Toys 'R Us was my first job. I helped make the R-Zone in ours way back in '96. We had one of these exact guys. He's still there they won't part with him. Bastards.

We had on of those at my store. It wasn't all metal though. Just the bottom. It was pretty darn light. He was bad though and used to touch workers in their privates with his finger.

@Scazza:

There's no such thing as a 'small' metric tonne. A metric tonne is a metric tonne is a metric tonne. (Geez, I'm Canadian, and typing 'tonne' feels weird to me)

Charles Martinet is the voice of Mario.

Okay... I only know that because I've worked with him on a Mario title a long time ago.

(Collins1990, you were so close!)

Please ban NewAgeArcade, his past several posts have been nothing but advertising.

You know what statue I want? I want the big Sonic statue that was in my old Best Buy years ago. It was in the video game section along with a giant Mario that looked almost identical to the one in the article.

One day I'll find it.

Anyone else think the eyes look really weird/creepy/zombie-ish?

Nintendo zombies FTW!

One time I called the guy who does the voice for mario. I woke up him at 5:00am, and he was pissed because he had to catch a plane. I was sad.

True story.

That pose looks awefully like a Bob's Big Boy statue.

Mario's voice is done by Charles Martinez or something like that
