The Wall Street Journal has a pretty interesting story up about the surprise popularity of the Mii.

In it they talk about things like the Mii Station service that creates custom Mii for you for $5, Mii Plaza's virtual collection of thousands of free Mii, and a New York-based sculptor who will create an acrylic painted clay Mii of you for $250.

Ms. Villasenor, the Wii tennis fan, is taking her Mii mania one step further. She recently contacted an artist in Hong Kong who advertised Mii sculptures on eBay and asked him to make cake toppers of her and her fianc 's Miis to put on top of their wedding cake when they get married in September.

"It's a surprise for my fianc ," Ms. Villasenor says. She also plans to set up two Wii-playing stations at the reception so guests could play.

Yeah, I think when people start using your ideas to decorate their wedding cake you can assume you've got a pretty big hit on your hands. Brian Crecente
