Mario Kart Series
First released in July 2019, the Mario Kart Series is mostly faithful to the game designs. The karts are metal casted while the characters are plastic sculptures based mostly on their appearance in Mario Kart 8 but are not interchangeable. In 2020, a new line of karts with gliders launched alongside the original line. These models feature a grip situated on the back part of the car that normal models do not have. As of February 2022, there is a total of 22 characters (29 counting recolors but not the Yoshi Egg Series) and 12 karts in different combinations.

Before the line was officially launched, 2 kart + glider models were available exclusively to the San Diego Comic-Con attendees. These exclusives came packaged in a black blind box with a case and a Rainbow Road background motif. The standard content was a Silver Mario + Silver Standard Kart + Silver Glider, but there was a 1-in-10 chance of getting a Gold version. These models have never been made commercially available.
