Welcome again to our regular feature, Video Game Crafts ?N Gear! There?s tons of passionate gamers out there, and decidedly not enough gaming swag in the world. That?s why these talented creators make their own, and we round up whatever awesome custom-made art, sculptures, toys, clothing, or random items we happen to find. Of course, we?ll include whatever official merchandise we think is cool, too!
By now its a little late to celebrate Halloween festivities, but that doesn?t make these painted Pac-Man pumpkins (try saying that five times fast) any less awesome. We also have an amazing tribute to the NES Legend of Zelda and some epic Nintendo scuptures made out of? cans?
Remember, as always you can click each image to view it full-size. Let?s begin!
Pac-Man Pumpkins
So it turns out these are pretty old ? and no, not because this wasn?t posted on Halloween, but because these babies were made back in 2009! I?m amazed I haven?t seen them before.
Submitted by Dave Adams for a Halloween contest held on Makezine, Dave recreated Pac-Man, the ghosts, dots, and fruit by cutting and painting pumpkins.
?It?s Dangerous to Go Alone!? Zelda Key Hanger
Never has the iconic quote ?it?s dangerous to go alone! Take this? quote from the old man in The Legend of Zelda been used in such a humourous, practical way. Check out this key hanger ? its like?your keys are ?being given to you by the old man himself!
These are actually available for purchase right now on Etsy from user GeekyandChic, with one-hook and two-hook options also available.

Mario and Pokemon Can Sculptures
When guzzling away endless beer cans, the concept of ?art? doesn?t often cross our minds as we stumble and embarrass ourselves in a drunken stupor. Genius Japanese sculptor ?Makaon?, however, found a practical use for tin containers, and it may be the most bizarre yet most impressive thing we?ve featured so far. Check out these amazing tin statues of Nintendo mascots Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Charizard.
Using?Heineken,?Coca Cola?and Blast Energy cans, Makeon cuts and shapes them to recreate our favourite plumbers and elemental critters. She has also made many other?sculptures?of various animals and other iconic characters such as Batman, Buzz Lightyear and Darth Vader. Kudos for the Totoro sculpture.
That?s all for this week, but you can check out last week?s?Portal Gun, Zelda Necklace, and Magnetic Katamari Ball!
