S.H. Figuarts Super Mario Casual Review

Hello, today we'll be taking a casual look at the S.H. Figuarts Super Mario from Bandai. 

Super Mario has always been a favorite for me so when I heard he got a figure I immediately 

got him pre-ordered on day one. I only got the main set and will probably be getting the rest on Amazon.

The main set comes with a good amount of options to play around with, I only wish they included a separate face you can swap out with this one. 

His overall size and build is great! Everything from his small arms to his body proportions go well with the Super Mario designs in the most recent games. 

Just as the front was great, so is his back. They really did something interesting here, that small portion on the back actually pops out and you can attach a stand there. (Included in other play set)

Looking at both his left and his right side the first I personally noticed was his large nose, it pops right out just the video game models. His small little stomach here also is shown perfectly.

Taking a look at his arm articulation I can't blame them for not making him as articulated as any other S.H. Figuarts figure, this is mainly due to the characters overall body size. He can pull off the basic jump move poses and everything like that even if it is a pain to set up since his body gets in the way. 

His head articulation is weak here, it can barely be pulled up a tiny bit before the entire thing pops off. Same goes if you try to make him look sideways, it limits you to having him face forward but that's not much of a bad thing. 

The articulation on the legs is significantly better than the arms here. You can easily get him into the most basic running poses, only thing that would be difficult is pulling off those Super Smash Bros poses. I think this is better than nothing. 

Dashing towards the coin!

Mario is ready for battle‼

Mario is powered up!

Overall the S.H. Figuarts Super Mario is a great figure and a must own for any Super Mario collector out there. I always find myself messing around and playing with him. In terms of articulation they could have done a bit better but what we have now is still fantastic. I'm giving this figure a 8.5/10‼ One of my personal favorites at the moment.
