Kotaku
Kotakuite BrynnFlynn let us know that there's an eBay auction going on currently for a Disagea Prinny ... or is that a Witzbold?:
I was looking for something new and unique to crochet, and so I thought "Hey, why not make a little Prinny?" A few hours of mad crocheting and accidents later, I had a Prinny from the popular video game series Disgaea. Then I thought, "Hey, why not make it into a Witzbold?" Another hour of messing around with different yarns later, and I had a little replica of the infamous "Banhammer Wielder" from Kotaku.com, the most popular gaming website on the internet.
And there's even a crocheted ban hammer to go with it. Awwww. It can be yours for the current low low bid of $5.99, which is way, way cheaper than most of the crocheted curiosities we post.

Does it act as a voodoo doll? Because if so... SOLD!
Heh, thats pretty cute. I always thought the banhammer would look badasser-er than that though. ):
@PapaBear434: Agreed. >D
Does this mean BrynnFlynn is a bannhammer fanboy? I mean, I've only attempted artisic replications of things I REALLY love.
Just kidding! Looks pretty cool though. Excellent work knitting :-)
i think witzbold is going to outbid me.
I am not a fanboy, I'm just absolutely enthralled by adorable things. And I think that the Prinny constitutes absofriggindorable.
Witzbold, its time to change your avatar ^^
(figures sold separately)
I'm surprised that Witzbold still hasn't responded to this acus... thread :D
Let the sycophantism commence!
//awaits smiting.
Here's me thinking Witzbold was just someone who commented a lot.
I always wondered where that penguin like creature was from, i actually assumed it was the penguin from Mario Kart 64!
It's true, whenever I see Prinnies these days, Witzbold comes to mind before Prinnies do.
Oh my that indeed is some damned fine handywork there!
Bid I shall.
@BrynnFlynn:
It is quite cute, I will give you that. I would bid on it, but I am sadly poor. *tears*
banhammer ftw!!!
I has a bid.
Btw to those who thought I was a penguin. Im not a penguin but the vessel of a damned soul.
It just happens that I look like one. ;D
@BrynnFlynn: Excellent job btw. Thats crazy it just took you an hour to make that.
We shall call you "GOD HAND" from now on.
It's official. Witzbold has jumped the shark.
Witzbold. It's late. It's really late.
*falls asleep at keyboard*
Ships only to the USA? Talk about a lame ass auction.
That's easily the 78th coolest thing I've ever seen.
@Witzbold: Game fucking over if the name gets changed now.
That's awesome.
I'm going to make more, as the auction states, but if anyone has any ideas for other characters they'd like to see made, let me know!
Aww, that's so cute.
But, I can't bid, as I feel it rightfully belongs to someone else...
hey witzy! its so kyut!
@BrynnFlynn: Make a Crecente!
@Bon5ai: If I can figure out how to ship outside of the states, then I would be more than willing to extend the range of shipping.
@KaliKOtt: Dunno if I could, but it might be fun.
Witzbold voodoo here I come!
@PapaBear434: It had better. This way I can shout F--KING FURRIES without repercussion. LOL.
@Frank:
I'm pretty sure you could do that now without repercussions. Let me see...
FUCKING FURRIES!
@BrynnFlynn:
How about a Altair, from Assassin's Creed? Mostly, because I want to see if you can do it.
Prepare to get outbid! I will then control the HAMMER!
Huh, my very own Witzbold VooDoo doll...ahhh the possibilities are now endless!! ;)
This is too awesome, I may make a bid on this but then again in the end I probably wont be able to afford it.
But again that is amazing GOD HAND indeed. so badass.
I foresee whoever buying this being cursed, as others will begin epic quests to steal this artifact from them, so that they might control the BanHammer and use it to drive their enemies before them and hear the lamentations of their women.
@PapaBear434: @Frank: Oh there are repercussions, such as us going "Fucking gamers!" back. Yes. That's all. And it is nowhere near as catchy. :)
And I'd love to bid on this to add it to the cult of the Witzbold collection I have, but I honestly can't :)
If Witz doesn't win, this'll be shameful. Use your kotaku moneyz, Witz!
@Gladman:
He was...and then he won the contest to become a Banhammerer. He gets like $200/mo just to smite the pests.
@BrynnFlynn:
If you can what? Put it in a sealed box, take it to the post office, fill out a Customs slip, and have them apply metered postage to it. It's not terribly difficult, though in the case of an auction (where you'd be charging for S&H), you may want to have them quote you the cost of postage the first time around, bill the winning bidder, and only actually pay for postage once you've received payment.
oyes, I shall cuddle my Witz at night between my legs~
@BrynnFlynn:
Great job GOD HAND!!!
@Foggynotion: - "It's official. Witzbold has jumped the shark"
Haha!
Give it a hat and I'll take it.
Does it explode when thrown?
Freaking sweet. Hey Brynn if you can crochet my face from my icon, I'll buy it and order you a pizza! :-D
Dood!
Well, if I could use ebay I would bid on a crochet kira. now THAT'S win.
Wow, a guy who knows how to crochet! That's totally awsome. That looks so cool.
I tried my hand at that but failed miserably.
@Witzbold: Yeah, damned soul alright, I would HATE to be Etna's bitch
@TheDollHouse: I'm a girl.
@Purple Dave: This was my first time eBaying something ever - forgive me for being noobish in the ways of shipping. I'll add an overseas option for the next Prinny that goes up.
And as for the other ideas, doing an Altair is going to be my next project, I think. I've got all the yarn colors I need, I just need a red for his sash.
@dmitsuki: Hoho I don't think I'd mind. >_>
@Ashurahori: Brilliant idea, the winner should put a pipebomb in it. :D
@BrynnFlynn: I can has Laharl plushie? (: <3
@BrynnFlynn: Oh, sorry. It's still a cool skill to have though.
Wow, excellent work! I read about prinnies on Wikipedia and that alone makes me want to go get Disgaea xD
oh, and is Kotaku really the most popular gaming site on the internet? If not, it should be.
@man_in_gauze: THANK GOD it's not. Can you imagine this comment section as overpopulated as the Gamefaqs forums?
Lol I like how TheDollHouse assumed BrynnFlynn was a dude...
Because I did too until she responded to the assumption :(
Brynn! You know what else is cute?! BENDER!!! If you made a Bender plushie, I would buy it for $50!
If you made Daxter, Ness, Squirtle, or Ratchet though, I would buy it at a high price!
I'm mad, I wish my avatar had action figures. Waiiit a minute....
@Kounji: Whoa when did Kounji have an RX-7
@StevenRafael: I will add them to my list of things to make. Bender should be pretty easy I think... Though I love Squirtle. Decisions, decisions...
...no shipping to canada? :_: it's really cute though!
This isn't made of yarn, it's made of WIN.
ky-oooot!
@KaliKOtt: I totally thought that too.
GOD HAND BRYNN (which, c'mon, is obviously a girl's name)
@dmitsuki:
Dood, I would love to be Etna's bitch. She is so enthusiastically sadistic.
@Ashurahori:
That would suck. We would need to visit the dark assembly and make an army of site mods.
i dont see any other owner besides witz for this item.
Lacks missile launcher and kung-fu grip!
@man_in_gauze: Alexa ranks it above Joystiq... so it is the most popular gaming blog.
