I had mentioned these in an earlier post and I am finally getting the chance to unveil them.  I am always on the hunt for Series 3 Super Mario figures from Popco (talk about delayed!).  I have managed to find Fire Flower Mario and Donkey Kong, but no others.  They were sourced at one of our less frequented Game Stops.  The others stores and Toys'R'Us, only seem to have Series 2 figures on the shelf, and of course the Series 1 Box Sets.

Anyway, that aside, the hunt for more Series 3 did come up empty, but not entirely.  Much to my surprise I found these Super Mario Galaxy 2 figures, which I had never seen before!  I believe these are a product of BanPresto, which I rarely see around here.  I have yet to find the exact figures and their packaging online with a definitive maker, but that would be my best guess.

All that aside, here is what you have been waiting for:




The 3 I found and picked up.

  Now, for a closer look at each:



Spring Mario



Bee Mario

Bee Luigi

As you can see, the three make up a very nice set and do a good job portraying the different power-ups from the game.  I believe the 4th figure in this set might be Bowser Jr.  I would have to assume that Bowser Jr. and Bee Luigi will be the harder figures to come by.  Hopefully I can get more information and maybe some links to share with you.
