eBay seller hellokitty11111111111 (yeah, that's right) is auctioning off a number of hand painted, custom NES consoles, including the pictured Metroid version, as well as ones based on Mega Man 2, Kid Icarus, Dragon Warrior, Bubble Bobble, The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. 3. At starting prices ranging from $120 and $150, these one-of-a-kind items aren't cheap, but they look surprisingly nice. Okay, that Kid Icarus looks half-assed at best, but many of them look quite lovely.

From the oddly capitalized item description:

The System Has been Custom Hand Painted With Acrylic Paints and then Sprayed down with 3 to 4 Coats of Clear Acrylic Sealer to protect your Painting from being Scratched or Ruined. It also Gives your Painted Nintendo a Wicked Awesome Shine to it that really does the artwork Justice. Over 10 Hours of Painting Went into this Nintendo! This Hand Painted Nintendo's is 1 of a Kind. No One on Ebay is Doing anything like this and The Painted Nintendo Is in Absolute Center Piece To your Video Gaming Collection.

At those prices, I won't be biting, but those with deeper pockets should check out the whole line. Michael McWhertor
