Just in time for the holiday season, Nintendo and Build-A-Bear Workshop have teamed up to create a new line of cuddly friends based on our favorite Super Mario characters. The new Nintendo line features Mario Bear, Yoshi, Bowser, and Toad, though the collection also has Princess Peach and Luigi-inspired costumes, wrist accessories, and even the Super Mario Bros. Theme Song.

Those that are looking to get their hands on what appear to be excellent gifts for younger gamers can do so over on the Build-A-Bear Workshop website while they still have some in stock. Some of the Build-A-Bear stores will also be getting shipments of Mario Bear, Yoshi, and Bowser, though they won’t be arriving until this weekend and the availability will be limited. the best option is to go through the website, as free standard shipping is available now through December 17th on purchases $45 or more. Check out the breakdown for each of the Build-A-Bear Super Mario characters below:
