I've been meaning to do this for a while now... I took the top off a blister packet from a tub of nails and drew out and printed some images, broke a regular Wooly Willy toy for the magnetic dust and pen, used a lot of tape and glue and put it all together and bingo! Instant toy classic! The back side I found off a blog showing Mario's many mustaches. Why didn't anyone else think of this before is beyond me, but I'm having a blast with it right now! xD

Let me know what y'all think!!!! Some pics:

100% RAD

Mario looks so young having been shaven. I would have left the sideburns and eyebrows for the magnet dust, too... that would look creepy.

^ I thought of that, but then I thought it would be creepy too... XD

That's hilarious, thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! :3 I'm glad everyone likes it! I'm thinking of making 2 Luigi ones for my girlfriend and her cousin!

Wow, that's a pretty novel idea. Great work, makes me want to see it in stores, hahah.

Now that is cool, damn Bounce is there anything you can't do?

That's pretty cool.

That's great!

XD I'm not only an artist, I'm also an inventor. You know the charge cords for XBOX 360 and PS3 right? All Wii has is a docking station, which you can't use while you're playing of course, so I invented the Wii Play and Charge kit to charge while you play!!! :

Yes, I'm insane. lol

Wow, I'm getting some PMs to make these Mustache Mario thingies... lol

As of now, I'm not in the situation to make any more as of yet (car troubles, can't get materials or ship anything yet) , but I'll post and let everyone know when I can. Thanks everyone for for asking tho! :3

Epic.

Damnit man I need you to live closer LOL couple of those wii play n' charge kits would be awesome and keep the kids out of my rechargeable batteries.

and yes I already figured out your insanity shortly after your arrival here at NA Some say I am mental, but I have yet to see it myself.

lol. With great gifts comes great insanity.

Hah thats awsome!  This looks like an official nintendo product, excellent job!

That thing is sweet! Awesome job!

I always wondered what Mario looked like without a molest-stache.

Very cool DIY bro.

 

Very neat idea. You should definitely look into selling this. Its not my kind of thing personally, but might be an idea especially for the little kiddies to play with.

That is awesome! I remember having a Wooly Willy or 2 but I don't remember seeing a Mario version. I know this brings back memories for the near 30somethings like me...damn I feel old.

Well made! Very impressive and looks authentic too!

Since people are interested, I'm definitely considering it. :3 I might post a sell thread when I make them.

@laserman81: I think this is the first time a Mario Wooly Willy has been made!
Also, don't feel old man, like most of us here, we're right there with ya! I'm in my late 20s and I still see myself as a kid.
I miss having the old skool things too... nostalgia is one hell of a drug! xD

Yeah you BETTER make me and Rachel one. xD oh wait was I not supposed to see this? xDDDD

Hey babe. :3 Yeah, I'm gonna make you and Rachel one! xD It's gonna be Weegee!!!
