IGN:

December 10, 2003 - Nintendo yesterday unveiled its five-foot-tall Mario wax figure at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Hollywood, California. The character, the first-ever videogame mascot to be inducted into the Museum, was placed at the former spot reserved for wax incarnations of Neo and Trinity from The Matrix movies.

Nintendo paraded one of its own around in a Mario suit to promote the wax figure unveiling.
