It’s always been about the buttons

Published by Christian at 3:52 pm under Arts & Crafts, Deals

I used to have this “Pog Maker” toy where I could use magazine clippings or color printouts to make my own custom pogs. They’re out of style now, so the toy is just sitting in a closet back home. Buttons, however, never go out of style.

Flickr user Scarlett Dawn is a huge Nintendo fan, and made these quality buttons featuring games like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Sword of Mana, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Advance Wars, and more. She was nice enough to take the picture above for us so you could all get a great look. She’s selling them, too, so you can try to pick some up for yourself - they’re being sold in sets! You can read her blog here and check out these buttons listed on eBay here (look along the left side).

A few more photos can be seen after the break.

Again, these are only some of the buttons that Scarlett Dawn has made. Check out her 1UP blog at this link, and purchase some of the buttons here!

    I like the one featuring Karen from Harvest Moon.

    I think it’s.. Celia, unless I’m looking at the wrong button.

    But oh man I want those Zelda buttons.

    I didn’t even know that they still made buttons ?!?

    D’oh! That is Celia! Sorry…it looked like that box art on Harvest Moon FoMT.

    Sorry…this is random. Did Karen originate from HM64? Or am I wrong? I owned that version…and as far as I know that was the first game in which she appeared.

    I love the old school Link to the Past buttons the best. Awesome art.

    Haha, I just noticed the slightly out of place HamTaro button… :P

    @Michael

    Yeah I was thinking about that….why…..why a HamToro button? It should be replaced with a Samus one instead.
