[@JodaroKujo]

I remember seeing toad in a target that was swapped around

[@sesealeman]

0:59 Cute Mario Bros Mario?

[@jasonpantaleon1606]

There was a fire Mario

[@payasitopie999]

What a nice video man y really enjoy it 🤙🤙🤙

[@smbcollector]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

I made a video going over these figures as well as the other releases

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

I have a Hammer Bro. Mama ordered me it from Japan 4 years ago

[@drcheerioshehehe]

Wow very intresting story.

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

Can you show it? I think it’s bootleg but idk

[@supermario2007sm2]

I have Mario, Yoshi and Toad figure popco Nintendo 2008

[@anthonyalzamora4566]

I had the Mario, Luigi and Yoshi figures at one point, but I gave them all away after I collected the SH figuarts figures of the former two. That was a really dumb move.

[@smbcollector]

Aw, that’s too bad. 😢 The S.H.Figuarts figures are really nice though, so hopefully you at least still have those.

[@anthonyalzamora4566]

@@smbcollector I thankfully still have the Donkey Kong and Toad figures from the Popco/Goldie range, so that’s cool 😄

[@smbcollector]

@@anthonyalzamora4566 Yeah, that’s good! That Donkey Kong is one of the best DK posable figures out there in my opinion since the Mario Kart 64 one had a very strange sculpt and paint job and the Jakks Pacific one seems a little wonky in sculpt, too.

[@benjaminwilson2945]

Are these still sold anywhere?

[@smbcollector]

You can probably find them on sites like eBay, but I doubt any actual retail stores or sites would still have them.

[@benjaminwilson2945]

@@smbcollector is there a good way to avoid fakes?

[@smbcollector]

@@benjaminwilson2945 I’d say try to only buy them if they’re in package and the figure’s plastic looks solid with quality paint applications. If something seems suspicious, I’d suggest skipping it.

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

The Bootleg Luigi is just Mario wearing the Luigi costume from Odyssey

[@smbcollector]

The figure was made long before Super Mario Odyssey, but we can retcon that idea into effect if we want, haha.

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

smbcollector so i guess they predicted it then. Hahaha

[@jurassicpark1274]

I remember having yoshi (favorite) koopa troopa and DK when I was little and I really wished I still have them

[@chuchu2090]

Jurassic park1 are you talking about the large figure koopa troopa?

[@jasonpantaleon1606]

I still have them since 2009

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

Do you have Toadsworth, Hammer Bro, Builder Mario, Baby Mario, Waluigi and Fire Luigi?.

[@smbcollector]

Popco/Goldie/Global Holdings never made any of these characters, but I do have a Hammer Bro, a Builder Mario, and a Waluigi made by other companies. A licensed Toadsworth figure in this general scale has never been made and I can't recall any Baby Mario either, but there is at least one Fire Luigi made by Jakks Pacific, and I believe there's a Banpresto one in Japan at the very least.

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

smbcollector oh i must have been thinking of Bandai’s Prize Collection Series (the ones in the bags like your bootleg Luigi). They made those characters. Thanks anyway

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

@@UchihaMadara-e6u the ones you are referring to are bootlegs

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

Mario Luigi Peach (Goldie) Donkey Kong Toad Koopa (Goldie) Goomba Para Goomba Fire Mario Fire Luigi (maybe) Yoshi (Green, Light Blue, Pink, Yellow, Red) maybe other colors too idk. Ik every Yoshi color was planned but not sure if all came out Is there more? WHO KNOWS.

[@smbcollector]

The only officially licensed figures in this line were the ones discussed in this video. Any other characters are either unlicensed bootlegs (such as Fire Luigi) or were available in a differently scaled line like the Popco mini figures (such as Peach).

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

@@smbcollector The ones I listed were made but in other countries and sets. For example, 5 inch Peach was released along with the Goldie set in 2013.

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

@@smbcollector she came in a 2 pack with Mario. I remember too since I got it as a kid at toys r us

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

@@smbcollector also I’ve seen fire Mario before apart of the boxed figures set with the Wario and different colored Yoshi’s. As for fire Luigi, he may of only been in Japan. But I swear he was in the US at some point. Maybe not though

[@smbcollector]

@@ShineSpriteGamer For clarity, I don’t consider any Japanese Banpresto releases as a part of this Popco/Goldie/Global Holdings line since that would be like saying all Famicom games are NES games or all Diaclone toys are Transformers. As for any characters that leaves remaining such as the Peach you remember getting, is that from the USA? Do you have any source or photos?

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

WHAT SITE IS AT 2:13

[@smbcollector]

The site is an old blog of mine goldiepopco.blogspot.com/ it's not entirely updated, and Photobucket's messed up a bunch of photos, but there's still some good information there.

[@acerreviews5456]

There is a Wario figure too!

[@jurassicpark1274]

and koopa troopa

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

Le Plushies he showed it off in the video

[@smbcollector]

4:02 Yep, Wario’s in the video.

[@ShineSpriteGamer]

And Peach, And Goomba, and Fire Mario, Fire Luigi, as well as Peach and Red Yoshi

[@rileyb2448]

Lots of voice crack

[@smbcollector]

Yes, I get nervous talking aloud when I know others will listen to it and it makes my throat often feel like it's closing up, and my experimentation with projecting my voice didn't help either -- the result is me sounding like a dying frog in a blender. Do you think I am happy about that? Do you think my self confidence has risen or even plateaued after hearing my hideous voice? I did multiple audio takes on some videos, but my voice is hopeless. But why you feel like this is worth commenting about in spite of all the hours and hours of effort that went into the research, filming, scripting, editing, etc of this video when I didn't earn a single bit of money in return for it is beyond me. Your comment accomplishes nothing and is hurtful. I can only hope you'll someday understand the consequences of your actions.

[@rileyb2448]

@@smbcollector I am sorry. I didnt mean to hurt your feelings. I feel horrible for making you upset. Ur a great youtuber and I understand that people can get nervous. It was a wrong thing to say and I'm very sorry. I hope you accept my apology? Keep up the great work man!

[@smbcollector]

​@@rileyb2448 Thank you very much for being civil rather than getting rudely defensive. I accept your apology and kind words, and as long as you learn from this error (which it seems like you may have), then I hope you don't continue to feel horrible.

[@rileyb2448]

@@smbcollector hey, I know it's been a very long time but I was just going to let you know that I was really immature at that age so anything that a commented isn't meant to be rude in any way. I have no idea why I commented that in the 1st place. Just wanted to mention it

[@chess1048]

Fake?

[@smbcollector]

I don't understand the intention of your sentence fragment. Would you care to elaborate more?
