Of all of the characters in the Super Mario games, I think the Goombas are some of the most innocuous and easy to deal with. But in the hands of toy customizer KodyKoala, one particular Goomba is a serious badass.

A while back, toy modder KodyKoala built an epic Yoshi mech and an equally awesome Luigi. I was poking around over on Etsy this morning when I stumbled onto another great build by Kody. The vehicle is a mashup of a Pac-Man bank and a non-functional R/C 4×4, among other bits.

Despite being just a hovering orb, Portal 2’s Wheatley is arguably one of the greatest video game characters of all time. At least one of the greatest video game characters without arms or legs. Now, the disembodied, moronic sphere has a body of his own.

We’ve all seen what could happen if humans became zombies, but what if your old Nintendo Game Boy Color returned from the dead as a zombie? The results are more cute than horrifying.

Perhaps it was because it gave me the chance to pretend I was a surgeon at age 10, or maybe it was just the risk of tiny shocks that made Operation one of my favorite childhood games.

We don’t have nearly enough Super Mario inspired board games and this one is a work of sheer genius, turning Hungry Hungry Hippos into an amazing Koopa battle where you eat everything that you can.

We’ve seen plenty of Kody Koala’s work in the past and it never disappointments. These Custom Gaming Themed Boardwalk Cabinets however, are a whole new level of awesome.

As expected, Kodykoala follows up his Mecha Luigi statue with a zombified version of the other Mario brother. Not even Koopa would want to mess with this bad dude.

KodyKoala‘s been on a roll lately. It seems like he’s churning out a custom figure every week, from anatomy statues to robot dinosaurs to zombie dinosaurs. Now he’s finally come around to making an action figure worthy of the other super Mario brother:

Obvious pun is obvious, so I’ll stop there and let you look at the thing itself: Kodykoala – who also made the Yoshi Mecha and Zombie Yoshi statues – used a vinyl Gutsman as well as “parts from random robots and things” to make this statue.

After mechanizing Mario’s dinosaur companion, Flickr user Kodykoala drains the life out of Yoshi. That’s one nasty zombie. Kodykoala also answered my only complaint about Mecha Yoshi and added the dinosaur’s trademark tongue, making him a prehistoric version of the Smoker from Left4Dead.

After years of being someone else’s steed, Yoshi finally gets his own ride, thanks to custom action figure maker/Flickr user/Nintendo super fan Donald aka Kodykoala. I love the details on his custom Yoshi mech, from the bolt-like markings to the scratches and faded paint.

I love this little Mario Kart sculpture made out of coins, binder clips, wire, and other found office supplies. From the creative mind of Donald Kennedy (aka Kody Koala).
