This is awesome! A
perfect representation of Mario Kart (the pipe frame kart), and something I've been wanting for years...
...except it's
too small.
I know doing a small PVC paves the way for many other characters, and a certain type of collector will want to collect those. But please do a larger 1:4 resin version (same scale as your Mario on Yoshi) of
this Mario, at least, for the other collector demographic, like me, that just wants one larger statue to represent the IP. I don't even really care about the material (resin preferred, but PVC ok) - it's the scale that is the issue for me.
If you do, please consider dropping the light-up feature. It serves no real purpose. Other than that, the smoke and pavement paint app from the exclusive version would be appreciated. To create the exclusive version for the resin, I'd just add a blue shell proximity piece, like you did with the Yoshi egg or Pac-man cherries. Thanks!
