If you have a child who adores Super Mario and stuffed animals, you’re in for a treat. Build-A-Bear has joined forces with Nintendo to create an enchanting collection featuring Super Mario-themed plush toys and accessories, and they are just as delightful as you can imagine.
The new Nintendo collection from Build-A-Bear includes three full-sized “Make-Your-Own Friend” bears—Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi—along with various costumes and accessories designed to complement them. While these are supposed to be Christmas gifts for our kids, I must admit I want each one for myself, and I’m not planning to share at all.
According to the Build-A-Bear website, our beloved mustached hero, Mario, comes dressed in his signature outfit, complete with an embroidered mustache and the iconic Super Mario logo on his paw pad. Bowser, the notorious King of the Koopas, is so endearing that you may find it hard to hold a grudge against him for all his mischief. Yoshi, the most affordable option in the collection, is equally charming.
Jennifer Kretchmar, the chief product officer at Build-A-Bear Workshop, stated in a press release, “Super Mario is a classic game franchise that many of our guests know and love. We’ve had a blast bringing these characters to life in plush form. Just like Build-A-Bear, Nintendo’s characters have universal appeal, and we were thrilled to collaborate for the first time to offer a new way for fans to enjoy this timeless brand with our latest collection.”
Though I didn’t have a Nintendo during my childhood, I fondly remember spending countless weekends with my best friend’s little brother, waking up early to play. I might not have felt guilty about winning against a six-year-old, as I like to think I imparted some valuable life lessons along the way.
If you know a child (or even an adult) who would cherish this collection, it is currently available online and will hit stores in the US and UK this weekend, making it a perfect option for last-minute holiday shopping. In addition to the three main characters, the clothing and accessories are compatible with any of their bears, making it a win-win situation.
