Title: Your favorite Mii's...
Post by: esteban on February 17, 2007, 03:54:57 AM
Do you prefer to model your Mii's after Disney's Higglytown (http://www.disney.co.uk/DisneyChannel/binary/htmlsite/higglytown_heroes/banner404_152.jpg), which is what Nintendo was certainly "inspired" by when they implemented the Mii Channel...

Or, are you more old-skool and minimalistic, like myself, and prefer to go the route of Little People (Fisher-Price) (http://www.thisoldtoy.com/fisher-price/dept-5-nursery/e-Jumbo-LP/Jumbo-LP-ID.html). (Note: I dig Playskool's "Play Friends" (Blockheads) (http://toys2remember.blogspot.com/search/label/Playskool) as well, but you can't make a Mii like that, as far as I know. Perhaps in the future?)

Or, do you compromise between these two positions and find yourself creating Mii's that harken back to Weebles (Playskool) (http://bonanzajellybean.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/weeble.jpg). Be sure to check out the slightly-unnerving UK-varient of the Weebles (http://www.watchtheskies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/weeble14%5B1%5D.jpg). Does Nintendo allow you to add props like lollipops and police batons to your Mii? If not, they should seriously consider doing so.

:)

BONUS: While you are using the Mii Channel to create your Weebles, I suggest you listen to this single by Carter USM (http://cgi.ebay.com/Carter-USM-Lean-On-Me-I-Wont-Fall-Over-UK-CD_W0QQitemZ4779631922QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting). All the tracks are great, but their cover of Sugarcube's / Bjork's song "Hit" is simply, friggin' unbelievable. A+

Also, you might want to pick up "Here come the ABC's" album by They Might Be Giants. The entire album is great (my daughter listens to it constantly -- I have no choice), and you get the theme song for "Higglytown Heroes" as a bonus track (it's also the weakest track). A+

Have fun!

Oh my god, I swear I used to have that one!

I almost, and I mean just almost agree with you there, but I still have to give it to Christian Slater for his ultra-coolness  8) . Feldman and Haim are definitely the prince of the universe (yes they have to be combined as one :) ).

Yes, I'd love to see a picture of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim Weebles. In fact, it would be neat to have a series of them: starting from their bright, early careers and slowly devolving into their current dispositions. Beginning, middle and "end", as it were. :)

Those would be awesome! I actually say Corey Feldman and Haim together in a Lost Boy's anniversary interview from last December and Haim is in much better shape than he used to be (not fat, can actually coherently speak). I hope to see more from Haim in the future.

Which one in the one who died from using drugs... Corey Feldman or Corey Haim?  Maybe all Coreys overdose?

Anyone have a Mii of the guy who is on the TG16 box?

Neither of them have died yet. If one did, it would've definitely been Haim since he was really, really messed up in the mid-90's.

Drug addicts? They are no longer masters of the universe.

OK, Joe :). Call me crazy, but the TG16 Boy always reminded me of Johnny Galecki:

mixed with a bit of Jason Hervey (yes, I had to look up both actors' names!):

Agreed?

Spooky! 

I was searching to see if anyone else had posted that TG16 kid looks like Johnny Galecki and found this gem... posted 3 years before Corey Haim died of an overdose.
