Remember Mario? He's back -- in button form!

What are these perfect for? Making a fabric-based stop-motion Mario animation, that's what. This latest batch of buttons from Etsy craftsman Spooon features easily movable characters and items, each faithfully recreated from original NES sprites. Why, nab a set of these handy control buttons, and you'll have hours of fun manually moving our plucky hero through all kinds of pinning adventures.

Better yet, Spooon also whipped up a bunch of magnets featuring Space Invaders and Pac-man characters, so there's no real need to ever leave your kitchen. Sit by the fridge and enjoy! The sets are available in button ($8) or magnet ($10) form, so the choice of creating a retro fridge or bag is entirely up to you. The store is open for business, so take a crafty trip down nostalgia street.

The irony of bringing back Alf in Pog form is that now you'd have to bring back Pogs in another form. I bet alot of the youngins around here don't even remember Pogs. Fun fact: my brother did a short film his senior year (he was a film student) that was a parody of Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" entitled "Pogs Back". http://youtube.com/watch?v=sbsIhrQLmhE

So why are you against software piracy but not against art piracy?

Just curious...
