Get ready for The Super Mario Bros. Movie with our exclusive reveal of a new official toy line from Jakks Pacific.
Jakks Pacific is first showing off toys for the movie renditions of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. Take a look at the toys below, which include Mario holding a plunger, Luigi channeling his ghost hunting days with a flashlight, Peach with her iconic parasol, and Toad wearing his backpack and holding a frying pan.
On February 26, IGN will have a first look at the full line, which is set to include posable figures, accessories, playsets, plushies, and remote control toys. The toy line will hit shelves on that same day.
Jakks Pacific has worked with the Super Mario license before, creating 2.5" Mario action figures, a 12" tall Mario figure, playsets, plushies, and more.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Nintendo and Illumination is set to hit theaters on April 7. The movie stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, and more.
