Luigi not so awkward anymore: check out this custom-made figure photo

Being a part of a huge community like Destructoid, it's easy to miss out on the incredible things people do sometimes, but I always try to keep my eye on community member ekoala2002, who some of you may know better as Kody Koala. While he has created many amazing custom toys, this buffed up version of Luigi brought a wry smile to my face.

The artist describes this as his version of "Luigi on Steroids", which you can see more of on his Flickr page. He used Mighty Putty to create the overalls, mustache and shoes. Cho Aniki meets Luigi! I can't help wonder if a Mario might be coming down the line -- I think this Luigi might enjoy having a "friend".

[Thanks, Adam]

LOL. here is where I got my inspiration, in case you have not checked out the original blog post.



I think my next one is going to be Toad. I have an old Mini-Me figure from the Austin Powers series. I think he will make a great looking Toad...after some MINOR changes....LOL
