A Dtoider made this Game Boy 'wise fwom its gwave' photo

Dtoider ekoala2002, also known as Kodykoala, is no stranger to wild custom figurines. As you can see on his community page as well as his home page, his creations include zombified versions of Mario and the gang, cross sections of Mega Man and Guts Man, and even a Mr. Destructoid LEGO minifig.

Kodykoala recently came across an original gray brick Game Boy and was reminded of Game Boy from Captain N. Using that character and the machine's rather poor physical condition as inspiration, he crafted a hell beast straight from our nightmares -- a zombified Game Boy with a thirst for oil and and hunger for circuit boards. I would say that he brought new life to an aging handheld, but... ya know... zombie!

If you want to see more shots of the undead portable, hit on up Kodykoala's Flickr page. If you want to show the man even more love, you can buy the figure for a cool $100.

Kodykoala makes me rethink zombies yet again with a Game Boy of all things [Tomopop]

Cool.
I'm glad the real gameboy system didn't have arms.

If that incarnation of GameBoy had showed up on Captain N every week eating the CPUs out of other handheld gaming devices and sapping its players' IQ points, that show would have been Must See TV long before NBC started running Seinfeld.

Tony, tell me lad, is the title an altered beast reference?

That figure actually reminds me of the horribly decimated but still-working old school Gameboy that's on display at Nintendo World Store. Apparently the thing got caught in an explosion during Operation Desert Storm, but was still able to work fine, despite the massive damage to the exterior (melted plastic and such).
