Food Flippin' Mario Batali Is Here!

You know your famous when they make you into an action figure! If you watched Mario Batali's television special a while back, you might have seen Mario playing with a wind-up toy of himself that was still in production. Well, the officially licensed Food Flippin' Mario finally hits stores July 2006.

Food Flippin' Mario is a tin wind-up toy about 5 1/4" high. In one hand toy Mario flips spaghetti and meatball and in the other hand he shakes a bottle of his secret sauce. Mini Mario even wears Mario's trademark red shorts and orange clogs. Food Flippin' Mario retails for around $15.95 and is made by Rocket USA. Good fun!

Food Flippin' Mario is available at higher end toy shops. Here's one place online I found the toy for sale: Toynk.com
