I want the Cupit one, the Diskun one, the Mallo one, the Popo one, the Sukapon one ...

Specifically, I want the Cupit, Diskun, Mallo, Popo and Sukapon throw pillows that are being sold (via redbubble.com) by graphic designer and illustrator Jarmez.

Here are the pillows in question, in case anyone's curious:

Cupit is from the Indieszero-made GBA game, Sennen Kazoku.

Diskun was Nintendo's mascot for its Famicom Disk System.

If you don't know Mallo, go buy Pushmo (3DS) now.

Popo is one of the protagonists in Ice Climber for NES.

Sukapon is from the Famicom fighter, Joy Mecha Fight.

The Jarmez-made pillows above aren't the only ones I'm coveting, of course. I'd also like the Chorus Kids one, the Nana one and the Animal Crossing villager one.

Amazingly, that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of this Redbubble shop's game-inspired head-supporters. Additional "Nintendo Legends" designs can be seen here, for instance, while Mega Man, Pac-Man and Spyro ones can be seen here.

Jarmez is selling small, 16-inch-by-16-inch pillows for just $27.04 ($19.84 if you're only interested in a cover), while medium (18-inch-by-18-inch) and large (20-inch-by-20-inch) ones cost a smidge more.

Ah! What wonderfully obscure references! Mallo's my fave.

I want these. But I doubt my partner will let me put them on the couch. :-/

Thanks, Zach :) I love the Mallo one, too, although if I were forced to pick favorites, I'd probably go with the Popo and Nana ones.

You and me both, Frank! There's no way my husband would allow these on our couch or bed XD

That FDS one is fricking amazing. But the price is little bit pricey for me.(40 dollars with shipping)

thegaygamer.com said...

Is that price due to you wanting a large pillow, casino12, or because shipping any size pillow would be pricey due to where you live? Or maybe both? Either way, sorry :(

Adorable. All of them.

thegaygamer.com said...

You don't have any favorites, Justin?

RetroKingSimon said...

Haha, I think I'd go for the purple one :P

thegaygamer.com said...

Simply because it's purple, Simon, or because it features one of Ice Climber's protagonists? Or maybe both?

RetroKingSimon said...

The flower amuses me. I didn't realise it was from Ice Climber though :P

RetroKingSimon said...

(yes I see you mentioned that now, I guess I missed it!)

thegaygamer.com said...

But it's not a flower! It's actually a little man (boy?) in a fur-lined jacket. Like an Eskimo, basically. Although I can see where you'd think the fur lining looks like the petals of a flower!

In your defense, Simon, the text I used there was VERY small. Sorry about that!

I like that they included the year they appeared
Pushmo is the only one I recognize :(

I also like that the dates are included here, golly_loli. BTW, thanks for the comment--and welcome to my blog :)
