Miis are pretty darn cute, there is no doubt about it. But did you know those customizable Nintendo Wii characters are also serious business? World-renowned Master Mii Artisan Bobby Bobby (who is currently ranked #1 on the American Mii Artisan Rankings on the Check Mii Out channel) is now offering personalized Miis on eBay for all of you hardcore gamers desiring a “professional touch to your Mii avatar”. You would think with his impressive credentials and fancy title that his services would run you hundreds of dollars, but he somehow manages to keep his prices at only $7.99 per Mii.
He offers a small portfolio of past clients so you can take a peek at his work. Spitting images of the person they are patterned after? I will let you be the judge of that. Thankfully the Mii ordering process is quite simple. You send him a picture of yourself, preferably a nice headshot, and he sends you a personalized Mii a few days later. I just may need to get into this business. I could add my own little touch of adding a small pink bow to every client. I am sure everybody would love that.

Pink bow… yer a nut BS Angel.
But it does appear this guy does a nice job, I think those are good likenesses of the people in the pictures.

I…guess anything above $7.99 would be unreasonable lol I don’t really know the current rates on Mii creation. Geez, I guess you can really make a side job out of anything these days.
What’s next? Hey if anyone wants to get better at Halo 3, I charge per the hour ;)

Oohhh very interesting! Master Chief as a Mii with a pink bow would be darn cute!

Uh, wait. Can’t people just do this for free with the online Mii maker or their own Nintendo Wii?
Posted by mendicantbias00 on March 27, 2008 at 9:21 am
lol of course they couldn’t. His will be much better because he is an artist. The feeble minds of the masses could hardly conceive a Mii as spectacular as those he creates.

This will be a multi-million dollar business by the year 2015. Another boat I missed!

Isn’t this just the same thing as MiiStation, which launched over a year ago? They’re more expensive, but seem more legit …
