Amazing Mii Merchandise That You Can't Have
Well, in actuality, you can have one. Coda and Panic Inc. co-creator, Apple geek and sexy Nintendo fanboy (which, for some reason, all kind of makes a lot of sense), Cabel, revealed on his blog two new mii related goodies that recently landed in his pretty little hands.
The first is the one you actually stand a hope of owning... a styrofoamy plasticky figurine of your very own mii! Created by a company called Fabjectory also known for immortalizing Second Life avatars, all you need is a little narcissism and a solid $50 (at least) to have one of your own. It's little, but pretty cute. The must have summer gift for that Wii fan in your life!
The other thing is just painful, and it's much prettier. Apparently, if you're a member of Club Nintendo in Japan, and you spent enough money on Wii games, they send you the magic item in the beautiful silver box. Read it and weep... YOUR VERY OWN MII ENGRAVED BATTERY COVER SHIELD FOR YOUR WIIMOTE. Oh, the horror. I want one so bad I've broken into a cold sweat and have some serious nausea. When, oh when, will American companies (or subsidiaries *cough*NOA*cough*) treat it's loyal consumers this well?? 'Tis a travesty.
Excuse me while I cry over some retail therapy.

Thanks for writing about the Fabjectory service, a couple quick notes though:
- While a little narcissism is maybe healthy, we've actually found that the majority of our Mii figures are bought as gifts for someone else.
- The figures are actually also a little sturdier and denser than you might expect. They are basically plaster and super glue, so they're more along the lines of a sandstone or sheet rock than a Styrofoam or plastic.
Thanks again,
