Thank you! It means a lot!

@@zackgb As much as I don't like this movie, I do agree it had some badass merchandise. I just wish the original VHS release of this movie didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Oh yeah! I kept getting more and more ridiculous ideas for Marios to do in Bob Hoskins form 😅

I know what that feels like. Also here are some characters I think you should make: Koopa as a dinosaur Lena Princess Daisy in her pink dress Luigi from the Mario Super Show Cat Mario from Mario 3D World Human Scapelli Big Bertha

Definitely people at the time weren’t ready for it or even now 😅 His Toad is still a delight to watch!

Maybe it was the idea of trying to give Mario some kind of character arc of becoming Super and becoming more of a believer/adventurous hero! I definitely get it though! It is hard to watch!

I have for sure wanted to do it!

I’m super excited as well!

Awesome! A month or more ago I had to call the plumber for our building at work and while making an announcement over the building intercom about having the water off to the building for awhile, I was half tempted to use the phrase “plumber alert” 😅

Thank ya! Much appreciated!

Thank you! 🍄

⁠ I really wish I had those figures but they’re so expensive

I have a Yoshi video, I ended up buying the one that was already painted! The shaving down of the heads and boots were done with a dremel tool. The head, arms and legs come out pretty easily after boiling in water. I have found stuffing them back in can be a bit of a struggle even softening them up. One video I want to do which I was I had done more documentation of the process is the beginning to end making of a Mario! I admittedly have done I think the bulk of interesting ones! There are a few obscure goofy figures up my sleeve still! 😅

@@zackgb Awesome, thanks for the tips. Looking forward to seeing what you got planned!

Thank you so much! Thanks for checking out the video!

They definitely unapologetically "went for it" haha There are definitely still parts of me that understand the gripes people have with it. The movie is insane and very unfamiliar for what people of course expected the movie to be. Best to of course go in with an open mind/no expectations! :)

@@zackgb And I'm gonna laugh when Dennis Hopper Melts to goop

@@spencerhollidayofficial 😀 I'm always distracted by a few of the extras in the background that barely seem to react or be reacting to the transformation happening.

@@zackgb I feel you

Oh yeah, the love is definitely there! As a 80s and 90s Nintendo kid, it was definitely a huge deal to me and for better or worse it stuck with me! 😅 I can definitely recognize it is with its flaws and why so many people don’t care for it at all.

@@zackgb Yeah, and I don't want to bring down anyone's love for the film, but to me, the film's kinda in an awkward position. You see, the film did have an interesting idea behind it: a gritty world where dinosaurs evolved below the Earth's surface and didn't die out. And the fact that one of these dinosaur people was experimenting with technology that could de-evolve people. However, Mario and his games were KNOWN back then for being cheery, bright, and fun. The best word you could describe the Super Mario Bros. Movie with is "culture shock". I feel the film could've made money and actually be likeable by the masses... if Super Mario wasn't attached to it. That's just my take, though! 😁

Definitely did and will still look into trying to find a wrestler that could be a decent likeness! 🙂

Thanks 😅 absolutely! Love to see it compared to the final cut, every last attempt to pick up the pace where possible and lose what at that point they considered unimportant to just try and make the movie as short and coherent as possible still!

Something the world wasn’t ready for and I’m not sure it is even now 😅

ANDY?! Thanks! Just browsing today, Pee-wee?!

I had for the longest time wondered how to go about it, I wonder if the regular goomba with his eyes accentuated and if he can be given the head swirl how good he could look. I had a little harmonica accessory set aside for ages. More recently I had thought of trying to do pre deevolved Toad with the goomba coat and boots too!

Actually have been looking into the best way to go about it. Definitely a huge disappointment not to have her made!

It has been a couple of years in the making keeping an eye out on eBay and Mercari if there were decent prices. Really the highest I would ever try to go was $25 or so shipped for a loose Mario so it has added up over time 😅

​@@zackgbI have also been thinking: Have you thought of using Great Stuff to create "fungus" for dioramas?

I think that joke was a happy accident 😂 try to keep the humor going but there were some figures I’m like “what am I gonna say?” and the struggle to keep things moving quick when I knew it would end up a super long video even though honestly each figure could have its own short video, went back and forth with the idea of do I want that or one monster video? Also I guess some jokes people won’t get depending on age or familiarity with meme culture 😂

Mario (Bob hoskins): IT'S A TANOOKI

@@darkbonnie87fan I can hear this

Someone could really make a killing offering reproductions of the coat! I know they of course are all expensive on eBay with the coat unless you get lucky! I think making one out of something like felt from the craft store may be an idea. I feel like there a lot of great tutorials out there, good luck! 😊

I would love to! She is such a great and fun looking character in all her outfits! It is a matter of finding what figure/parts would be good to start from!
