DC Superhero Wedding Bands: Say I Do to Superpowers

Posted on by

Because you can’t even get married today without getting superheroes involved, ring maker Manly Bands has teamed up with DC Comics to produce The DC Collection, a line of superhero-themed wedding bands. Currently available rings include The Wonder Woman, The Superman, The Bruce Wayne, The Joker, The Flash, and The Aquaman. That’s one for each finger if you have six fingers like the man who killed Inigo Montoya’s father! Details about each ring are below.

  • The Wonder Woman, $995: Cobalt Chrome with 1mm 14K Yellow Gold Inlay, .5mm Blue Cerakote Inlays, Red Cerakote Sleeve, and Wonder Woman Logo Engraving
  • The Superman, $595: Cobalt Chrome with 2mm Blue Cerakote Inlay, Red Cerakote Sleeve, and Superman Logo Engraving
  • The Bruce Wayne, $2,395: Black Zirconium (charcoal gray color) with .02 Black Diamonds and Batman Logo Engraving
  • The Joker, $995: Black Zirconium (charcoal gray color) with 3mm Damascus Steel Inlay, 1mm Green Cerakote Inlays, Purple Cerakote Sleeve, and Joker Laugh Engraving
  • The Flash, $2,195: Black Zirconium (charcoal gray color) with 1mm Asymmetrical Red Cerakote Inlay, Solid 14K Yellow Gold Sleeve, and Flash Logo Engraving
  • The Aquaman, $795: Black Zirconium (charcoal gray color) with 3mm Abalone Shell Inlay, Green Cerakote Sleeve, and Aquaman Logo Engraving

So, which is your favorite? I thought they were all pretty cool, but I’m really holding out for a Swamp Thing band made out of green organic matter! How cool would that be? I just feel like no other superhero quite captures my essence than a monster who lives in a swamp and doesn’t want people messing with it. My wife, I tell you — she’s one lucky lady for sure.

Life Size Spider-Man Statue: I Am Iron Spider-Man

Posted on by

Do you know what your foyer has been missing? A superhero to greet you after a long day’s work. And what better superhero for the job than your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man? Thankfully, Queen Studios has you covered with this full-scale Spider-Man in Iron Spider suit statue. Just don’t go using him as a coat rack!

Constructed out of polystone, the full-scale Spidey is a limited edition of 299 and measures 192 cm (~6’4″) tall, including the lighted base. The statue is entirely hand-painted in metallic blue and red with gold trim, with internally lit accents in Spider-Man’s eyes, palms, and armor. However, he does not come with the Iron Spider suit’s mechanical legs though, so you’ll have to build and add those yourself. I’d suggest using cardboard and coat hangers.

Unfortunately, for anyone interested in a full-scale Spider-Man but doesn’t have Tony Stark kind of money, the statue costs $7,060. That’s a little bit out of my life-size superhero statue budget right now. Honestly, based on the overdraft fee I just got a text alert about, I can’t even afford one of those cardboard cutouts they have on display at the movie theater. What do you say – want to help me pull the old ‘tall man in a trench coat’ trick to go see Spider-Man: No Way Home?

Superhero Helmet Car Ignition Button Covers: I Am Iron Car

Posted on by

Car ignition buttons: they usually just say ‘START STOP’ and sit there looking boring. Well now you can spice up your vehicle’s go button with one of these superhero helmet covers manufactured by LCDXBYTFT (try saying that ten times fast!) and available on Amazon (affiliate link). Plus I heard they add at least another 5 horsepower with their looks alone, similar to racing stripes or red brake caliper covers.

Available in several different superhero styles (Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Punisher, Bumblebee) and a variety of colors (some with translucent eyes that will appear to glow after dark if your ignition button is illuminated), the covers are “applicable to 99% of existing market models.” But what about my 2001 Explorer that doesn’t even have an ignition button? Or functional heat or A/C.

According to the manufacturer, the ignition covers make “every start of the car a sense of ritual.” Presumably a different ritual than the one I perform now, which involves saying a prayer and crossing my fingers the engine actually turns over, then proceeding to curse all the way to work in the cold.

Marvel Sound Effects Machine: Hulk Smash!

Posted on by

Just like Star Wars merchandise, there’s a market for every single sort of Marvel product you can think of. And to prove that point, this is the Marvel Sound Effects Machine. With the push of a button, you can play one of eight sound effects from Marvel superhero movies, and I’m pretty sure I just found the new soundtrack to my life.

The small, 3″ tall sound machine is powered by two AAA batteries and sound effects include Hulk’s “HULK SMASH!”, Iron Man’s suit launch, Captain America’s shield toss, Spider Man’s web shooters, Falcon’s wing darts, Groot’s “I am Groot”, Hawkeye’s arrow shot, and Thor’s Hammer Blow. Unfortunately, it does not include Hulk’s “Puny God” or Iron Man’s “I am Iron Man.”

Obviously, I’m going to put one on my desk at work and only respond to coworkers with Marvel Sound Effects. And if I can’t answer a question with a Thor hammer blow or Hulk smash, well, I’m not answering it.

Batwing Desk Light Is Perfect for Your Batcave

Posted on by

You’re Batman. You work long hours in the Batcave solving the Riddler’s riddles and trying to thwart the Joker’s next attack on Gotham. But it’s not like you’re Catman, you can’t see in the dark. What do you need? Light. And what better way to toot your own horn than a $49 posable Batwing desk light inspired by your own plane?

Standing almost 24″ tall, the lamp is USB powered and bright enough to intimidate a criminal when you’re shining it right in their face during an interrogation. Where did you plant the bomb, Two-Face?! Answer me!

At first glance, you might not think Batman and I have a lot in common, but believe it or not, I actually spend a lot of time in a dark cave as well. Well technically mine is just a basement and I don’t fight crime there I only play video games, but still. Plus we both have secrets. Sure his is a secret identity and mine is I ate the last of my wife’s favorite cookies then tore up the packaging and littered it around the house and blamed the dogs, but my point is we’d probably both be killed if the truth were known.

Spider-Man Dangling from a Street Lamp: Swingin’ in the Rain

Posted on by

As far as novelty desk lamps go, this is one of the better ones I’ve seen. The officially licensed Marvel Spider Man Streetlight LED Desk Lamp stands approximately 16-inches tall and features Spider-Man dangling from a miniature street light, which doubles as a desk lamp. Is your mind blown? Because there are pieces of mine everywhere, and my wife is NOT going to be happy when she gets home and I’m playing video games and still haven’t cleaned them up yet.

Available from online toy and collectible retailer Toynk, the desk lamp costs $60, which I actually found rather reasonable, considering a lot of these sorts of superhero collectibles require Bruce Wayne levels of money to purchase, and I’m operating on more of a Swamp Thing budget.

Spider-Man: there’s a little bit of him in all of us. And not just because we all descended from spiders, but we did and I’m writing the scientific paper to prove it. It’s called ‘We’re All Just a Bunch of Spider-People’, and it’s going to change the way humanity views our place in the world. Or get me locked up in the nut-house. Either way, I better get to make a cameo in the next Spider-Man movie.
