I had that Mario figure as a kid. He came with a spring-loaded plunger, like Luigi's wrench in the image.

My brother painted his Movie Luigi figure to have Shaggy 2 Dope facepaint...

Haha... I actually have both of those. Found them in a garage sale once.

i love how both of these things are relevant to Jack Black specifically

In what world is that John Leguizamo? That looks like a black guy.

Are these just castoff toys from something else that they painted to look like the characters from the SM movie?

At least it still looks like the actor it's supposed to represent. Remember the Jurassic Park Dennis Nedry figure that just looked like some random dude?

It looks like if they cast Alfred Molina to play Wesker in a Resident Evil movie

I had those Mario and Luigi toys as a kid and loved them. Also I loved the movie too, I guess I was a dumb kid.

I always wanted one of these when I was a kid

I was introduced to that movie by my memaw finding a vhs of it at the 98¢ store. Having little knowledge of Super Mario since we were too poor to own an NES, I was able to appreciate it on its own terms. Basically, I would have loved to get these figures.

Ok, but compared to Jack Black in a blue jumper those do kind of rip
