Yeah, They seem to have gone down in price a bit.

I actually bought the original four figures (Mario, Luigi, Wario, & Donkey Kong) back in 1999 directly from Toy Biz..
I didn't realize until recetly that my "complete 4 figure MK64 Figure Set" was really an incomplete 6 figure set!

Here's what I have had since the start:




Then I found a good deal on a new/mint Yoshi figure so it's down to Bowser for a complete set.

Here's the Yoshi:

Well, I used to have an entire basement to display my collection, but we've since moved into an apartment and my collection has been squeezed into a spare bedroom so for now I have to keep them in totes.
Some day I would like to display them once again.

Here's how they were (hanging from the rafters) This is Basement #1 from 1999:


Then you have Basement #2 here: http://www.videogameobsession.com...

And finally "no basement".
I do make pretty good use of the space I'm limited to however.
Everything is double, triple stacked behind what you see!

Really? I've not seen a variant of this.

I usually don't bother with variants, but I'd be curious to see what is different.


Oh, I see it now.
It looks like they replaced the ghost with the same shell design as with the Bowser and Wario sets.


I'm glad I have the first version with the ghost. The green shells are more generic.

Actually I think the shell was the first release, because Yoshi, Bowser, and Mario were series 1.

Where do you see the Series numbers?

All I know is the first 4 figures off their production line were Mario (w/ghost), Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Wario. I had them pre-ordered direct from Toy Biz in '99.


This is their original promotional advertisement showing the first set of four figures.

Yeah.
Thanks.

I was all set to  one from a seller on eBay in November, but he turned out to be a really rude A-hole when I asked him for a couple more pictures of the figure.
First he kept claiming that he sent me the pictures, but when I asked "Where he sent them to", he wouldn't  for nearly a week then replied with "So, did you get them or what?????!".
I replied "No, I haven't seen anything on eBay aside from. Your previous reply and there were no pictures attached."

He eventually sent a single picture, which was dark, blurry, and 640x480. His original picture on eBay was 2000x1500 so this was obviously done to hide it's flaws.
The listing said "Mint condition, for its age" I hate when sellers say things like that!

Wish I could help you; just wanted to say that's a rad set of figures. If I see Bowser anywhere, I'll let you know.
