- One of the most marketable Mario products out there are Mario plushes. Many companies have made plushes of characters from the Mario franchise over the years. But given how there are so many plushes of the Mario character, which plush(es) came first? What was the first ever Mario plush? It's a pretty broad statement if you think about it, as there are a few Mario plushes out there that might've been the first. In this video, Lane will try his best to answer the confusing and seemingly impossible question.
0:00 Intro
1:07 Donkey Kong Prototype Mario Plush (Etone, 1982)
8:46 Super Mario OVA Mario Plushes (Unknown Manufacturer, mid-1980s)
14:31 Super Mario Bros. Mario Plushes (Avanti, 1986)
25:14 Outro

Unless a plush of Luigi based on his anime design exists (which I would be surprised if it did), as a Luigi collector who does a lot of research on his history, I think it's safe to say that his first plush was the Acme one since it's the only Luigi plush I've seen that pre-dates the '90s.
I'm a luigi collector too. Luigi is god. If you see a comment on a channel like this. it's probably about luigi.
I love the Luigi character!
I wish I had a luigi collection.
@@infinitefun527 love the kkhta pfp
I got a mario plush long time ago now i need a luigi plush then my life is completed with both of my fav characters
(The mcdonalds spinning luigi doesnt count)
13:14 To answer your question. He did wear a bowtie, but only in a fantasy dream sequence where he was wearing a full blown tuxido while dancing with Peach. But other than that, he was pretty much just typical Mario throughout the thing. Though it would've been hilarious if they made a plush where Mario was in a balerena outfit based on that one scene where he tries to charm an undersea clam to get the star out of its mouth. XD
Hello
Hello indeed
My mum just looked over my shoulder and started freaking out over the Etone Jumpman and his furry shoes. I have never laughed so hard in a long time!! 🤣🤣🤣
Was she scared of it or did she really want it?
@@Unicornmazda She was weirded out over the fact that Etone Jumpman had a plastic head and hands, but his feet were a fuzzy material. She was all "Why does he have FURRY FEET?!?!" and for some reason, it cracked me up. 😄
My brother would do the same thing
WHY DOES THE AVANTI PLUSH WHO A RANDOM GUY OWNS HAVE A SLIGHTLY UNDERSTUFFED NOSE!!!!!!!!
I’ve always really liked older videogame plushes from the early 80’s to mid 90’s. They’re so charming and they always look so special and nothing like you see nowadays. The Applause and Avonti Mario plushes, Knickerbocker’s Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man plushes, The Dan Brencher Pac-Man plushes from 1991, Kenner Q*bert, and the Caltoy Sonic The Hedgehog plushes are so cool to me for looking like the designs that aren’t used anymore for the characters we know and love. Nice video as always Lane.
Cree, Natasha, and Martha (my friends who're also part of Danny's family of characters) had those plushies.
10:07 Mario without a mustache isn't real. He can't hurt you.
Mario without a mustache:
PatMac's newer videos are fantastic too, but I miss his older plush videos. I'm really happy to find some content with a similar goal and quality. Great job!
You're not the only one who made that comparison.
The Avanti plush looks a lot like how Mario looked in SM64. I wonder if they used it as reference when making the ingame model.
10:58 God i would love to have those OVA Mario plushies if I'm being honest... especially the 40 inch one on the right.
I don't know why but i just love their look, I'm a suckered for vintage plushies like these. 👌
The Avanti Mario Plush was really cool.
14:46 Looks very modern to Mario's actual design to be 1986
Solid video, man. The Avanti Mario plushes look super charming in comparison to the other early Mario plushes showcased here!
This is a really interesting look into Mario’s plush history! Good stuff!
Lane, you remind me a lot of PatMac, like the editing random choices of video game music!
Same!
@@sonicfanboy3375 maybe he is a clone
Of patmac so that when the og dies he will take his place
i feel like that etone plush should be in a museum since mario is such a game icon, especially with the mario movie out now
I agree, it belongs in a museum.
I'm willing to believe that any plush based on the 1986 anime is more likely to be the first since Mario and friends would not have finalized designs (like those on the tag, as well as his look in plush form) until the release of Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan) in June 1986. Merch for movies tends to be worked on alongside the film so that the toys can come out around the same time. Video games tend to have toys made after the fact since toys based on video games are rarely a thing, and no one really knows if a video game is going to be a surefire hit.
