When you talk about video games, one of the most iconic characters that tops that list is definitely Nintendo's Mario. Realistically, could it be anyone else?
The famous short, pudgy Italian-American plumber from New York City has been Nintendo's mascot since 1983, and has gone on to become the most recognizable character in all of video gaming. Mario and all of his friends - his brother Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi - have all gone on to be household names thanks to multiple generations of gamers who grew up playing the game. Games starring Mario have sold 262 million copies, making it the most successful video game franchise in history. Since his debut in 1981, Mario is the original game character that has appeared in over 200 games since his creation. The future of video gaming isn't a certain thing, but you can guarantee that it's going to involve Mario one way or another.
In the 1/6 scale version, GeeWhiz Customs envisioned Mario as a real person as opposed to how he has been popularly designed, with exaggerated and cartoony features. While live-action versions of Mario have appeared in both cinema and television, we believe our version stays true to form and pays the proper homage to everyone's favorite plumber from the Mushroom Kingdom.
To top it all off, our Mario custom figure debuted and bagged First Place at the recently concluded Collection 2014 Custom Figure Contest initiated and spearheaded by Pinoy One Sixth Kolectors Community. A big thankful shout out goes to all who appreciated this and most especially to the organizers and judges for the recognition given.
