NWS/ Japanese Nintendo Club Figure

ITEM: Nintendo World Store/ Japanese Nintendo Club Figure
COMPANY:  Nintendo
YEAR: 2004/2006
COUNTRY: Japan/USA
RARITY: 4/5
CONDITION: New, with box and name plate.


This figure was originally released by the Japanese Nintendo club in a set of Super Mario "family" figures, which also included Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Yoshi. It was then sold separately in the Nintendo World Store in New York City. It's no longer sold there, making it fairly hard to find.
