ThinkGeek June 2008 catalog’s game-related goodies
The most recent issue of ThinkGeek catalog has been delivered and, as usual, it features several gamer goodies. Here’s a list of the more (and less) notable game-related goodies in the June 2008 ThinkGeek catalog.
On the more notable side there’s a programmable keyboard with mini OLEDs, Mario Kart slot cars, Halo 3 replicas and Zelda plush…
Japanese Import: Super Mario Bros. plush keyhains
Our favorite Japanese import site, J-List (J-Box) is selling Super Mario plush keychains or, really, mini stuffed characters with keychains protruding from their heads. Of course, if you are a Japanophile you’ll consider hanging these from your cell phone or backpack instead of using them for your car keys.
The characters available in the set are Mario, Luigi, Fire Mario, Goomba and a Super Mushroom. Each keychain is $17, chosen at random by he staff. which typically means the box design makes it impossible to tell which on you are getting until you open it.
“... these plush mini keychain figures make a great addition to your backpack, car, or keychain gacha gacha (rattling around) cluster. Based on the New Super Mario series designs and in brilliant color, these little plush figures are your key Nintendo style additions to any occasion.“

Japanese Import: Mario classic controller golf game
Here’s another wacky Nintendo product from Japan. Made to look like an old school Famicom controller, this little device actually controls a mini Mario figure that hits little golf balls.
Hour and hours of desktop gaming, literally. There’s also a Luigi version available on the site but any true gamer would go for Mario first. Each golf game sells for $18
The game comes with the controller, Mario, a small hole and two tiny golf balls.
