When Nintendo announced that its My Mario line, a collection of toys aimed at very young children, would be released globally, it left out the Fisher-Price Little People set. Now that the set has been officially revealed, it's been a big enough deal to be revealed on its own, and it turns out that among the options that weren't part of the previous leaks is a Bowser's Ship playset.
My Mario's Little People Collection officially revealed
The My Mario Little People collection marks the first time Nintendo's characters have been transformed into Little People. For those unfamiliar with the long-running Fisher-Price line, Little People are toys designed for infants and young children, many of which come from crossovers with other IP. Stranger Things' cast has been replaced by the Little People, and Halo already has its own set, so Master Chief beats Mario in the gaming department.
Mario may have taken some Little People punches from his Xbox counterparts, but the plumber's collection includes more than just supporting characters. In addition to the basic set you get the Little People version. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Toad, YoshiThere are also two playsets.
Nintendo's ROB robot has been spotted hiding behind Mario in the Galaxy Movie playset.
Imagine if ROB became the key to unlocking the Super Smash Bros. movie universe.
The largest and most expensive set is the one featured in a previous leak, thanks to the retailer listing it a little early. It's called my Mario Mario's Adventure Playset, It was designed to look like a simplified version of a 2D Mario level. There are coins to collect as well as Chain Chomps and Piranha Plants to avoid.
The second set and one that could not be seen until this official release was My Mario Bowser's airship. Like the larger set, the airship includes a variety of interactive features for children to play with. It also has wheels that shake when rolled, making it feel like the spaceship is actually soaring through the clouds.
How much does My Mario Little People cost and where can I buy it?
The Adventure Playset and Bowser's Airship are available now through a variety of retailers (more information can be found on Mattel's website). The Adventure Playset costs $53.99.and The airship costs $26.99.. Each set includes only one character (Mario in the adventure set and Bowser in the airship); if you want the remaining characters, you must purchase them separately.

It's all part of Nintendo's new plan to get kids interested in Mario at the youngest age possible, as these toys and the rest of the My Mario collection are specifically aimed at kids so young that they haven't even picked up a Nintendo Switch yet.
