Wield six blades in just three fingers with Kotobukiya’s officially licensed Kylo Ren lightsaber chopsticks. It doesn’t light up like the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader chopsticks though.
You can pre-order the chopsticks for $12 (USD) straight from Kotobukiya; check out the rest of the arsenal here.
I must confess something. One of the reasons I work for myself is so I never have to wear a tie to work again. Even if ties can be hip, I just can’t stand having that noose tied around my neck all day. But if I’m ever forced to wear one at a fancy dinner or meeting, I choose these.
What’s cool about these Star Wars-inspired skinny ties is that they’re really quite stylish. Some of the ties offer subtle embellishments of R2-D2 or C-3PO, while others replace polkadots with the Death Star, the Imperial seal, and an exploding Alderaan. I also like the little stormtroopers hidden in the Madras plaid.
Perhaps the most obviously geeky design is the black tie with Darth Vader on it. This tie means business. Wear it the next time you have serious negotiating to do, and the other party will relent immediately for fear you will use the Force Choke on them.
There’s no word on when you’ll be able to purchase these ties stateside, but they’re already available in Japan from Kotobukiya for ¥5,040 (~$51 USD) each. I only have one question: why no TIE fighter? That seems like an obvious choice.
Fans of the Justice League, here’s another bunch of fun collectibles to put on your shelf. I’m pretty sure you’ve never seen your favorite DC superheroes look quite like this.
These collectible Justice League figures were made by Japan’s Kotobukiya in collaboration with DC Comics and Zarigani Works[JP]. Each of these little superheroes features an stylized off-kilter, blocky look which I really dig.
You can’t see it in the pics, but they actually have wheels in their backs and turn into vehicles when you set them on a smooth surface too. They’re available in a set including Flash, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern – in both a plain or metallic finish. The full set of 10 sells for $55.99(USD) over at Entertainment Earth.
