One thing that is really weird is that there weren't Mario toys that I was aware of when I was a kid and Mario was like our generation's Superman.  You would think that this would have been an obvious idea but the only ones I recall from my childhood were the Super Mario Bros 3 toys that came in McDonalds Happy Meals.  As a kid I would definitely have been interested in some proper Mario action figures or for that matter other Nintendo franchises like Zelda.  They had Nintendo cereal and a cartoon show so why no action figures?

Yeah, I remember those Mario 3 McDonalds toys. I wonder if the experience with the bad Mario Movie put them off of any sort of regular merchandising. That or it was older leadership exercising a belief that it would "cheapen" the brand or some such philosophy.
