Kodykoala makes me rethink zombies yet again with a Game Boy of all things

Zombies are so dead, if you'll pardon the obvious pun. I said as much at the beginning of the month with Kodykoala's revisitation of his Zombie Luigi, and darn it did I believe that'd be the end of the zombie hordes. Well it's not and yet another wave has started, though I'm slightly more okay this time. Why? Because somehow Kody has managed to switch things up just enough to honestly intrigue me. How? With a custom zombie Game Boy.

I'm going to go out on a limb and just assume that the reasoning behind my enjoyment here rests solely on the fact that it's a Game Boy we're talking about, one of the purest goods that this world or the next has ever known. Then again what's happening is the undeath of a Game Boy in an unsettlingly fascinating fashion. I'm repulsed but I cannot look away, as if a dear friend was turned into a zombie before my eyes and all I could think about was how in a few moments I would have to stomp their head in. Oh poor Game Boy, how I shall miss you!

Standing roughly 6-7 inches, the zombie Game Boy is made using some Iron Man feet, some Iron Monger hands, and a real Game Boy cracked open and mutilated for our sick pleasure. You're a sick man Kobykoala! What did this Game Boy ever do to you other than provide countless hours of love?! This is worse than Will Smith's dog in I Am Legend! Because I actually like Game Boys! If you feel the need, there are more pics up on Kody's Flickr page, and if you're really interested it's up for sale at his store page for USD$100. I don't think I could bear to deal with this horror. Kodykoala, you have declared war on my childhood for the last time!

...At least for this month anyway.
