Own the true Mario, maybe

This item up for auction on eBay is purportedly a cast of a Nintendo reference model for Mario, used to make sure that all depictions of the character are consistent. However it looks slightly off-model to us. Mario's appearance has changed many times over the years, and this piece doesn't quite seem consistent with any of them.
If this is really what the seller says it is, it's an amazing and unique collectible that represents an ideal Mario. If not, it's ... actually still a pretty neat Mario statue, though it has a busted arm. That would probably be easy enough to fix.

Also found on GameSniped today: a cotton candy machine made by a pre-video-game Nintendo.

Creepy Mario collectible available for big bucks on eBay

You know what's missing from your living room? A glistening four-foot statue of Mario with eyes that will follow you everywhere that you go. Note that we're putting this in your living room? That's because, as much as we like Mario, we're not sure we'd want it in ours. Collectibles are great and all, and we're big fans, but crazy price aside ... we're just not sure this particular treasure is for us.

He's got his eyes on you. And he's just so cheerful. Well, that's eight hundred dollars saved!

Gigantic Mario 2: Fire Edition

Nobody stepped up when we exhorted you to buy us a huge Mario statue. We sit here, lonely, in our sparse, desolate office, yearning for an inanimate mascot character to talk to. But we're all lucky that you didn't go to such an expense for us, because we like this Fire Mario one better.

The red-and-white Fire Mario statue comes in at the same 50 cm height as (the smaller iteration of) its predecessor, but in a more powerful outfit. Unlike the ridiculously huge 150 cm statue, this more modest giant Mario statue comes in at a reasonable $215. So, anyone in the market for a, uh, big cartoon person?

Someone buy us one of these gigantic Marios

Nobody's going to believe we're a real Nintendo gaming site unless we have our own obscenely enormous Mario statue, right? This is our credibility we're talking about. This is important. We want people to walk into our office complex and see that we mean serious business. Would you deal with DS no-Mario-statues Fanboy?

Importers extraordinaire NCSX are offering this five-foot tall Mario statue, usually available only to stores, to normal people like us for the low, low price of $3000 plus shipping. Five feet tall may not be big for a person, but for a video game character statue? Man, look at that Mario. It's huuuge.
