For the first time in 23 years, we get a closer look at the canceled Mario's World, Super Smash Bros., and Zelda Ocarina of Time figure lines from ToySite!
The biggest loss was evil Kirby. It fills me with great sadness that I will never see that wicked, strange little man in physical form 😔 Update: I made him out of clay and now he haunts my desk😈
Man, it's crazy that we have managed to uncover all of this previously unseen stuff. Who would've guessed that there would've been a set based on the original Super Smash Bros.? Really makes me wish we lived in a world where these DID get released. Thanks for bringing attention to all of this, LSuperSonicQ!
Oh I am _devastated_ that we never got those Candy Catchers. I had the Charmander one as a kid and I treasured that thing. I can't even imagine how much I would've obsessed over the Bowser, Banjo, and Mumbo ones.
With how detailed these documents are I wonder how easily someone could make 3D printable versions of some of these, no way replacements for the real thing but more into a window of what almost was.
@@phoenixdouchebag904 I imagine a good chunk of that was due to companies re-using molds back in the day so you had he-man's body with someone else's face, but still its funny. Who needs force when you got GAINS.
I had a super Mario kart watch that had audio of Mario saying “move over, Luigi” but it was before Charles martenit started voicing Mario so I don’t know who it was
You’ve got to cover Cookies Bustle! It’s actively being erased from the internet by this guy named “Ukie” due to copyright claims and it’s really sad! It’s a old 90’s cd game with a lot of charm and love put into it, even having the voices of Doraemon and many other notable Japanese VAs. I can’t find any of the cutscenes or gameplay on TH-cam or ANYWHERE.. vinesauce played the game but that was taken down and he even made a video about that… PLEASE BRING THIS GAME TO LIGHT! We can’t have it lost to the void and your dedication to the topic is admirable!!
I don't know what's more amazing: the amount of research and passion that went into making this video or the fact that nobody else ever attempted to make Super Smash Bros action figures. I think Jakks Pacific could (and definitely should) revive Smash Bros. as a collector's line, since they have the Nintendo & Sega licenses. They can even have a few waves dedicated to Mii costume fighters and assist trophies. Hell, make them scale with the Jada Street Fighter and Bandai Game Dimensions Tekken figures. I swear, there's so much potential there.
I would've loved to have these toys as a kid, especially the Smash Bros figures. I loved battling my toys against each other and combining their universes: Baxter Stockman the Fly Man vs N64 Starfox would've been the stuff of legends.
Wow it’s insane how you tracked this down, insane in a good way obviously. Your a legend… I miss this era of plushes where they all looked a bit off. It added charm…
I'm glad you decided to make this and the video game rumors videos. It's nice to see you to give new and updated versions on some of your older types of content, and helps give a bit more variety to what's mostly a lost media channel, while still being in the same sorta realm as lost media, though I'm aware you and some other people consider certain rare merchandise lost media like the figures in this video lost media.
This is so awesome. Thank you so much for this video! Can you imagine if they rereleased a remastered version today? That is just free money right there. Those would sell put so quickly
I do wonder if it's possible for a company to do what Super7 did with the cancelled Alien toyline that Kenner was supposed to make and make toys based on all of these cancelled Mario, Smash and Zelda toylines, especially with how popular those series have become.
The most I ever knew of BD&A was during the Nintendo Wii generation, so this is incredible to see their partnership with Nintendo has a longer lifespan. These design documents and early models are very cool and I can imagine how they would move and feel for their time, based on other action figure toys I had around then.
The Mario's World line of toys would've been easily the greatest Nintendo toyline of all time. Imo the N64 era is the best that most of these characters ever looked. Sadly, we didn't get a real Nintendo toyline until the World Of Nintendo line, which uses the modern and imo much less charming and expressive designs.
The bowser one's interesting to me as the mario movie bowser is almost a succesor to that! Tho instead of spraying water, he mists it. But he still breathes "water" instead of fire, and his switch is in his back (tho the resevoirs now in his head). They just seem very similar to me which is very cool! Maybe some of the other features can also return in succesor ways like bowser
Toy Fair just happened for the first time in 3 years this past month, I got to go as a student! The event is where a ton of companies make like 75% or more of their yearly sales to distributors. It could have been that the cancelled toys didn’t get any buyers for the product so never went through with manufacturing? Some of the companies were selling off their display items on the last day so I assume that’s how people get these random toy samples
These kinds of things make me wish I was some kind of time traveling hoarder supervillain who just goes on time theft sprees taking old things and bringing them back to the current day so they can be preserved in perfect condition and archived.
When i was a kid and a huge Mario fan in the n64 and game cube era i noticed that there were no Mario related toys at all. i now know that they had Mario related toys in the 80s and very early 90s but i think they stopped making them in 1991 or something. and i think they were only in north America and japan not Europe because back then the gaming industry was very different in different countries. and here in Europe the nes was not as popular as sega mastersystem or c64. but in the middle of the 90s Nintendo got more popular here and the gaming market was almost the same as in north america .anyway i finally did see mario toys here in 2006 but by that point i was starting to reach puberty so i didn't care much anymore.
