JAKKS Pacific has officially announced its second wave of merchandise for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, including the interactive Chomping Wonder Bowser Jr. figure you can pre-order right now on May 15, 2026 at Target in the US and Smyths in Europe. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is absolutely destroying the global box office right now, grossing over $942 million worldwide so far.
So, it's no surprise that the toy tie-ins are expanding rapidly to keep up with the massive box office buzz. The initial Super Mario Galaxy Movie toyline from Jakks Pacific already moved a ton of inventory, but this upcoming Fall 2026 wave moves past standard posable toys to give you actual mechanical traits and incredibly deep-cut lore references.
JAKKS Pacific goes big with an interactive eight inch Wonder Bowser Jr figure
The second wave of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise from Jakks Pacific hits shelves later in summer 2026, but the big pre-sale kicks off on May 15, 2026, for the new eight-inch Chomping Wonder Bowser Jr. figure. This plastic villain doesn't just sit on a shelf collecting dust; it packs thirteen points of articulation and a mechanical chomping motion that triggers when you push his shell forward.
JAKKS Pacific also tossed in a multi-head paint brush packed with four swappable tips, letting you change tools between a standard brush, an axe, a mace, and a heavy arrowhead. If you swab the brush tip with water, it triggers a repetitive water-reveal action that mimics ink splatters all over the place. It's an awesome callback to how Wonder Bowser Jr. wreaks havoc across the galaxy.

Chomping Wonder Bowser Jr. Canadian pre-orders remain unconfirmed
There's a catch if you're trying to pre-order Chomping Wonder Bowser Jr. in Canada. The initial announcement locks Chomping Wonder Bowser Jr. behind a strict retail exclusive partnership with Target and Smyths. Since neither of those storefronts operates in Canada, local distribution details are totally up in the air.
Based on how previous exclusive waves rolled out across the country, this item will likely release as an EB Games Canada exclusive. Nothing's official yet, so we aren't expecting pre-orders in Canada just yet without a localized retail partner stepping up first.
Cosmic playsets and classic deep cuts round out the Fall lineup
The rest of the upcoming Jakks Pacific Super Mario Galaxy Movie wave 2 fall 2026 collection doesn't skimp on deep-cut lore either. Walmart secured its own set of exclusives, including a Mario Riding Yoshi feature figure and pull-back vehicles featuring Yoshi on a motorcycle and Bowser Jr. inside his signature Clown Car. If you prefer building out full interactive backdrops, a Deluxe Wonder Bowser Jr. Planet playset comes packed with a mini figure and a matching vehicle.
The coolest reveal is easily the Minus World diorama, which drops highly requested mini figures of Wart and a Penguin Toad. Throw in premium five-inch figures for Flying Mario, Cloud Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, alongside standalone nine-inch plush toys for Flying Mario, Cloud Luigi and Rosalina, and you've got an absolute mountain of plastic to track down before the year ends.
Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise dominates the 2026 retail calendar
JAKKS Pacific handled previous film toy lines using a staggered release structure, with new figures showing up steadily rather than all dropping at once. This fall 2026 lineup proves they're sticking to that exact playbook to keep toy shelves busy throughout the year. The Jakks Pacific Super Mario Galaxy Movie wave 2 also builds on a massive wave of Super Mario merchandise, from the Uniqlo Canada graphic UT shirt collection to Spin Master’s Hatchin’ Yoshi. Multiple manufacturing partners are clearly lining up gear to hit shelves alongside the film's theatrical run.
If you're looking to expand your Super Mario collection, the broader 2026 marketplace has plenty of options. The recently revealed 2026 Hallmark Keepsake ornaments featured in the annual Dream Book show that Mario gear is taking over every holiday corner, even if those specific festive decorations aren't direct movie tie-ins. As these new figures, playsets, and seasonal collectibles start showing up on local inventory trackers, we'll keep monitoring retail listings and Canadian pre-order windows.
