With the holiday season fast approaching, now is a good time to start grabbing a few affordable stocking stuffers or party favors. And if you have a Super Mario fan on your shopping list, Amazon has a pair of officially licensed mystery boxes for low prices. We originally published this story in late October when we found TOMY’s Yoshi Wind-Up Mystery Egg 12-Pack. You can still get a dozen Yoshi for $23.63, but now you can also snag 10 Mario Kart toys for $21.17. TOMY’s Mario Kart Pull-Back Racer 10-Pack features eight different characters from the Mushroom Kingdom and their standard karts.
These deals are shipped and sold by Amazon. You’re paying significantly less by purchasing a full box instead of single capsules in stores. Super Mario mystery capsules like these tend to sell for $5 or $6 each in stores, but with these boxes you’re paying roughly $2 per figure.
TOMY Super Mario: Yoshi Wind-Up Mystery Eggs (12-Pack)
$23.63
Inspired by Japanese Gashapon machines, these egg-shaped capsules each hold one wind-up Yoshi. There are six colors in the collection: blue, red, purple, yellow, green, and pink.
You can wind them up and watch them walk across a flat surface or go head-to-head and race. The box the capsules are dispensed from is pretty cool, too.
Blind box toys are a staple in checkout lanes at grocery and department stores. If you’re a parent, you have probably either purchased an overpriced capsule toy or explained to your child why you aren’t paying $6 for a little plastic figure. But $2 Mario figures? That’s far more reasonable.
TOMY Mario Kart: Pull-Back Racer Mystery Capsules (10-Pack)
$21.17
Speaking of $2 Mario figures, TOMY’s Mario Kart blind box includes 10 mystery capsules for $21.17. The box comes with all eight racers in the collection and two duplicates. Each capsule has one character and a logo sticker to place on the front of the kart. Since these are pull-back cars, you simply drag the kart backward to wind it up, then let go and watch the race unfold.
Here’s the list of characters featured in TOMY’s Mario Kart Pull-Back Racer Collection:
- Mario
- Luigi
- Peach
- Yoshi
- Toad
- Bowser
- Donkey Kong
- Wario
