Bandai S.H. Figuarts Action Figure — Super Mario — Bowser 13cm
This premium action figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations’ prestigious S.H. Figuarts collection depicts the ultimate antagonist and King of the Koopas in the Nintendo universe: Bowser.
The figure stands at an imposing height of approximately 13 cm, faithfully capturing the character’s heavy, imposing build to create the perfect contrast with the Mario and Luigi figures. True to Bandai’s advanced engineering standards, this figure features an articulated joint mechanism at every key point of its anatomy. This allows it to be displayed in a wide range of dynamic combat poses without compromising the visual fluidity of its reptilian silhouette. The PVC plastic sculpture faithfully recreates his iconic features, such as his green spiked shell, his sharp horns, his spiked armbands and his flamboyant red mane. To offer even more display options, the set includes interchangeable hands as well as two types of replacement lower jaws, designed to allow you to switch between a closed mouth and an open maw ready to breathe fire. A customised transparent display stand, featuring Bowser’s official logo, completes the set.
This collector’s item is primarily aimed at retro-gaming enthusiasts, fans of the Kyoto-based company’s games, and collectors of exceptional articulated action figures. The item is presented in its original protective display box.

Character background and lore
First introduced in 1985 in the legendary Super Mario Bros. game on the NES, Bowser (known as the Great Demon King Koopa in Japan) is the supreme leader of the Koopa tribe. A powerful sorcerer and monarch of a militaristic volcanic kingdom, he is the most famous recurring antagonist in the history of video games. Driven by an obsessive desire to expand his empire and rule over the Mushroom Kingdom, his main plan invariably involves kidnapping Princess Peach, locking her away deep within fortified castles riddled with lava traps. Capable of spewing torrents of blazing fire, endowed with Herculean physical strength and near-invincible physical resilience, he engages in a fierce yet sometimes humorous rivalry with the plumber Mario, establishing himself as an essential cultural icon of the Nintendo universe.
