Destructoid readers, I must say, this is awesome. An eBay user by the name of HelloKitty followed by a ridiculous number of ones is selling these painted NES consoles. They aren't that expensive either with "Buy it Now" price of $125. It isn't that bad when you take into account that you're getting a console too. There are seven different consoles and each of is fairly durable due to the fact that they're painted with acrylics. Hurry up and grab one before the rest of the internet finds them. Links to each auction, containing more pictures, after the jump.

MyCatSucks

I think i'm going to just try to convince my girlfriend to paint me a Metroid one.

Gregor

Yeah, the Metroid one is my favorite too.

Mxyzptlk

Wow, how awesome is that?

Gamechamp

Unfortunatelly, I need a Wii and I already have an NES. So, no Rockman NES for me. :(

2bad4u

That's awesome. All of a sudden I feel like (trying) to paint some random game on my Dreamcast. Maybe Crazy Taxi or something.

Vigor

Bubble Bobble yes there all awesome

some_dude

Artsy Fartsy tag FTW!

CaffeinePowered

The Megaman II and metroid ones are ridiculous, I wonder if they would take commission and I could send them my old NES for a fresh paint job.

BlindsideDork

Boy those sure are pretty....

snotrocket

Those are totally badass and the fact they say they work is even better.

Jordan Devore

Fuck I want that Mega Man one!

Snaileb

Dragon Warrior or Samus for me please. In all actuallity the Linkavige one is the best.

Metroid one looks pretty good, the rest can lick it. So say we all.

pop-pop

Wow, what a really cool idea. I wonder if there's a way to mount those on the wall:) Theres another painter who does similar work, except deals with other nerdy stuff too.
