What Was The First Ever Mario Plush?

[@KatelynJewel]

Unless a plush of Luigi based on his anime design exists (which I would be surprised if it did), as a Luigi collector who does a lot of research on his history, I think it's safe to say that his first plush was the Acme one since it's the only Luigi plush I've seen that pre-dates the '90s.

[@infinitefun527]

I'm a luigi collector too. Luigi is god. If you see a comment on a channel like this. it's probably about luigi.

[@Artuar3CRaFT]

I love the Luigi character!

[@supermariof0521]

13:14 To answer your question. He did wear a bowtie, but only in a fantasy dream sequence where he was wearing a full blown tuxido while dancing with Peach. But other than that, he was pretty much just typical Mario throughout the thing. Though it would've been hilarious if they made a plush where Mario was in a balerena outfit based on that one scene where he tries to charm an undersea clam to get the star out of its mouth. XD

Hello indeed

[@ladypangaea4801]

My mum just looked over my shoulder and started freaking out over the Etone Jumpman and his furry shoes. I have never laughed so hard in a long time!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Unicornmazda]

Was she scared of it or did she really want it?

[@ladypangaea4801]

​@@Unicornmazda She was weirded out over the fact that Etone Jumpman had a plastic head and hands, but his feet were a fuzzy material. She was all "Why does he have FURRY FEET?!?!" and for some reason, it cracked me up. 😄

[@duckymrcorey]

I’ve always really liked older videogame plushes from the early 80’s to mid 90’s. They’re so charming and they always look so special and nothing like you see nowadays. The Applause and Avonti Mario plushes, Knickerbocker’s Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man plushes, The Dan Brencher Pac-Man plushes from 1991, Kenner Q*bert, and the Caltoy Sonic The Hedgehog plushes are so cool to me for looking like the designs that aren’t used anymore for the characters we know and love. Nice video as always Lane.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

Cree, Natasha, and Martha (my friends who're also part of Danny's family of characters) had those plushies.

[@32-bitcloud]

Agreed, I have a 90s' plush of Cloud from FF7 that looks nothing like the modern ones. 😎👍👍

[@brendanblair64]

PatMac's newer videos are fantastic too, but I miss his older plush videos. I'm really happy to find some content with a similar goal and quality. Great job!

[@davidzea-smith1417]

You're not the only one who made that comparison.

[@Poyostar]

Solid video, man. The Avanti Mario plushes look super charming in comparison to the other early Mario plushes showcased here!

[@johnofonett8036]

This is a really interesting look into Mario’s plush history! Good stuff!

[@SonkleyFiz]

i feel like that etone plush should be in a museum since mario is such a game icon, especially with the mario movie out now

[@KingLaneCreations]

I agree, it belongs in a museum.

[@ToadEatSock]

I really enjoyed this video! History of any type of plush merchandise really interests me. I hope you can continue making great videos like this.

[@FemfoxOfficial]

10:58 God i would love to have those OVA Mario plushies if I'm being honest... especially the 40 inch one on the right. I don't know why but i just love their look, I'm a suckered for vintage plushies like these. 👌

[@nintendogejpeg]

A very cute plush for sure! I love how he looks like the 2D Mario artwork. Great video!

[@parum33]

The Avanti plush looks a lot like how Mario looked in SM64. I wonder if they used it as reference when making the ingame model.

[@robbiewalker2831]

The Avanti Mario Plush was really cool.

[@yoshi18super]

It was a surprise to see my sun arrow mario picture at 22:53. I loved the video 😁

[@mikumika3819]

Avonte Mario is so adorable. I just wanna hug him.

[@lanicemclark6097]

Same

[@anactualmotherbear]

I'm willing to believe that any plush based on the 1986 anime is more likely to be the first since Mario and friends would not have finalized designs (like those on the tag, as well as his look in plush form) until the release of Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan) in June 1986. Merch for movies tends to be worked on alongside the film so that the toys can come out around the same time. Video games tend to have toys made after the fact since toys based on video games are rarely a thing, and no one really knows if a video game is going to be a surefire hit.

[@angelcalico2581]

great video like always!

[@CherrySapphireCherry]

I've seen a lot of people who talk about the first Mario plush, but I've never heard this question asked for Bowser, Peach, Toad, or Luigi. I feel like because of the existence of the DK Mario Plush, the Mario question is one with a answer. However, I can't find a solid answer for any other character. Although, I've heard some say the Acme Luigi is the first Luigi. So then what's the SECOND Luigi!?

[@dylanmanf6427]

That’s crazy that guy found a prototype Mario plush at a goodwill!

[@BagelNosed3DSuser]

Since the extra large Mario plush has a cape and is… well… extra large, it COULD be a super Mario world plush with cape Mario and a P balloon

[@ConNinGame]

Nice Theory

[@32-bitcloud]

@@ConNinGame Perhaps someone made the cape for it after Mario World came out. lol 🤔

[@fluffcake]

[@zzyy1934]

I never in my 24+ years of living noticed Mario had red overalls in a LOT of early stuff. I thought he had blue overalls since day 1.

[@randomsomthing1237]

I actually prefer the old outfit over the newer one :)

[@IngimundurAO]

17:05 on the suction cup version why he has his head tilted is probably if you were to suction him to something you would still be able to kinda see his face

[@NathanSpies]

I feel like Lane is only going to collect plushes of Italian dudes with mustaches from now on

[@matthewbob_moostachepants5563]

Man this was quite interesting for sure! Really goes to show how much we take Mario plushes for granted these days when they really weren’t all that common back then. Never knew these plushes existed although I might have seen the Uvandi plush briefly but don’t quote me on that. Although I especially enjoyed seeing the prototype from the Donkey Kong era was especially fascinating. It’s too bad it didn’t release as I think it would have been pretty reasonably marchitable. But Mario’s updated design in SMB was definitely much more marchitable hands down!

[@YourBoyDonald]

Hey man, I'm watching this video with great interest! I like how you word everything. You really should have more subscribers, you are amazing! I'm subscribed to you from now on.

[@brettballman5629]

The head looking to the right for the suction cup mario is most likely because it’s nose is big. If it was facing forward, and if you were to put it on a window, his head would be leaning back because of his nose. A lot of suction cup plush I’ve seen have had have heads that look to the side most likely because of the same issue.

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

This was a great video!

After actually watching the video, I realized my joke rang more true than I thought it would, and admittedly more true than it should have. I felt so bored watching this video I wanted to reach through the screen and slap you. You really need to read your lines quicker and make your editing more snappy. I still watched because I wanted to know what the oldest Mario plush is, but I sure as hell didn't subscribe. And stop copying PatMac so much! Anyone who's seen his content will make the connection, and it's not cute, it just feels weird. It's mostly the music and the transitions
