If you don't think that's impressive, you should make one that is.  :o

Erm, did you watch the video, and are you familiar with wiggy's work?

It's not a simple paint job, it's custom molded buttons, reengineered case, etc etc.

That's what I'm saying. If this is easy, then it should be easy money for you. I'd buy one if the price were right.

Wiggy,

If you're still looking for how to sell this - please consider a auction with profits going to Child's Play.  I think this could bring in some bank for the charity. :D

No one said it was easy. I just said i wasn't impressed. This just seems to be over hyped in my opinion by all the Hypebeasts. I'm not knocking his line of work, but it's really not special.

Nice looking. :o

Thank you, sir :)


lol... That was yours?  I've seen it on several different sites. :D

Yeah, it definitely made the rounds quickly.


hella sweet, looks official  :o

;D


Was just watching the video (still am) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o53Ah-Vrx9I, but:

Wiggy you look and sound so different I expected!!!

I'm actually a 350lb black woman who wears an eye patch. That was just my "average white guy" costume :P


Nice hat!

Haha, thanks!  I've got like 3 of em. I tend to wear hats out pretty quickly, so I keep em stocked up.


I've been wanting a 2ds and this is almost perfect to me.

I say this with the highest respect for your work as it is, but is it possible to do a lighter shade of green on the buttons and hinge? They seem kind of dark pine green; when I think of Luigi I think of bright green like on the box.

I thought the Luigi outline imprinting on the back was a nice touch and was wondering how that would look if the Luigi outline was painted in green to match the buttons and hinge.

Very cool

The original plan was plain ol' Luigi colors, but that didn't really hold my interest, so we went with the dark metallic green and off-white. I could do bright green and bright white, just wasn't unique enough IMO.


Yeah, that 2ds luigi looks incredible.

Thanks!

If you think that's all I did, then you're sorely mistaken.  Not to mention that this was built within about a week of launch.


Wiggy,

If you're still looking for how to sell this - please consider a auction with profits going to Child's Play.  I think this could bring in some bank for the charity. :D

Did you watch the vid?  That's pretty much the plan as it stands ;)

Though we can't afford to give 100% away :-\

 You don't have to be impressed, but trying to diminish the amount of work that it took is quite ignorant.

Diminish? Repeat to me where I diminished your work? Paint the console, which you did. Made a Repro box, which you did. Facts right? Sorry if I forgot to add in silicone mold of buttons, but that hardly seems like much work since housewives do that in their spare time. (I admit that last sentence was slightly diminishing just as an example as to what a diminishing statement is.)."Its not special" is hardly diminishing. It's an opinion. We are all entitled to our own opinions so to say another person's opinion is "quite ignorant" is actually quite judgmental.

You call it a Luigi version, I think that it's more of a Michigan State edition.  ::)

Haha surprisingly you look almost exactly as I expected, but sound way different. So I was half right, lol.

Does look pretty nice. I've been absorbed in my own projects and I guess I missed all the hype.
 I didn't see/hear anything until you posted on facebook, lol.

Why should I repeat myself?

And again, I clearly said that you don't have to be impressed by it or think that it's special. I never argued with your opinion.

The fact that you further diminish the work proves that you're not only ignorant, but also disrespectful.  Calling out your ignorance is not a judgement, but rather a statement of the fact. You are ignorant. It simply means that your knowledge of what went into this is lacking.

So how did that debossed Luigi appear on the back?  You've conveniently neglected to touch on that and dismiss is as the work of some housewife (which is not only insulting to me, but housewives everywhere as well). Talk about judgmental.

Clearly by calling me ignorant you were arguing with my opinion. My knowledge is not lacking, it is the reason why I'm not impressed. You're clearly giving yourself entirely too much credit here. You are completely out of line in calling me ignorant because I'm not suckling at your teet. It seems like you haven't been criticized before. Can you not handle someone not liking your work? As far as to say I'm ignorant because I'm not impressed, step off your high horse. Take the criticism instead of getting on the defense about it. This is a free forum for such things. People are gonna love it or hate it. And if it hurt your feelings let me call the wah-mbulance for you.
