In a Reddit post, aSuper Mariofan known as CrispyFrenchFry showcased their impressive Bowser figure made out of pipe cleaners. The image shared by the creator had the character positioned on a flat surface in front of an appropriate red background. For Bowser’s design, the artist managed to add an incredible amount of detail to the fuzzy figure, replicating nearly every aspect of his appearance in vivid colors thanks to using a variety of pipe cleaners. A few highlights included the spiked bands around his arms along with his bushy red mane and eyebrows.
