Imagine this: You are a cosplayer who loves Mario, but could never seem to get the hat right. You see these awesome, one of a kind Mario and Luigi hats (above) and they are perfect in every way. Actually, they seem a little too perfect. But you, being the gigantic Mario fan that you are, pre-order the hats and throw caution to the wind. Months later, once your order's getting ready to ship, the merchant sends you a message that reads like this:

"Late last year, NCS started preorders for Mario and Luigi Hats but the manufacturer neglected to mention that the "Hats" would actually be cushions shaped like hats. As in, they're not really wearable. Due to the error, NCS has contacted every customer who preordered the Mario Hats to reconfirm their orders. We're guessing most people won't want them if they're not wearable but they could sort of turn into hats if you attach a chin-strap with alligator clips and don't mind looking like there's a Mario or Luigi Cushion sitting on top of your noggin like a big loaf of bread."

Alright, enough hypothetical situations; this is exactly what happened over at National Console Support, Inc. and most customers were none too happy about it. However, if you'd still like to order the wearable cushion hats, it'll cost 29.00 American coins. They measures 35cm or 13.77" across making "it oversized and exaggerated" (ed: their words, not mine)

I'd still buy it, then again, I'd buy anything that had Mario on it.
