Fans of the Nintendo brand are outraged by Logan Paul’s latest DIY project. Logan Paul probably thought his fans would appreciate his artistic ability, but the gaming consoles were ruined and netizens were horrified.
Using old Game Boy Colors, he created a tabletop in the video posted to his social media pages. A group of Logan’s friends managed to get hold of 15 classic handhelds and used epoxy resin to permanently fix the devices, rendering them unusable.
Among all handheld devices, the Game Boy Color is the third most popular model. On 23 March 2003, the production of this famous gaming system was discontinued. There have been no more consoles produced since that time.
Internet Reaction To Logan Paul’s New Project
In a tweet on December 27, the 26-year-old podcast presenter demonstrated his DIY skills. Each Game Boy piece was coated in resin as part of his project. This was accomplished by putting them in a mold and then filling it with extra resin. A Pokemon frame was placed around the perimeter of the sculpture to give it structure.
Despite the fact that many fans assumed the consoles were already destroyed, a handful found them to be in fantastic shape.
Many people on the internet noted that these Game Boy models are quite rare. There are a few additional places that offer these, with Amazon and eBay selling them for around $70.
Users on Twitter reacted by saying that this appears to be reasonably cool, but part of it is irritating by Logan Paul’s recent ruination of 15 Gameboy colors, some of which are limited edition. They haven’t become extinct yet, but this has hastened the process. “And you could have probably made fake game boys that look like the same thing when in resin.”
Another user said he will never allow Logan Paul or the government to take his Gameboy Color. Another said that the Logan Paul Gameboy thing has to be a new low for online discourse.
The backlash Logan Paul is receiving from the gaming community has not been addressed by him, and he won’t respond any time soon.
This looks decently cool, but part of me is bothered how you just ruined 15 gameboy colors, some of which limited edition. They’re not that rare yet, but this sped up that process, and you could have probably made fake game boys that look like the same thing when in resin
