Blastoise – “Ectotendo Cartridge” – (Oversized Display Art Piece 5x6)

A familiar format—reimagined.

This piece transforms a classic era of gaming into a physical display object, combining custom artwork with a 3D oversized cartridge design. Built as a tribute to retro handheld nostalgia, this “Ectotendo Cartridge” is designed for collectors who appreciate crossover between gaming, art, and custom culture.

The artwork features a stylized Blastoise rendered in a splatter/grunge treatment, printed and set into a recessed label window—mirroring the construction of original cartridges, but scaled into a bold display format.

This is not a card—it’s a standalone collectible.

Details

• Overall Size: Approx. 5” x 6”
• Material: 3D printed cartridge body
• Finish: Recessed label with full-color art print
• Design: Custom “Ectotendo” parody format
• Use: Display piece only (non-functional)

Concept

Inspired by classic handheld cartridges, this piece plays with scale and expectation—turning something once pocket-sized into a shelf-ready collectible. The parody disclaimer and layout details are intentionally designed to reflect the tone of original gaming hardware while adding a modern art twist.

Important Notes

• This is a custom art piece and is not affiliated with or produced by any official brand
• Cartridge is non-functional and intended for display only
• Each piece may have slight variations due to the 3D printing process and handmade assembly

Why It Stands Out

• Combines nostalgia + physical object design
• Oversized format gives it real display presence
• Original artwork—not a mass-produced print
• Designed as part of the evolving Ecto Selecto custom line
