Plush Game Consoles Revealed

Posted by simoniker on from the fanboy-stroking-ensues dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the page showcasing a range of handmade 'plush game consoles', including cuddly, non-functional versions of the Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo GameCube, NEC PC Engine (TurboGrafx), and even the Neo Geo. According to the site: "Zumi [the creator] made these plush game consoles from scratch. They were all made by hand, without any tools more sophisticated than a felt pen or piece of paper." The page was recently featured in UK paper-magazine Edge, and there's now one of a limited edition of plush Dreamcasts up on Ebay, for the committed Dreamcast collectors among us.

      Some of the other auctions include some funky mods for video game consoles. The "Skeleton" Saturn is pretty sweet -- translucent case, lights and cut away shielding.

    Cool, these are perfect for throwing when your favorite game has frustrated you to the point of seething rage. I can finally chuck a Gamecube at someone without fearing legal retaliation!

    Or stuff your plush dreamcast with catnip and now even the cat can come to appretiate Sega.

    On Wall Street they say "buy low, sell high" On the pad we say, "buy high, sell high" Isn't that somehow better?

    Nice pillows, but do they provide proper neck and upper back support?