The thing that makes me even more sad other than the cancellation. Is that if these were not canned, we could have seen them have in older style TH-cam stop motions from the likes of SonicToast, having that smash bros line, dragon wario and banjo deluxe. And i feel like we were robbed from that
17:37 if these were resin they were likely cast in-house but if production was slated to begin, master molds likely exist as well (and possibly steel molds, although those are likely to have been melted down and reused)
I remember the super ball with the characters inside, I actually had the Mario one but I don’t know where I got it or when I got rid of it but I’d keep looking for that one since I remember that picture on the box.
Im wondering what the candy catchers candy would look like as i have a pichu one and it had flat disk pokeball stamped candy i guess the mario ones would have coins? Or ones stamped with a star?
Since Super why pilot and Blue Prints pilot got found, here are my holy grails of lost media now. Lost: Me and My Friends Pilot London after Midnight (1927) Battalion, A Stripped down version of Tank Battalion Shrek HP Commercial Looney Tunes - By a Hare, A Sega Arcade Game Found: Super Why Pilot Blue Prints Pilot Thanks!
10-18-23 I wonder whether anyone, with the specs and everything, could figure out how to recreate them in physical form, so we can see what they might have been like had they came out.
I hope these plushies toy & action figures can be found very soon. Also, I'm hoping they can find these lost cartoon network's plush/action figures, so I could buy / keep them as my collection / treasure them ( and play a little ), who knows where it's at? But if it's found, please keep in updated ( let me know ). 👍👍😊😊
Anyone know the song that starts at 13:31 ?? He has listed the artist in another vid a few months back, but I couldn’t seem to find it on his channel when I did find him.
It’s so weird to see Banjo Kazooie actually being Nintendo characters, like they were designed to be. Microsoft needs to actually eat the fifth gen mascot platformer vegetables they have if they want any desert (Crash and Spyro).
Can you help me find a short called the Tenor about an ostrich who wants to be an opera singer. It was created by an animator named Thor Freudenthal and aired on spike and mike's festival of animation.
I can't take either Kirby or Mario's expression in the thumbnail. Both are round, rolly pollies at the end of the day so looking angry comes of more silly than serious. 😂
You can tell how much love and dedication was put into the concept and figures. It's really sad to see they never came out.
And even with all of that they still look like crap
Though now through 3D printing we could technically recreate them since we have the technical drawings
Honestly fax, wish we had more exciting toylines these days, but maybe I'm a little old for it.
Can 3d printers do the plastics they would've been made from?
@@joeybuddy96 indeed they could, it'd work best with resin 3D printing as it allows higher details in prints
The biggest loss was evil Kirby. It fills me with great sadness that I will never see that wicked, strange little man in physical form 😔
Update: I made him out of clay and now he haunts my desk😈
Tempted to find out how to make 3D printed figures just to make a replica of Evil Kirby.
@@moonbunny24better yet a replica of the entire lost toy line
@@moonbunny24I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man, it's crazy that we have managed to uncover all of this previously unseen stuff. Who would've guessed that there would've been a set based on the original Super Smash Bros.? Really makes me wish we lived in a world where these DID get released. Thanks for bringing attention to all of this, LSuperSonicQ!
You think with amount of detail it has, someone could 3ds print a mock up of it?
Oh I am _devastated_ that we never got those Candy Catchers. I had the Charmander one as a kid and I treasured that thing. I can't even imagine how much I would've obsessed over the Bowser, Banjo, and Mumbo ones.
Can't believe youtube blessed me by recommending this to me instantly after it released.
Ever hear of this crazy new feature called subscribing?
True
@@WilfredCthuluhe said recommend, not notifications.
Same
@@SpacePotatoJTASP he's saying that he should use notifications, instead of recommending
With how detailed these documents are I wonder how easily someone could make 3D printable versions of some of these, no way replacements for the real thing but more into a window of what almost was.
Damn. Banjo be jacked.
that Blue Yoshi figure is so good I'm sad it was never released
As a toy collector; this is an amazing find.
I wonder what was going through the 2d artist's mind when he drew banjo from 7:00 so goddang shredded.
Why is he so hot tho
Man-Beast
Most toys always exagerate male characters to be buff as possible. Just look at old Luke Skywalker toys or Power Rangers.
@@phoenixdouchebag904 dude its actually so hilarious. every male power ranger was a literal twink but the action figures are TWUNKS.
@@phoenixdouchebag904 I imagine a good chunk of that was due to companies re-using molds back in the day so you had he-man's body with someone else's face, but still its funny. Who needs force when you got GAINS.
What I find cool is that someone could make fairly accurate physical recreations of the smash bros figures with how much detail is in the sheets
I had a super Mario kart watch that had audio of Mario saying “move over, Luigi” but it was before Charles martenit started voicing Mario so I don’t know who it was
13:25 if they were actually released I bet we could make a re-creation of slamfest 99 with toys
When I was a kid, I had the ocarina of time figures they sold at EB games. Then electronics boutique.
I had the Link figure also. They were definitely released and available in the late 90s, and I sold mine on ebay around 15 years ago for like $50
I don't know. The face on the Kirby figure concept looks accurate to how commercials in the U.S. has depicted Kirby.

