My daughter isn’t a hair bow kind of girl. It’s probably my fault, I’m the one that has got her clothes together since she was tiny, and I’m all Jon Snow when it comes to hair bows. Every now and again we would try to put a bow on her, she would rip it off and run away. She also thinks superheroes are “boring,” so there’s no way I’m getting her to wear these Marvel Hair Bows, it’s like a double whammy for her.
For girls who like superheroes, these bows look pretty cute. They clip to hair and stuff with an alligator clip on the back. They’re available in Spider-Gwen, Deadpool, and Captain America styles. That Captain America bow would be perfect for July 4, but there is no way you can get it in time now. My favorite is the Deadpool bow complete with its tiny crossed katanas.
Each bow will set you back $8.99(USD) at ThinkGeek and they are available now.
ZaziNombies’ latest creation is appropriate for Valentine’s Day, although it turns Cupid from a matchmaker to an undead killer. The LEGO weapons expert made a life-size replica of the Wrath of the Ancients, one of two new Wonder Weapons that come with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3‘s Zombies DLC.
The bow measures about 4ft. long, while its arrows are about 2ft. long each. ZaziNombies estimates that he used between 900 to 1000 bricks to make the bow. He said his biggest challenge was keeping the parts anchored to the grip, so that it wouldn’t fall apart when it’s fired. Technic pins and joints helped get the job done.
Check out ZaziNombies’ YouTube page for more of his work, which includes a replica of the Ragnarok DG-4, CoD BO3 Zombies’ other Wonder Weapon.
Last month we checked out Hero Complex Props’ 3D printed Ultron mask. Here’s their latest creation, a life-size replica of a compound bow from the Thief games, made almost entirely out of 3D printed parts.
3D Print says it took 50 hours to print the 32″ bow’s 16 main parts. The only part of the bow that wasn’t 3D printed is the string, which is actually a 3D printing filament called Flexifil.
Hero Complex Props says they’ll sell the bow for around $200 (USD). Contact them on Facebook if you’re interested.

People hand me business cards all the time, and almost all of them end up in the trash shortly thereafter. If you want me to keep a card you hand me, it had better be awesome. A dude that works for a video production firm called Longbow has created the most awesome business cards in history.
The business cards appear to be made out of thin wood sheets with etched words and numbers. The cool part is that you can remove the sides to create a thin bow that you string with a rubber band.
Once you have the rubber band on the bow, you can use it to fire toothpicks. I can only imagine the damage that shooting toothpicks at coworkers eyes would cause. I think cinnamon toothpicks would be my arrow of choice, that way not only could I poke your eye, I could make it burn too.

The Bike Wheel Bow is a unique weapon made from an old bicycle wheel. Obviously this isn’t going to work like your typical bow. It is more of a bow-like-sling-shot, relying on the stretch of the string, which is rubber tubing. Here is how to make one should you find yourself with a bike, but need a weapon.

I just want to stare all day at this amazing Skyrim Nord bow. It looks so authentic and beautiful. According to the maker it isn’t functional yet, but that shouldn’t be too difficult. Once it actually shoots, it will take your your knee clean off. Then you can complain about it forever.
