Check out these tiny little clay versions of video game consoles and their controllers. They’re so small that they’ll literally fit in the palm of your hand.

These tiny consoles may look like the work of Dr. Shrinker (or maybe Dr. Reducto), but the teeny weeny Xbox, Xbox 360, NES (and matching controller earrings) are actually the product of polymer clay artist Lauren of TheClayCollection. They may be just a hair larger than a penny, but each manages to capture the distinct styling and colors of these classic consoles.

Don’t see your favorite console here? That’s okay, because Lauren can custom make mini consoles, controllers and even mini-games based on your special requests. Me? I’d like to see her crank out a tiny Vectrex, or maybe a Fairchild Channel F.

You can find Lauren’s current clay collection over on Etsy.

One of the greatest boxing games of all time has been immortalized in wearable form. This oh-so-awesome handknit scarf features the fighters from the NES classic Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!

Created by El Paso crafter Beatboxtaun, the scarf features the likenesses of two of the game’s pixelated pugilists. At $175, it’s not cheap, but the scarf represents many, many hours of hand crocheting.

If you want to be the proud owner, you better head on over to Etsy, since this is a one-of-a-kind piece.

If you’ve got a serious Mario addiction, you might just have to break open your piggy bank for this. This fun quilt features the likenesses of Mario and his foes in the context of the NES platformer that really put the little Italian plumber on the map.

It looks like Mario just hopped out of his green drain pipe, only to have to face a tough decision. Should he go for the gold coin, flip the Koopa and toss his shell, or squash that Goomba? Oh, life’s little decisions. Why not go for all three in a spectacular display of dexterity? 

The 64-inch square quilt was sewn by the fine folks at Carolina Patchworks (makers of the most-excellent Galaga and Zelda quilts). If you just have to have this on your bed, gather up your gold coins ($350 of ‘em) and jump on over to Etsy before its gone.

Check out these fun Gameboy plush toys I came across in my recent Web travels. Featuring a whimsical, cartoony take on the classic hand-held gaming system, they’re the perfect gift for the Nintendo Fanboy or Fangirl in your life.

Created by Wisconsin crafter KungFuCowgirl, each of the squishy game systems has its own unique personality, thanks to the slight variations in each handmade Gameboy.

They measure in at just a wee-bit bigger than an original Gameboy and come in red, yellow, green, pink or teal. They cost just $14 bucks a piece (so why not buy a bunch?) You can find ‘em over on Etsy.

Ok, this has got to be the most wacky Nintendo-inspired item I’ve seen in a long time ever. Apparently somebody out there with a serious Mario fetish has decided to create a corset using his likeness. Huh? Wha?

I know, it’s as strange as it sounds. Covered with rare 1980s Super Mario Brothers fabric, this oddity was created by TheVintageDoctor. Complete with a lace-up back with metal grommets, Mario will help you keep your waistline in check in case you gobble down one too many 1UP ’shrooms.

Either way, it’s a one-of-a-kind item, which is probably just fine since I can’t imagine there’s too much demand for Nintendo undergarments. But, to each his (or her) own, I suppose. If you just have to have this, head on over to Etsy and grab it before it’s gone.