Someone should do a 3D printed line of the unreleased figures. That would be sick
This comment should be pinned.
This is absolutely mind blowing stuff. Just goes to show that even decades later you can uncover new information! Beyond cool!
This man has the scariest of thumbnails in all of his videos
Kirby looks awfully mischievous 😂
It reminds me of the old kirby ads which is probably where they got the inspiration from
@@MortexBerri Yeah, it could be from those.
It's always good thing to hear that a previously lost piece of media has been found.

I agree that it's a really good find, but the person who provided the pictures and artwork for us is IkhanaKingdom @ 3:20
At this point a viewer can 3d print these with how much detail they show you. Down to the measurements.
Wow this is insane that this much info was found, glad I’ve been following it feels nice to know of something before it’s found.
This is a good day to be a super big Nintendo fan :P

Another great vid!! Missed the merch stuff!
I find it funny how buff Smash Bros Link looks even compared to Smash Bros Donkey Kong
This guys videos haven’t changed a single bit in 7 years , he still have the same monotone voice .
So, Super Smash Bros. was going to have merch way before amiibo was created?
This is so awesome. Thank you so much for this video!
Can you imagine if they rereleased a remastered version today? That is just free money right there. Those would sell put so quickly
I do wonder if it's possible for a company to do what Super7 did with the cancelled Alien toyline that Kenner was supposed to make and make toys based on all of these cancelled Mario, Smash and Zelda toylines, especially with how popular those series have become.
That thumbnail really made me think we found “it”, but I guess not

2000s video game merch was so cool.

Bump
wow that Kirby in the thumbnail is so sinister
thank you for sharing im glad we have more content for this lost toy media