I really enjoyed this video! History of any type of plush merchandise really interests me. I hope you can continue making great videos like this.
A very cute plush for sure! I love how he looks like the 2D Mario artwork. Great video!
I've seen a lot of people who talk about the first Mario plush, but I've never heard this question asked for Bowser, Peach, Toad, or Luigi. I feel like because of the existence of the DK Mario Plush, the Mario question is one with a answer. However, I can't find a solid answer for any other character. Although, I've heard some say the Acme Luigi is the first Luigi. So then what's the SECOND Luigi!?
Avonte Mario is so adorable. I just wanna hug him.
Same
I never in my 24+ years of living noticed Mario had red overalls in a LOT of early stuff. I thought he had blue overalls since day 1.
Since the extra large Mario plush has a cape and is… well… extra large, it COULD be a super Mario world plush with cape Mario and a P balloon
Nice Theory
17:05 on the suction cup version why he has his head tilted is probably if you were to suction him to something you would still be able to kinda see his face
If Nintendo never took him down, I'm sure SML would make a 'SML Movie: Mario's Family' video with these plushes.
He probably wouldn't, he would make "Jeffy does something stupid Part Septillion"
That’s crazy that guy found a prototype Mario plush at a goodwill!
I love how funky these little guys were. The early days of marketable plushies were so good
The head looking to the right for the suction cup mario is most likely because it’s nose is big. If it was facing forward, and if you were to put it on a window, his head would be leaning back because of his nose. A lot of suction cup plush I’ve seen have had have heads that look to the side most likely because of the same issue.
It was a surprise to see my sun arrow mario picture at 22:53. I loved the video 😁
The Avanti (I think that’s how you spell it) Mario plushes are SO cute I want them all. Why they gotta be so expensive 😭
So true bro
At least they aren't as expensive as the Etone Jumpman prototype or the Mario Party 5 Mario plush (from SML Bogan Dirtyacre)
@@BrawlinEntertaintment2K its honestly funny how the first released mario plush is less expensive than the mario party 5 one, i swear the price on it went up because of SML
@@crimsonamogsus7351 Yeah the Mario Party 5 Mario plush skyrocketed in price because of SML.
Although since SML is legally not allowed to use any Nintendo-related plushies in his videos anymore, will the Mario Party 5 Mario plush finally plummet in value?
@@BrawlinEntertaintment2K lets damn hope, i kinda want it
It's very interesting to see something like these being talked about. Great review! :D
I do just like to think that the Jumpman Plushie’s tush-tag was mistakenly designed to say “1978”.
I feel like Lane is only going to collect plushes of Italian dudes with mustaches from now on
Man this was quite interesting for sure! Really goes to show how much we take Mario plushes for granted these days when they really weren’t all that common back then. Never knew these plushes existed although I might have seen the Uvandi plush briefly but don’t quote me on that. Although I especially enjoyed seeing the prototype from the Donkey Kong era was especially fascinating. It’s too bad it didn’t release as I think it would have been pretty reasonably marchitable. But Mario’s updated design in SMB was definitely much more marchitable hands down!
Now I see where they got the inspiration for the giant Mario head...
Hey man, I'm watching this video with great interest! I like how you word everything. You really should have more subscribers, you are amazing! I'm subscribed to you from now on.
I had a super Mario kart wrist watch that opened and said ”move over, Luigi”
It sounded like Charles martinet but it was before sm64 so I’m not sure
great video like always!
Old video game merch is one of my little niches! So excited for this vid
I like how youre really inspired by patmac
Their are probably a bunch of Applause plushes and Ross ones in the US, but after all they are unique on it’s own way.
This is a really great video. You should really make more videos like this.
You've earned a subscription,great video I've always like Nintendo and wanted to know what the first Mario thing was
Its not that humans arent marketable. It's that as humans we know what a human should look like, even if it's a stylized cartoon character. So our eyes are naturally critical towards things that appear human.
It's just easier to make a toy animal look cute than make a human plush that isn't weird or creepy looking.
I think Mario's design benefits from this a bit just because he's so non-human shaped it is a bit easier to make Mario look good.
I guess for now DK jr will just be the smallest size of DK
Dude, your just like patmac! Good videos and talks about history in a non boring way
Neat video, you remind me so much of PatMac, and i love that! Good job bro :))
I had the Acme Mario plushie and a Luigi one too! My mother won them at a Coney Island game!
