Three years after the initial reveal, First 4 Figures has finally announced its Mario and Yoshi statue will be available for pre-order after a Q&A live stream next Friday.
The announcement was made on the F4F blog page and Twitter account, with a YouTube teaser trailer for the figurine also shared. Check it out below:
Here's a bit more about the statue, when to pre-order it and the live stream planned for next week:
After more than three years since the 2015 Christmas sneaks, it has officially been announced that MARIO AND YOSHI will finally be available for pre-order after the Friday Q&A with Chocks and A #110 Facebook live stream on FRIDAY, 8 MARCH 2019, 10:00 PM HKT. We've prepared a short teaser trailer for everyone to appease the wait.
Be sure to join Alex and Chockles as they go through all the juicy details during the Reservations stream, as well as FAQs, numerous high-resolution images, and their "Making of" documentary video to name a few. You may watch them live on First 4 Figures' main Facebook page or Official Collectors Club Facebook group. Also, be sure to check out our Events page linked above as not to miss out on the highly anticipated MARIO AND YOSHI product launch.
First 4 Figures CEO Alex Davis has been posting a fair amount of sneak peeks throughout 2018, and what we could presumably derive at after all these years is that this beauty is going to be quite the massive centerpiece for one's Super Mario collection (or any collection for that matter). Bowser has been sitting atop the F4F pyramid as the unofficial ultimate F4F showpiece since it first launched—and rightfully so—but we think that this 2-characters-in-1 statue might just be the one to oust the reigning titleholder. Do you think that Mario and Yoshi have what it takes to take the crown from King Koopa himself?

I don't get it, why 3 years for a non amibo
@jockmahon Because this is Nintendo.. XD
Oh man. I really want this one. How fast do these usually sell out? I've never bought one of these before.
Too bad it’ll probably cost as much as a switch console
Holy effing crap. I just looked at the Bowser one. Almost 1 & 1/2 feet tall, 2 & 1/2 feet deep, and $699.99. That's kind of insane.
Personally I'd rather spend money on something more detailed.
it looks like one of those old mario happy meal toys
@kirbygirl Yep indeed, feels like only people who REALLY wants it would probably get it for that price.
They made a statue of Doug as well? Wow!!!
I am a fan but for that amount of money it better make waffles.
I'd love to have it, but I have a feeling it will cost a fortune and a half.
I wouldn't have anywhere to put a giant video game statue in my place lol, kinda glad because the price for these things is always ridiculous.
Probably one of the most beautifully done statues I have seen from F4F.
Surely they should be called First 4 Figurines if they only make statues? Pretty sure "figures" only refers to "action figures" or the shape of a human body, their "figure".
Unless they also sell people?
Are those Animal Crossing trees in the trailer? Or do they just look really similar?
I wish they made smaller, less expensive versions.
Not sure how this is a teaser, seems more like a standard ad. There's not a lot to tease, really.
Need a toy that somehow shoots the tongue out of his mouth. Not sure it could be pulled off though.
I’m waiting on BOTW Zelda. I have the Link and he looks cool. If I can find the cat mario for a decent price I may get that. But I am paying for 4 statues right now anyway. I may snag this later though. But that Shiranui statue looks great too... sigh.
@DanteSolablood It’s just short for figurine, a action figure is a figurine with actions usually referring to possibility, action figurine doesn’t sound as catchy hence action figures.
@Monkeido Do you mean the trees in the background when the "It's a me, Mario!" text shows up or the bushes (one with a piece of fruit) that show up alongside the figurine?
They have a similar art style, but the leaves are usually different between the two series.
@Yosher depends on the region and the statue really. But they have payment plans so it isn’t hard to pre order upon release. I’m paying for 4 statues currently.
Anyone remember that Mario Lucky Cat statue? That thing was awesome. Wish I grabbed one.
@Ryu_Niiyama Oh dear. Yeah I guess a payment plan would be nice if they're expensive like this. I didn't even really realise at first how expensive they were, might want to think twice about getting this thing, depending on the price and all, regardless of how much I want it.
Thanks for the reply either way!
If you plan on buying this, it's worth remembering that Yoshi commits Tax Fraud on a regular basis.
@Yosher First4Figures is really good with payment plans, usually you can have a payment plan anywhere between 4-8 months. My guess is that it'll be $400 and be somewhere around 18 inches tall.
@StarchyShark978 Hmm. I'll have to think about it. Dropping that much money for a figurine like this isn't nothing after all. How long does it usually take for these to sell out? Just so I'll know how long I have to think about it (and get a job to actually be able to pay for it).
@Yosher The statue is going up for preorder on the 8th and they stay up for four weeks. To place an order they require a 10% down payment (probably $45-50). If you're still unsure you should check out the First4Figures website when it launches to see specifics.
@StarchyShark978 Okay! I'll look into it more and make my decision. Thank you very much for the information!
@KyleHyde The bushes with the piece of fruit is what reminded me of Animal Crossing. And you're probably right that they just look similar. ^^'
On a side note, I love Hotel Dusk and Last Window. ^^
Perfect drop into into pits!
