The gold Mario amiibo was distributed by Walmart last month, but we’re still waiting on an official announcement (and launch) of the silver variant. It’s particularly strange then that one fan has already managed to get his hands on a silver Mario.

“matteomax” recently won a Chinese auction for the figure, and although it’s unclear how the seller originally obtained it, everything seems to be legitimate. As shown below, the amiibo came pre-loaded with a silver token for use in Mario Party 10.
