Mario Movie Toy Appraisal

Bowser 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' McDonald's Happy Meal Toy

This item is a McDonald's Happy Meal toy featuring the character Bowser from 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'. The toy is sealed in its original transparent plastic packaging, which indicates 'Nintendo' and 'THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE' text. The primary color of the Bowser figure is a yellowish-tan for its main body, with distinct areas of green for what appears to be its shell, and red for its hair and possibly other accent features. Its claws and wristbands are prominently visible in a darker shade, likely black or dark gray. The figure appears to be made of molded plastic, characteristic of typical fast-food promotional toys. Inside the packaging, illustrative diagrams with numbers '1' and '2' and arrows suggest assembly instructions or an action feature, such as a spinning mechanism indicated by circular arrows next to a depiction of what looks like Bowser breathing fire. A distinct orange-red accessory, possibly a projectile or a component of an action feature, is also visible. The toy is in pristine, unopened condition within its original clear plastic bag, showing no signs of wear, damage, or repairs. As a promotional item for 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie', its age can be estimated to be around the release of the film (2023). The toy's quality is consistent with mass-produced promotional items, designed for play rather than intricate detail or high-end craftsmanship, yet it effectively represents the character. The mention of an 'Identification number on the back' in the context refers to the packaging itself, which is standard for these serialized promotional releases.
