I don't have a picture of it at the moment, but I can find it and scan it. It was originally $100 inside Nintendo Power's Power Supplies catalog in 1997. It was a four foot Wing Cap Mario stuffed toy. It's somewhat similar to the much smaller beanbag version which was also sold.

I can't find anything about it online unfortunately. Does anyone know the toy I'm talking about?

That kinda looks like one of those bootleg Marios that you win at the fair.

It's like this one: http://www.videogamemm.com/v/Mario/Mario/Plushes/Mario+Wing+Cap+Keychain+Plush.JPG.html

except it was much larger. It was made by BD&A, and it has the official tag and everything. No bootleg. Straight from Nintendo Power's Supply Catalog in 1997.

I'd venture a guess that it isn't worth $100.00 any more, the plush/bean bag craze of the late 90s ended a long time ago.

Might want to ask around on www.gamesniped.com, they see all kinds of odd game paraphernalia and would probably know more about this plush than any where else on the net.

It's from the same catalog where I got the Nintendo beanbag plushies. I don't have a photo of mine, but they're exactly like this. They're from the same catalog from Nintendo Power and also by BD&A.

Thank you. I also tried the other site Doomstink mentioned.
Still waiting a response there.

Thanks a lot for your help, everyone. :)
