Make Your Nerdy House A Nerdy Home With Mario, Donkey Kong Decals
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 7:40 AM on June 13, 2008
Maker of high quality wall decals Blik has partnered with Nintendo to bring adhesive fun into the lives of kids, adult adolescents and good ol' regular adolescents everywhere with a new trio of officially licensed decorative stickers. Want to make your home office have a Donkey Kong inspired backdrop? You can! Blik is also offering premium decal sets based on Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros., transforming your den or bedroom into a magical Mushroom Kingdom wonderland—while pissing off your wife!
At $AU 80.08, they aren't on the cheap side, but as I always say, you can't skimp on quality when it comes to wall stickers based on classic Nintendo characters. If you're looking for something less pricey, perhaps the Blik Space Invaders decals (only $AU 48.05!) will scratch that video game sticker itch.

They'd feel stupider if they didn't buy it for that reason, only to see it up at a girl's house!

I have a set of the birds on my wall and I love them. Just being able to reuse them makes it an easy buy. Once I move into my new house, I'm going to order a set. I'm sure any guy I bring back will enjoy them, if not, he won't be around that long.

@noliferuin (PSN): I have the space invaders ones from them in my living room, all the girls I have had in the house think they're awesome. I'm betting the same thing would go for Mario / Donkey Kong as well.

Metroid ones would be quickly acquired.
For now though, I get to keep my monies.

They come off the wall, AND they re-stick as well. So they are reusable! I have the space invader set in my room and LOVE their products.

@noliferuin (PSN): your logic is flawed. a person buying this wouldn't talk to girls let alone take them home.
however, there are the few that have so much confidence that it would make the girls melt... hell, I had smurf sheets in college and the ladies loved doing it on a smurf village

The Mario/DK ones are pretty awesome, but after looking at some of the pictures of the Space Invaders... Hoochie mama, those are freakin' amazing. I'll have to make sure the girlfriend approves of putting those up in the living room.

@jeffx: They also seem to have UK distributors. The Space Invaders ones are available, just not the Mario/DK ones... I expect they will in time... but seeing as the $45 Space Invaders set works out at roughly $70 here, I'm guessing the DK ones will be at least $125, so it may still be worth looking for a US distributor that ships internationally...

@happycodemonkey: I thought about the stencil idea, the stencil might not be too difficult to make, but to apply them to the wall would take forever. Stickers are much quicker.
I would love these for my son's room. He's only 5 months old, but I've been in charge of decorating his room so far. He has a Star Wars poster over his crib. A hockey stick over the door, I would love to have the Mario stickers for his walls. My only problem is, since they are stickers, when he's about two or three, I can see him peeling them off the wall and messing the whole thing up. In that case, the stencil would be much better.

Great... My girlfriend and I are both avid gamers... 1 wall must remain white as I have a projector... this is the only thing keeping me from painting our bedroom black and filling it with space invaders.
She will probably want the Mario ones. I wouldn't mind the retro mario ones with the Luigi from the New SMB ones (Luigi is my favorite character in Mario)

Those would be AWESOME in my work office. All these white walls with just a lone calendar and an Emacs quick reference pinned to them...
Hmm. The space-invader "restik" ones are only $25, too. (A little smaller, but a lot more of them.)
