A Look Back At The Toybiz Mario Kart 64 Action Figures!

For a character as old and as iconic as Mario, there really aren't a lot of good action figures of him out there. While many Mario figures exist, most of them are basically lightly posable figurines, or static figures. Nowadays, figures like the Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo figures and the SH Figuarts Mario line basically cover anything you would ever want from a posable Mario line, but before they came out that really wasn't a thing.

That is, outside of the line of action figures by Toybiz based off of the game Mario Kart 64! This set continues to be praised for being the greatest Mario figure set of all time, so let's talk about them!