Always excited to see a merch video like this.
Woah nice vid, its great tbat this can all be preserved.
I’d kill for an official line of Ocarina of Time figures those would go nuclear
18:36 This display definitely was made, I have seen photos of it in 90s stores (possibly KB toys) on Twitter before
this is interesting. i like that you do physical merchandise lost media (plushies, figures, posters, shirts, etc).
You are so close to 200k, my guy!!!
Glad to see your new video
When i was a kid and a huge Mario fan in the n64 and game cube era i noticed that there were no Mario related toys at all. i now know that they had Mario related toys in the 80s and very early 90s but i think they stopped making them in 1991 or something. and i think they were only in north America and japan not Europe because back then the gaming industry was very different in different countries. and here in Europe the nes was not as popular as sega mastersystem or c64. but in the middle of the 90s Nintendo got more popular here and the gaming market was almost the same as in north america .anyway i finally did see mario toys here in 2006 but by that point i was starting to reach puberty so i didn't care much anymore.
I was born in 93 and was a Nintendo kid and would’ve loved to see those 90s games turned into action figures , oh well
I always complained that there were like zero Nintendo toys outside of pokemon when I was a kid, now i know where they all were 😮
The thing that makes me even more sad other than the cancellation. Is that if these were not canned, we could have seen them have in older style TH-cam stop motions from the likes of SonicToast, having that smash bros line, dragon wario and banjo deluxe. And i feel like we were robbed from that
2:18 Mario vs fox
McCloud
17:37 if these were resin they were likely cast in-house but if production was slated to begin, master molds likely exist as well (and possibly steel molds, although those are likely to have been melted down and reused)
Love your content king
WOW!! What an incredible find!!! Omg omg
Therapist: Buff Banjo isn't real
Buff Banjo: 7:17
Too bad the 4 unlockable Smash 64 characters weren't planned to have figures. Wonder what Ness would've looked like in those concept sketches.
crazy how this just dropped and i already got it recommended lol
MORE FOUND LOST MEDIA🎉
I remember the super ball with the characters inside, I actually had the Mario one but I don’t know where I got it or when I got rid of it but I’d keep looking for that one since I remember that picture on the box.
I love these Nintendo toys!
7:50 I have that
Wait…now that we know how they where meant to be built and all, what if…someone recreated them and sold them? AW HELL YEA
Lol
As someone who is in a community with guys who play with plush toys, I find this very entertaining
The Super Smash Bros ones goes hard.
the fact smash bros. was going to have action figures is insane.
Let me introduce you to amiibo
i would love to see someone recreate the concept arts irl with a 3d printer
I was thinking that given how we have the style sheets for them here, with all the measurements and details, all they need is someone to sculpt them!
I have actually seen one of those donkey Kong toys in a pawn shop. I think it was the surfing one
Aww i had that blastoise candy catcher! i miss it ;w;
7:00 Banjo be really jacked👀
the 2d artwork in these are amazing
what was the artist on
Im wondering what the candy catchers candy would look like as i have a pichu one and it had flat disk pokeball stamped candy i guess the mario ones would have coins? Or ones stamped with a star?
This year has been INSANE for uncovering lost media
Also the fact that we almost got a Smash bros toy line but never did breaks my heart
Since Super why pilot and Blue Prints pilot got found, here are my holy grails of lost media now.
Lost:
Me and My Friends Pilot
London after Midnight (1927)
Battalion, A Stripped down version of Tank Battalion
Shrek HP Commercial
Looney Tunes - By a Hare, A Sega Arcade Game
Found:
Super Why Pilot
Blue Prints Pilot
Thanks!
12:53 so cursed seeing Samus without her arm cannon
10-18-23
I wonder whether anyone, with the specs and everything, could figure out how to recreate them in physical form, so we can see what they might have been like had they came out.
The smash bros Samus reminds me of Masters of the universe toys
Can you make a video about the unreleased 'pikachu furby'?
That is interesting and kind of serene.
흥미롭고 평화롭네요
That Gold Skulltula toy would be neat to have. I'd *absolutely* use it to freak my friends and such out, lmao.
Now all we need is that Toy Player to watch or listen what they have.
...
It’s media, isn’t it?
Yay its this time
I've lived in perpetual despair everyday since I learned that we could've gotten a Lanky Kong figure...
HE HAS NO STYLE
HE HAS A COCONUT GUN
TH TH THIS KONG HAS A C O C O N U T GUN
I hope these plushies toy & action figures can be found very soon. Also, I'm hoping they can find these lost cartoon network's plush/action figures, so I could buy / keep them as my collection / treasure them ( and play a little ), who knows where it's at? But if it's found, please keep in updated ( let me know ). 👍👍😊😊
NO VEAS BATMAN NO ES VEJETARIANO
man i was hoping for 3d scans lol
Meanwhile i want more info on the mib line
You should make lost toy media for famous toylines like Transformers Power Rangers Gundam TMNT etc
Anyone know the song that starts at 13:31 ?? He has listed the artist in another vid a few months back, but I couldn’t seem to find it on his channel when I did find him.
3:02 Because people want it, that’s why.
Bowser Bath Toy... Yes
Also, lots of ToySite stuff got repurposed to being Pokemon branded.
Nice

Well can you release the document
The original Olimar plush from Pikmin on GameCube, I know is rare AS F
Meanwhile, I'm still hoping that the SOTA Darkstalkers action figure prototypes will get recovered and reverse-engineered.
i want the zelda figs thay look cool
