"Super Professional" started toy-life in 2018 as part of a mash-up of "Super Mario Bros" video game characters and the moving visual designs from Luc Besson's "Léon: The Professional", I which "Mario" now plays "Leon" the Hitman, and "Princess Toadstool" is "Matilda", with her own "Boo"-toy in tow...!
The figure aesthetic has since been parlayed into multiple "Super Professional"-releases in multiple colorways (alas leaving Princes and Boo behind for the most part), as well thing on the guise of other cinematic references, including Forest Gump, pirates and castaways ... and ultimately returning to its "The Professional"-roots with introducing the Bowser villain and having Luigi as the villain too
