World of Nintendo Nintendo - Figures

Nintendo prides itself on being one of the most popular and recognizable gaming companies in the world. Mario , Super Star, and Link serve as both brand ambassadors and standalone characters that video game fans love. And dedicated Nintendo fans really love the brand. As a result, Nintendo began producing collectible figures, such as game-related amiibos, to cater to this love. More recently, Nintendo launched the World of Nintendo series, producing a wide range of affordable figures. These figures include the big names, like Mario , as well as supporting characters and backgrounds so fans can collect, pose, and play with their favorite characters again. The four entries representing the wide range of World of Nintendo figures are: "World of Nintendo 4" Figures Wave 3: Pink Yoshi, "World of Nintendo 2.5" Figures Wave 5: Yellow Pikmin | Pikmin", "World of Nintendo Legend of Zelda Micro Land Figure Set" and "World of Nintendo 2.5" Figures Wave 5: 8-Bit Luigi | Super Mario Bros. »

World of Nintendo 4" Wave 3 Figures: Pink Yoshi Figure

From the classic 4-inch line comes this adorable figure of a Pink Yoshi . One of the many color variations of the Yoshi species, this Yoshi features a pink body with a red shell, orange spikes, and yellow shoes. The figure has articulated arms and legs for posing in a variety of action scenes. Like many World of Nintendo figures, Pink Yoshi looks great on its own but pairs well with other figures from the Mario franchise. As a bonus, the figure includes a mystery box accessory. The box features a white question mark on a yellow box, mimicking the design of the mystery block from the games.

The Pikmin series joins the World of Nintendo lineup with this 2.5-inch yellow Pikmin figure. Though larger than a US dime, these tiny figures capture the small essence of a Pikmin as seen in the game. The small size doesn't sacrifice quality. Meticulous painting faithfully recreates the simple design of Pikmin, including the elongated shape of the eyes and the dark lining of their elfin ears. The leaf atop its head features slight sculpting for the inner veins. The figure comes with a clear stand so the yellow Pikmin can prop itself up securely.

World of Nintendo 2.5-inch Figures, Wave 5: 8-Bit Luigi | Super Mario Bros

This entry in World of Nintendo's 2.5" figure line features Luigi as he appeared in his early days. His 8-bit design from the original arcade game has been creatively reproduced in three dimensions. The figure is relatively flat, but features a second layer of raised pixel areas. This layer builds forward toward the viewer, casting shadows that give the appearance of individual pixels. This adds the depth needed for a 3D figure while also producing a cool, nostalgic texture. Luigi's color scheme retains his signature green but trades his blue overalls for the stark white that sets his design apart from his brother's.

Manufacturer: Jakks Pacific
Features: Painted, non-articulated PVC figure
Height: Approx. 2.5"

About the World of Nintendo series

The World of Nintendo line is a series of figurines from Nintendo and JAKKS Pacific. The line primarily consists of highly detailed 4-inch collectible figures representing Nintendo's most iconic franchises. As new waves of figures are released, the line draws on nostalgia and lesser-known characters, such as the 8-bit figures and Fox McCloud. Since the 4-inch line, World of Nintendo has expanded to include a 2.5-inch line, Micro Land mini-figure sets, and select 6-inch and 20-inch figures. At its core, the figure line embodies fun childhood memories of Nintendo games appropriately embodied in accessible toys.

The World of Nintendo Series Development

Nintendo and American toy manufacturer JAKKS Pacific began their partnership in 2013. As amiibo rarity declined, Nintendo developed the World of Nintendo line as a series of affordable collectibles. The first wave of World of Nintendo figures was released in 2014, starting with Mario 4. Many entries in the line are associated with specific retailers for sale, such as Walmart and Target. Fans widely enjoy the line, praising the inclusion of both big-name and obscure characters as well as the price. In 2020, Jakks Pacific and Nintendo released a wide range of Super Mario figures to celebrate the game's 35th anniversary.
