Mario Metal (Diecast) Figures
マリオ メタル ダイキャスト フィギュア コレクション
A Guide By Metal Dracky
Published on July 13th 2026
Compared to Pokemon, there are way fewer Mario related metal figures in existence. However, I’ve collected quite a few diecast Mario figures over the years and I want to share photos and info that’ll hopefully be helpful to other collectors. Please note that my focus is on officially licensed metal figures (statues) so I won’t be covering other metal items such as keychains, pins, coins etc.
Metal Mascots
This first set of Mario “Metal Mascots” (メタルかスコット) was released in 1991 around the same time as Super Mario World on SNES and was manufactured by Japanese toy company Takara.
There were only 3 figure types: Mario, Mario riding Yoshi and Cape Mario. Each figure was released in three colors – copper, silver and bronze.


The only other set of Mario Metal Mascots that I’m aware of was released WAY later (2009) as the Super Mario Bros Wii set. It was manufactured by Takara Tomy (Takara merged with Tomy in 2006) and consists of 10 different figures, each available in gold and silver finishes. I believe that this set was sold in Gacha vending machines.
Figures: Mario, Penguin Luigi, Star Coin, Goomba, Foo, Huckit Crab, Mushroom, Penguin Suit, Propeller Toad, Propeller Mushroom.


Super Mario 64 Metal Collection
Japanese name: スーパーマリオ64のメタルコレクション.
This set of 12 figures was manufactured by Kyodo in the late 90s and came in blind boxes dispensed by Gacha capsule vending machines.
The figures were released in a large range of colors ranging from more natural metal tones such as copper, bronze and gold to other colors such as blue, green, orange etc.
I don’t have a list of all paint colors however they’re pretty much identical to the Pokemon Metal Collection colors which I covered in my Pokemon Metal Collection guide.
Figures:
Figures: Mario, King Bobomb, Spindell, Mr. Blizzard, Hoot, Boo, Monty Mole, Penguin, Goomba, Bully, Swooper, Whomp King.


2004 Club Nintendo Gold Mario Statue
This small statue was available exclusively to Club Nintendo platinum members (back when that was a thing). I am not sure whether it’s made entirely out of metal or only metal plated. The packaging says it’s made of zinc alloy (metal) and ABS (plastic) but I don’t know if the plastic was only used for the base or for the entire figure. Nevertheless, it looks great and I’m glad to have it in my collection.

Monopoly Tokens
Worth mentioning because they’re pretty cool, these tiny pewter Monopoly tokens are detailed and unique. They were released by Hasbro in a number of different Nintendo themed monopoly sets. In addition to Mario, there are Zelda, DK, Metroid, Animal Crossing and Pikmin tokens as well.

Bronze statues / trophies
So far I’ve covered figures that I own. However, since I’m trying to cover all the official metal Mario statues in existence, I wanted to include these pretty awesome bronze Mario trophies I’ve come across.
Apparently, these were manufactured by the same company that produces the Oscar trophies in very limited numbers and only given to Nintendo employees. I will probably never own one of these due to the extremely high cost, but I wanted to mention them here. Obviously, these aren’t my own photos:


Mario Kart Trophies
I don’t own any of these either, but I’ve seen a wide variety of Mario Kart trophies online that appear to be made out of metal, though I don’t know for sure. There’s mixed information about these online, with some sources saying they’re made of metal and others saying they’re resin with a metallic finish. Based on photos I’ve found, even the various trophies’ original boxes don’t seem to specify what material they’re made out of. If anyone has more info on these, please let me know.

Mario Kart Hot Wheels (Mattel)
There are many Mario Kart Hot Wheels toys out there, but I don’t personally collect them so I won’t be listing or documenting them in this guide. Most of these toys seem to contain more plastic than diecast metal and my focus is on statues that are entirely (or mostly) made of metal.
I did want to mention them though because they’re probably the first thing you’ll find if you search for “diecast Mario”.

Hope you found this guide helpful. If you have any questions or want to share more info with me, please email me at rean8166@gmail.com
Happy collecting,
Metal Dracky
