want to be surprised.
I hope it's a worthy follow up to the original. I've been waiting 30 years to see where that storyline goes next.
Still gutted that they've recast Bob Hoskins though.
What did I do to end up in the timeline where Mario has two movies and Zelda has none? Though going off this, if there was a Zelda CG movie, Link would probably be voiced by Seth Rogen.
Nice toys, any chance of a new Mario 3d platform game, over five years since the last one.
And being fair you making tonnes of money and sold over 100 million consoles, millions of games and controllers etc.
come on you have gone into sleep mode with you in house AAA studios.
Then again with the old boss gone, bless him, it’s all about the quick buck and share holders now.
@Shepdawg1 moichendizing moichendizing!
@Matroska please, don't jinx any possible movies like that.
I hope the Bowser toy will be a little bigger than the normal miniature sized ones. Nintendo needs to release a life-sized Bowser plush. I'd cuddle that day and night.
