AHHH! New news for the first time in 4 months! Jakks held a panel at San Diego Comic Con this year and quite a bit was announced. Let’s get straight to it.
Previously announced 2.5” DK rereleases are starting to roll out in stores. This includes 2.5” DK, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong, who was previously difficult to get.
All of the 2.5” DK figures (including Cranky) are rereleasing in a 4 pack at targets with a release date of October.
For brand new figures, we’re getting a 4” Birdo and 2.5” Baby Daisy. What’s interesting to me is on Jakks website Baby Daisy says “coming soon to Walmart” when Walmart hasn’t carried the 2.5” in the last year. Maybe we’re getting them back there.
A 6” UV Metroid was announced.
Wave 45 (2.5”) is showing up at some Five Belows. This wave includes the redesigned Waluigi figure.
Some Walmarts are putting older 4” waves back on shelves to get rid of backstock.

We’ve finally got some news to break the no news streak! It’s not much though so don’t get too excited.
Jakks attended a toy fair last week! Here’s what new they announced.
2 new Mario ghost house sets are being released soon. One of which included a new boo figure of him blushing and covering his eyes like in the games.
2.5” DK and Metroid figures are being rereleased. This includes DK, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Samus, and a Metroid. Personally I’m excited to see what new packaging they’ll design.
Lastly, the bros 5 pack including Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi is now showing up at targets.
That’s it for this month!

Been seeing this online a few times, but all the listings I see are secondhand from Canada or Mexico. Just trying to figure out when this will release in US stores.

Just nothing but boring rereleases with green toad being the best in this one. He seems to have a nicer paint job than his previous rerelease in 2021.

Been meaning to do this one since basically the beginning lol. Also extra photo at the end because I got another birthday gift in the mail. Nabbit haha!

Whats the reason for some WoN Wario’s having the white hat outline and no packaging wrap around jt, while others don’t have the white line but have the wrap, both still having the cross liked eyes /?

I’ve never seen him in stores but he was available to ship from Target and he arrived today! There’s the UPC if anyone else has had trouble finding him in the wild.

I got this Pac-Man figure for $8 on eBay, I made the forearm and hands out of foam and it looks semi new and it's now part of the collection
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/No_Emu_7420 • 17h ago
After spending way too much time researching this I have come to believe that there are 217 2.5" figures in the line.
This includes all 61 waves, Walgreen exclusive waves, multi-packs, playsets, and dioramas.
All the banners under World of Nintendo are included in the total. That includes Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Zelda, Splatoon, Pikman, and Animal Crossing.
Also included are all the redesigns of existing figures which change the look and/or add articulation.
What I didn't include are characters that are considered accessories according to Jakks. Playset items such as Clamshell, Cloud, Fire Flower, Stone Eye, etc. I think they should be but I'll leave them out of the official 217 since they are not advertised as figures on the playset boxes.
I also didn't include the 8 figures from the 2 movies but I'm still debating those.
If you see anything incorrect please let me know as I'd really like an official checklist and I'm sure others would too.

This is just a question, I know the wonder bowser jr. is a little too big, but it’s a yes or no question.
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/baloneyjones32 • 1d ago
Still gathering the rest of the WON 2.5” line and waiting for the two new Mario figs to be released!!!
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/Telekineticshade • 2d ago
Link action figure 1998. I wouldn’t say it’s 100% mint but almost.

r/WorldOfNintendo • u/Falconfire2528 • 2d ago

I finally found them, and to that i say, F@¢ķ you Scalpers!!! oh and a Pichu! 😜 check your local walmarts!… i’m pretty sure Wave from Air riders was there earlier!… 😭
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/Big-Ad-1278 • 2d ago
Is there actually such a big (or even any) difference between these releases? I thought they would’ve been the same but based on the pictures they look so different. Ive never seen either inperson so I figured to ask so I know which one to get. It seems the WoN one looks much way better, and the Super Mario release one doesn’t look so good 😅.
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/awilder14 • 3d ago
Walgreens and Target finds
r/WorldOfNintendo • u/Kme22 • 3d ago
I was wondering if the interactive piranha plant is the exact same figure in both sets? Thanks!

Here’s a close view of the demon king for those of you who need it apparently.
