Bandai S.H. Figuarts Action Figure — Super Mario — Luigi 11cm
This high-end action figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations’ prestigious S.H. Figuarts collection features Nintendo’s most famous and timid of the plumber brothers: Luigi.
The figure is compact, standing approximately 11 cm tall, and faithfully reproduces the character’s slender proportions in comparison to his brother Mario. True to Bandai’s technical excellence, this fully articulated figure features a highly sophisticated joint system. This system allows for a vast array of dynamic poses, from dizzying leaps to the comical stances iconic to platform games, without ever compromising the hero’s silhouette. The PVC plastic sculpture faithfully recreates his green cap bearing the ‘L’ logo, his dark moustache and his famous blue overalls. To expand the display options, the set includes several iconic accessories: a brick, a red Koopa shell (akakora), interchangeable hands and a dedicated transparent display stand with mounting arms.
This collector’s item is aimed primarily at retro gaming enthusiasts, fans of the Kyoto-based company’s universe, and connoisseurs of exceptional articulated action figures. The item is presented in its original protective display box.

Character background and lore
First introduced in 1983 in the arcade game Mario Bros., Luigi is Mario’s younger twin brother. Although he shares the same profession as an Italian-American plumber, he differs radically from his elder brother in his taller stature, his signature green colour and his much more timid nature. Often relegated to the background or forced to clean up after his brother’s antics, Luigi comes into his own and gains immense popularity thanks to the Luigi’s Mansion series of games. Armed with his trusty ghost-sucking vacuum (the Ectoblast), he must overcome his panic-stricken fears to explore haunted mansions and rescue Mario. Behind his legendary cowardice and bouts of trembling lies a deeply loyal hero, capable of prodigious feats that defy gravity to defend Princess Peach and restore peace to the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom.
