NEWS: K'Nex Bowser Mini-Figure

Mario at A Year Of Toys has started the New Year with a rather fine entry in the form of this very cool K'Nex Mario Kart Bowser Building Set mini-figure. I have to admit that I've seen these figures myself in my local Target but didn't pay them much heed. And now I'm regretting that, as they actually look like a lot of fun and the fact that they're not blind-bagged means you can cherry pick the line for the figures you want, which is a cool touch.

See for yourself at A Year Of Toys.
