From the CONSOLE SERIES bootleg toy line.

So I love gaming, especially the NES. It was a huge part of my childhood, and the weirder the game the better. All those kids playing Super Mario 2, I was playing Shadowgate and Kabuki Quantum Fighter. While brainstorming what obscure toy I wanted to make from the NES library I reached in and pulled this rubber marlin from a pile of animal toys. Inspiration struck, and from a really terrible game this bootleg was made. (hey, even Nintendo Power had a paragraph reviewing the game)

The Marlin is small, painstakingly hand painted to recreate the pixelated trophy fish from the game and layered in sealant. I created the design and packaging, and assembled everything by hand. measures about 5×7 with a peg punch our for hanging up and displaying for all to see. Back is blank. It’s made to look like a weird promo or toy line that was supposed to take off but was lost to time. A true collectors item, for that Nintendo fan who says they own everything or even stranger, a true fan of the Blue Marlin game. If you are one of the latter, please contact me because I make these figures for YOU.

All bootlegs are always 1 of 1. I never recreate or make the same bootleg twice, which makes this super rare, collectible, sought after, to be treasured, to be coveted…I think. THIS IS NOT A TOY TO BE OPENED AND PLAYED WITH. You’re not buying some toy, you’re buying a piece of art to display in your game room, store, nerd cave, or as a unique gift to some special nerd in your life.
