You can get soft Sackboy dolls and spend your days watching videos of Sackboys (and girls) cavorting in custom levels, but if there’s one thing we’ve lacked, it’s Sackboy clothing.

Now, instead of dressing your Sackboys, you can dress up as a Sackboy. Your head can dress up, at least, but surely Etsy will eventually yield enough crocheted items to put together a full rig.

Etsy crafter ShadowsInTheNyte has quite the array of game-inspired gear for sale, including Kirby hats, and others that feature Moogle and Cactuar heads, for all the Final Fantasy fans out there.

Monopoly Nintendo Collectors Edition

The game features special pewter Nintendo tokens including Mario’s cap, Link’s iron boots, Donkey Kong’s barrel, a Hylian shield, a Koopa shell and an NES controller. The game board is loaded with references to everything from Mario to Kirby to Zelda to Samus and more.

Even the Community Chest and Chance cards have been cleverly “Nintendized” with phrases like “Hit top of flagpole. Collect $20.” and “Turn off your system before saving your game. Go back 3 spaces.”

It’s definitely worth a look for that Nintendo fanboy (or girl) in your life.
