Alright, I'll do it.
Not sure about the frequency. But I'm thinking a couple times each week. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to show up.

Non-selected Mii #1

Robocop

It's been a week, so here's another one.

Non-selected Mii #2

Goomba

Oh my gosh... the goomba is brilliant. Glasses for the feet!

Did you design these yourself? I had no idea Miis could be so inventive.

Some yes, some no. Some are ripped out of some Nintendo Power issues from when the Wii launched. I have one that I considered that I think is unbelievably clever. I'm sure people have seen it. I'll post that one next time.

The figure showed up today.
I'll post the remaining Mii's through this week and show off the figure on Friday. It'll give me time to take some proper pictures.

Non-selected Mii #3

Bowser

Good one! I can only imagine what the real deal looks like because these are pretty damn cool so far.

This was the conundrum that Crono and I talked over when he initially figured out that he won. These, although cool looking, may not translate well into the figure and didn't want to waste it, cause that would totally suck if it came in and looked nothing like the mii.

The figure looks EXACTLY like the Mii I did choose. Though I didn't end up getting a "zany" one made.
I know these are really building it up. They're all kinda crazy or weird ones.

And on that note, here's today's:

Non-selected Mii #4

Alex Murphy

This one might feel like a cheat (sorry!), but I did consider Murphy and Robocop versions.

So without telling us what it is, how satisfied are you in its physical instantiation?

Also, just tell us what it is.

I will gladly say what it is and show it off at the end of the week. Seriously, I just don't have any pictures yet.
I also know, flat out ... people are going to be disappointed when I saw what the Mii I decided on is.

It's a very good printing. But it is noticeably 3D printed. I don't know if people are familiar, but you will, generally, get a layering effect on the sides of 3D printed items depending on your fill rate and things like that.

Overall, I'm happy with it. It's very unique.

I know its teasing! Just be patient, let me show it off right. It's a unique officially licensed figure after-all.
