Plush Tanooki Mario costs more than an extra life
I like Mario as much as the next silly Nintendo diehard, particularly anything related to Super Mario 3D Land as it rawked my world pretty hard this past year. Thankfully we're starting to get a glut of merchandise from 3D Land instead of the same tired keychains, figures, and plushes from New Super Mario Bros Wii. Guess we've got a new Mario game to get tired of, and what better way to start that than with an insanely priced Tanooki Suit Mario from San-ei?
You put Mario in a Tanooki Suit and convert it into plush and you've got a winner. The only thing that can break this winning combination is adding in unreasonable prices. Such as US$39.90 for a small size or US$58.90 for a medium (yeah, not a large, which doesn't exist apparently). My assumption is that we're seeing the long-reaching effect of a ridiculously powerful Japanese Yen, but I'm not here to follow current events; I'm here to judge and judge severely! And sometimes snuggle plumbers dressed as raccoon dogs, is it too much to ask that I'm not spending a fortune to do so?!
Should you have zero grasp of money's value, you can order these now from National Console Support, which doesn't sound sketchy whatsoever. That's for a pre-order by the way. These don't ship until April, but my advice, my serious advice, is to just wait until maybe...June at the latest? By then there will be all sorts of Tanooki Marios in comic shops and at Toys R Us and all the places you currently find the Penguin Suit Mario plushes. You wait a little bit and I promise you'll be spending $20, max. Dang it money, only you would make me pass on something so stupidly cute.
