A Look Back At The Toybiz Mario Kart 64 Action Figures!

For a character as old and as iconic as Mario, there really aren't a lot of good action figures of him out there. While many Mario figures exist, most of them are basically lightly posable figurines, or static figures. Nowadays, figures like the Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo figures and the SH Figuarts Mario line basically cover anything you would ever want from a posable Mario line, but before they came out that really wasn't a thing.
That is, outside of the line of action figures by Toybiz based off of the game Mario Kart 64! This set continues to be praised for being the greatest Mario figure set of all time, so let's talk about them!

    Fun trivia fact, ToyBiz was owned by the same man who produced many pre-MCU Marvel movies and before it was defunct it was renamed to Marvel Toys. Marvel's Mario Kart 64.

    Thank you for the in depth review of this line. I remember buying the Mario and Bowser (which i still have mind in condition today) from toys r us back in '99. I remember calling Toybiz during that time and asking if they were coming out with Peach and Toad. The customer service rep said they were thinking of it but unfortunately it never came to fruition. I've always dreamed about having all of the characters from this game. I used to love this game and would play it all of the time.

    I guess Peach and Toad would be hard to articulate because they don't have visible legs. Toad's feet are connected to his "diaper" with no legs, so it probably would be hard to do leg movement. And Peach's dress couldn't be articulated either.

    When it comes to Peach and Toads absence, I was just under the assumption that Toad's arms and feet were too small to reach the car. Toad also lacks legs so they couldn't bend like the others making his sitting position odd. As for Peach, her dress makes her radically different from the others and it likely proved to be too cumbersome to give her articulation with the dress in the way, as it covers most of her body.

  • @disposable_income_andy

    I think Toad could've possibly worked if he had different leg joints that didn't cut into his sculpt (give the illusion his feet move around like they did on the renders while in reality they're on wheel or disc pieces inside and they can slide back and forth), but I do think he would have trouble with reaching his kart, especially as he'd need to sit. Maybe they could've given him some booster seat which would make his more distinct but at the same time, I doubt they'd do it for him as they didn't for anyone else. I think Peach's limbs might be too fragile even ignoring the dress, I imagine many of them would be missing gloves or hands nowadays if they were to do her like they did Yoshi, someone else with thin arms. And yeah, no way they're giving her a plastic dress for a figure who needs to sit in a kart while also stand next to it, meaning they'd have to give her a cloth dress, making her even more radically different.

In the episode, the Mario figure used was based on the same game, but was an RC remote control kart sold in 2004, while the Luigi figure I actually just found out was from a Nintendo power action figure line for Luigi's mansion back in 2003. That Luigi figure is also very valuable, I haven't found a listing on it that isn't lower than $100!

    A lot of the joints that you called ball joints weren't actually ball joints but rather a combination of hinge and swives. There is a swivel at at the shoulder, and his arm is on a hinge which is attached to a hole in the body through the use of a peg. Ball joints are usualy sculpted on the mold and not a seperate piece.

    Well done video, and pretty spot on for the most part, I think the only thing that was off was the items, I used to have all of them except for the ghost variant, and I remember the items not really working outside of it's intended character kart it came with as they each had their own specific grooves and indents on the stick part to have them fit. Why they made them all different(even the bananas for yoshi and DK were different) instead of just making them fit every kart was beyond me but it was a minor thing. But this was a really awesome set that were really built to last too; outside of the rubber strap to keep the characters in place, you had to really go out of your way to break them which for it's price was amazing and I wish i still had them. A very fun, and nostalgic set for sure!

    Even though they're sort of off or bootleg looking, I do love these figures and always admired them even after growing out of Mario. The amount of detail that went into rendering toys based off the promo art is really something, and they really went detailed. I think they went with the promos for characters like Bowser (considering he shows the most detail) because they could've been aware of the N64's limitations, and wanted to make not only figures that were really 3D like the promotional models rather than sprites, but also as HD and high quality versions of the sprites in general so kids would get an even better idea of what the toys were supposed to be. Something of note: I believe that rather than exclusively MK64, they also borrowed from the promos of SM64. Mario's face looks like a near exact 3D replica of his face from the game cartridge cover art of SM64, and Bowser I'd argue was also used from those renders because they showed more detail.
