Elephant Mario Goes Physical

Worry not about Elephant Mario getting lost in the sands of digital time, deleted from the servers of the world. He will be preserved forever in the form of a gigantic statue, thanks to the efforts of First 4 Figures.

We mean gigantic. This is not the typical collectible statuette that measures a foot tall at the most. This product is bigger than most cats. Elephant Mario measures 19.1” by 15.9” by 16.9”, and weighs 28.9 lbs. Or 12.6 kg outside of the US.

A visual aid is provided above thanks to the F4F assistant, and also below where four soda pop cans are stacked together in a side-by-side comparison.

Is a figure of this immensity even poseable? Not really. Elephant Mario can’t be tweaked into any stance — just the one he came with. But it’s bold and fearsome and should spark conversation wherever you decide to put it.

If you’re familiar with the amount an Amiibo is sold for these days, you’re probably wincing as you wait for me to tell you how much something like Elephant Mario must be. At least $200, right? Close…well, not nearly close. He’s $544.99. But you can make him cost more than that if you want to! An exclusive edition for $619.99 throws in a real-world recreation of the Elephant Fruit, the power-up that turns Mario into a pachyderm in the first place. Just don’t eat it yourself or you’ll lose your ability to swim…wait, I’m thinking of something else.

F4F says Elephant Mario will take a while to get to the release stage…statues will not begin shipping until the third quarter of 2027 by their estimate. But preorders are open now and if you get yours in, they’ll give you a $20 discount….which when you consider the overall price, feels like a peanut compared to an elephant.
