It’s so clever, how did no one think of this before? You take Super Mario Bros, which in its most recognisable form is still that of a 2D game wherein you inflict massive brain trauma on Mario by directing his skull through solid bricks, and you combine that with LEGO to capture that aesthetic and give it a more creative approach in our plane of existence.

With the fame of the Batman Arkham game series continues to spread globally, some of the iconic characters from Batman: Arkham Knight have gained immense popularity. To keep up the momentum, Hot Toys is elated to introduce the female character from one of the downloadable episodes “A Matter of Family”. Determined to save her father from The Joker, Babara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl has to battle against the Joker along with Robin. Highly sought after by “Bats” fans, here comes the extremely cool-looking 1/6th scale Batgirl collectible figure.

How has this never been done before? On the one hand, you have LEGO. The premier name in creativity and construction, literal building blocks for the imagination.

Put the two together, and you’ve got LEGO Mario, a match made in heaven between franchises.

I’ve become a lot pickier as of late with which figures I buy for my working corner, due to the fact that space is at a premium until I finally get some proper shelving sorted. If I had the space (and cash!) I’d have a shelf that was one action figure accessory away from splitting in half with all the plastic that I’d stock on top of it. It also doesn’t help that shows like the Toy Fair 2020 are making me Google how much a pint of my blood is currently worth, thanks to numerous retailers descending on New York to show off nerd pollen.
