Comic Christmas List 2010 Part 2: Apparel and Decor

In Part 2 of the Comic Christmas list, I will catalogue and discuss apparel, decor and all the crap we'd love to have but simply cannot afford.

Apparel

Superherostuff.com has an amazing assortment of superhero apparel that will surely make any comic geek's day, not to mention Christmas. Here are some of my personal favourites.

1. Iron Fist Pint Glass



This pint glass achieves the rarely seen coming together of beer and kung-fu - both are awesome in their own right, but when brought together as a single entity are unstoppable. Give your comic-loving friend the gift of awesome with this.

2. Green Lantern Rage Keychain



While I can admit to knowing very little of the Green Lantern universe, I can admit to loving this keychain because it is, in some cases, ironic and in others, very appropriate. Further, this is a great stocking stuffer because it's cheap and cheap is good.

3. G.I. Joe Cobra Messenger Bag



The G.I. Joe love continues with this international terrorist-inspired messenger bag. In addition to looking cool, this bag is also a bully deterrent.

Maybe not.

4. Wonder Woman Cami & Panty Set



Admit it - in some shape or form, you've thought of this.

Pervert.

5. Tokidoki Thor T-Shirt



Tokidoki stuff is original, inspired, not to mention cute as hell, and takes the edge of superheroes. You can find this and other similar t-shirts over at Tokidoki.

Decor
1. Batman Lava Lamp



While not the most friendly lamp by which to read comics, this Batman lava lamp is a cool addition to any bedroom or office. Instructions on "how not to meet women" are not included.

2. Thanos Diorama



In addition to other intellectual properties Sideshow Collectibles pays tribute to Marvel Comics with some pretty amazing pieces. Based on pure bad-assness, I selected this depiction of the mad titan, Thanos, and his woman, Death for display. You'd better have some patience and some deep pockets if you want to get a hold of this one - Thanos is presently listed at 359.99 US$ and you'll need to wait for it.

3. Comic Cubes



The guys at Comic Cubes have developed the best possible storage option for your collection; for, functionality aside, these cubes, unlike your stacks of longboxes, don't stick out like a sore thumb.

4. Iron Man Poster by Marko Djurdjevic



In my opinion, Marko Djurdjevic's art will soon rival Alex Ross' in terms of what he will do for Marvel as far as cover work goes. This widescreen Iron Man piece is amazing and, properly framed, will look great on anyone's wall. You can find this and more at comicsinfinity.com.

5. Comic Art

Finally, no shopping spree is complete without a trip to The Artist's Choice, a one-stop shop for all your original comic art needs. Contrary to other sites that sale original pieces, "The Artist's Choice" offers prospective buyers a broad range of prices. Check it out for yourself.

That's it for today. I know I promised a look some stuff you simply can't afford today, but I am tired. Part 3 will have to wait until tomorrow.
