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, you may want to check out this mystery box of Yoshi toys before Amazon sells out. Amazon is selling a 12-pack of TOMY Yoshi Wind-Up Figures–with the box included–for only $24.41.
This deal is shipped and sold by Amazon, and we were frankly a bit surprised to see it. Super Mario mystery capsules like these tend to sell for $5 or $6 each in stores, and sellers on eBay are asking for more for these specific Yoshi toys. But if you buy the box from Amazon, you’re only paying $2.03 per Yoshi.
TOMY Super Mario: Yoshi Wind-Up Mystery Box (12-Pack)
$24.41
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.
Amazon also has a 6-pack of 1.25-inch figures from The Super Mario Bros. Movie for $21. These aren’t blind boxes, but they have similar appeal as small figures in Super Mario-themed Question Block containers. Unfortunately, you won’t get Yoshi, because he wasn’t in the movie.
