I Challenge You Come and Collect Me

I Challenge You Come and Collect Me is a series of unlicensed toys based on Nintendo's Mario franchise, mostly the Mario Kart series. Although the exact company and release date is unknown, it is stated to be in circulation since early 2023. In a few cases, the toys might also be sold individually.
This series of toys, although rare, is often seen in Latin America (especially in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Guatemala), although they might also be sold and even produced in China, as per most bootleg toys.
Appearance[edit]
The toys are pretty much figures based on Mario characters, mostly riding their karts. Either 6 or 12 are included per set, although as mentioned above, at least one figure was also sold as an individual product.
In the non-Mario Kart sets, at least four of the characters on their karts are included, alongside at least 4 coins and at least 8 standard Mario characters.
For the Mario Kart sets, the artwork on the box is taken from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, although the characters eyes are covered with what appear to be stars, likely to avoid copyright infringement; this might also explain the toy's long name, therefore making the Mario reference less explicit.
Trivia[edit]
- This is one of the most obscure unlicensed Mario toys in existence, with very few photos and even info online.
