Want to be possessed by a desire to do evil, take control of people, and start a cult based on the color blue? Then the latest Hobonichi Mother Project merchandise item is for you – a miniature replica statuette of the Evil Mani-Mani Statue from EarthBound/Mother 2. It glows with an eerie light… so eerie that it trended on Twitter upon announcement. This is another function of its evil power…

At a very creepy ¥9,999 (~$73 at current exchange), the 20cm tall statue glimmers with all the prestige of an Oscar statue and none of the pretention. As with all Hobonichi Mother merch, it ships internationally, and pre-orders are open for the rest of March, with the statues shipping out in late May. Grab one before it’s too late… after all, it’s so shiny…