I remember seeing both plushes before as a kid.
So, the people that made ALL the angry birds plushies made One of the first pieces of Pac-Man merch?
Interesting topic. Good stuff man. 👏
This was a great video!
Where'd you find that print ad featuring Donkey Kong Jr.?
Great video mate!👍
That green paratroopa on the Avanti mario tag reminds me of the old Bampresto Green paratroopa, which is one of only two Green paratroopa plushies. The other also being made by bampresto.
I love merchandise history soooo much good video
The first plush of Mario is the Italian guy I killed and stuffed in 1981
Great video!
The Japanese one's for the first game look pretty good for the time
Really good video. Aside from the text-to-speech part at the start, really feels like a MatPat video. Keep this going 👍
This screams PatMac. He’s awesome! And so are you.
the editting style, the choice of music and the way the script is written reminds me a lot of patmac. :P
it isn't a bad thing or anything i just see you borrowed a lot of inspiration from him. great vid still.
you remind me alot of pac Mac, keep up the good work!
13:09 this is the best Mario drawing I’ve ever seen
Bro said "well if PatMac isn't making plush videos anymore, then I'll do it myself!"
After actually watching the video, I realized my joke rang more true than I thought it would, and admittedly more true than it should have. I felt so bored watching this video I wanted to reach through the screen and slap you. You really need to read your lines quicker and make your editing more snappy. I still watched because I wanted to know what the oldest Mario plush is, but I sure as hell didn't subscribe.
And stop copying PatMac so much! Anyone who's seen his content will make the connection, and it's not cute, it just feels weird. It's mostly the music and the transitions
Awesome research
Awesome Patmac Parody!
Great vid but where did you get the Mario text to speech? I would love to use that for my video
5:24 yeah look at Jon Arbuckle who (to my knowledge) doesn't even have a plush
The name Mario never existed before 1982. Donkey Kong Jr was the first use of the name "Mario"
I've always thought the one the Sony/Sega employees electrocute in the Star Fox 64 VHS is the original Mario plush
1989 Applause
I remember the Acme Mario plush and the Applause Mario plush.
You can tell this guy is based off of PatMac, and I love it.
Keep up the good work
The 1st Mario plush I owned was Mario 64; with his winged cap!!
Oh the BD&A one or the Bandai one
i love this video! just my kind of video 👍
22:57 the fun fact Mario wear the classic color in super Mario World Cartoon
I have a good stuff plushie of Luigi that I won from a claw machine and now I am obsessed with mario plushies
Honestly don't know how you managed to capture PatMac's editing style. Honestly don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the way this was made makes me miss him even more
I’ve never seen u but i subscribed
3:42 donkey Kong's body is an among us
1:11 I have that pikachu! My uncle bought it for me as a kid!
the obanti Mario plush looks so cute with its mouth open
Your editing really reminds me of Patmac
Damn good video
and also did you get inspired by patmac?
When I made my first PatMac-style videos a few years ago, the similarities were actually a coincidence. But the more I made them, the more similar they were to PatMac's video style. So yeah, I did get inspired by PatMac. I really enjoy watching his content.
@@KingLaneCreations yeah your content is good i hope some you cover some rare sonic plushies
Wow, I never knew any of these items existed!
I feel like I have an updated large avonti mario but I have no idea
You should do a video on Mario action figures!
18:56 Bro forgot to brush his Mario's teeth
Yes I’ve always wanted to know this
10:09 I have one of those Mario plushies, the one on the left.
And I don't know if it is official either :)
6:43 maybe he looks so grumpy because someone tried to destroy him at the factory lol
Haha, where's the picture at 13:18 from?
the Avanti's Mario overalls look a lot like San-ei co's Mario overalls
14:48 I want this plush!!!!
Do the Mario! Man, there sure are a lot of Mario plushes.
Nobody's gonna mention how this video is EXTREMLY simmilar to patmac's videos?
I'll mention it. This video is very similar to PatMac's videos.
This feels like a PatMac video.
Channeling your inner Patmac, I see.
What are the Mario and Luigi plush called 0:40
These are Super Nintendo World plushes that you can get exclusively at both Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood.
@@KingLaneCreations I went on eBay and bought one thank you
So the etone set is where I got my plush donkey kong
suprised to know that mario is known for red overalls
Nice
