Spotlight: Mario Collectibles And Zelda Gashapon Back In Stock

Since the previous bunch of items featured on this blog were a tad too expensive, lets have a look at some cheaper, but no-less interesting, Super Mario Bros. collectibles.


First up, are the touch-pens from the Nintendo DS Character Touch Pen Super Mario Bros collection from Yugin. Consisting of 6 different touchpen featuring characters such as Boo and Goomba, these touch pens bring "full-size" control to your Nintendo DS experience, compared to the puny touch pens that the console normally ships with.

What Came Karting Through the Mail?

I like Mario Kart DS just as the next Nintendo DS owner does. I may not race as well as WFC regulars but I sure love the game for its amazing racing experience and replayability. So when I bumped into Mario Kart gashapon on sale at Play-Asia, I quickly jumped at the opportunity to own the whole set.

The "Nintendo BOX Figure Collection Part 6: Mario Kart DS Racing Collection", as it is called, is produced by Yujin and consists of 4 different characters which are Bowser, Peach, Mario and Luigi. I managed to get the complete set and having seen the figurines up close, I must say I am pretty impressed with the attention to detail with Bowser and his thorny shell being an excellent testament to their quality.


These figurines come on wind-up karts with rubber wheels; push them backwards to make them go forward.

Each figurine costs USD 2.90 and it tooked a week to arrive at my place via free shipment. Ordering four figures does not gurantee a full set, unlike my case, as figurines are random. Get your very own set at Play-Asia.com (here)
