I wish they made it so you could swap out Mario's head to give him different expressions. Plain old "Smilin' Mario" starts looking kinda creepy after a while. Anime dazed

My theory is that they'll make other figures with different expressions that can be swapped between figures simply by removing his hat. Mario only has so many expressions, it would be a waste to give them all away in one figure. I'm sure we'll also see things like a koopa, used "?" block, and exploding brick. Hopefully they'll also make Bowser (with gray bricks) and Luigi, too.

It's kind of sad. They killed off the name of the D-Arts line because of poor sales (reportedly due to lots of consumer complaints), but they're still using the same D-Arts construction for this and several other figures that are now being labeled under the SHF name. I wonder if this counts as false advertising on some level...

Already got mine on preorder and you can too. Hope Bandai tackles more of Nintendo's franchises I really like their Pokémon figurines and would like to see more from other franchises.

Phone me when you make a Luigi (with Luigi's Mansion accessories) and then I might be interested.
