tokidoki’s summer lineup is out and there are a bunch of awesome new designs. The bad part (at least for us dudes) is that most of those styles are for the ladies. Just look at those shirts up there. Ice cream Cactus Pup? Pirate Cactus Cat? How about some Cactus Friends designs for men, tokidoki?

David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim’s little creatures are getting printed on Converse All-Stars thanks to a partnership with The Ave, who print custom graphics on white Chucks. There are four styles to choose from and each pair runs $90.

It takes more than a nice body to impress a man of discerning taste at the beach. This BAPE bikini might help though. It has Baby Milo and his friends printed all over. Sexy.

New Iron Fist Clothing Collection Features Cheeky Superheroine Apparel
Just in time for convention season, Iron Fist Clothing (not to be confused with Iron Fist, the Marvel superhero) has unveiled a Spring/Summer capsule collection entitled Super Bitches that features pin-up styled artwork of superheroines and villains. Known for their eclectic catalogue of monster-themed high heels and glam collaborations with RuPaul’s Drag Race, the LA-based clothing label collaborated with artist Lora Zombie to create this cheeky comic-inspired print to showcase fierce and empowered super-women in a shared feminine and feminist light.
Check out the entire Super Bitches collection on ComicsAlliance!

It’s amazing how the right color scheme can make a design so much better. I never liked the look of Bowers & Wilkins’ P3 headphones until they recently released these blue versions. Now I’m resisting the urge to buy a pair.

This watch is all sorts of amazing. Sanrio and tokidoki continue their collaboration, this time roping in super stylish watchmakers, Nooka. Gotta love the tokidoki-ified Hello Kitty characters. I’m hoping for a tokidoki x Sanrio blindbox series some day.
Update: Love Through Design have contacted me and let me know that they have headed up this project and that you can pre-order the watch right here.

For those of us who are seeking to play a tabletop version of Marvel Vs Capcom, the roster just got a bit bigger. After years of being absent from the tabletop game, the Great Old One has entered the game.
Not only is he a really detailed, awesome sculpt, but he is ridiculously powerful (check out his stats below.) Plus, he has a movable eye. I would have a blast setting that eye on my next target.
The downside? He is convention exclusive. This isn’t the first time that I’ve been shafted by the best characters only being available at conventions. I don’t think there is any figure I want more than the Capt. America Punisher.
However, due to overwhelming demand for the figure, Wizkids is putting a few of them up on their eBay store for people to buy at 50 bucks. Not bad for the Unclosing Eye.

New Era Japan just dropped a buttload of new hats in various styles featuring 8-bit sprites of classic characters from the original Super Mario Bros. The Koopa and Goomba are my faves. Check out more styles at New Era Japan.

The line, dubbed Segakawaii, seems pretty strongly targeted toward females, but that $145 DC controller backpack would make a sweet throw pillow in my living room.

With Heart of the Swarm releasing this week, many gamers have undoubtedly sacrificed sleep for a marathon session through the HoTS campaign, only to break for the occasional laddering session. With these beautiful pillow cases from Patchnotes, you can rest while still keeping the image of collecting minerals in your head.
However, as a Zerg player, I have to ask where the drone pillow case is? I would sleep better knowing I am honoring the swarm
Pick one up here.

Available in three different styles, Trooper, Toploader, and Deluxe, these limited edition backpacks from Sprayground feature all kinds of zippers, sleeves, straps, and stash pockets covered in a glow-in-the-dark galaxy print that’s a little bit geeky, a little bit refined, and all kinds of awesome.

First of all, Kidrobot, you blew it on the 2-packs. Shoulda’ called them something clever like 2-player packs or versus packs, but I’ll let it slide because I have a big, fat, giant crush on you.
The Street Fighter mini figure 2-packs come packaged with one character revealed, and the other is a mystery. I had this idea years ago and I’m glad that somebody finally telepathically stole it from me. Each pack will retail for $17.95.
Each one of the 2-inch keychains features two Street Fighter characters facing off and come in all sorts of various match-ups and colorways. These will be $4.95.
Kidrobot’s Street Fighter vinyl mini figure 2-packs and enamel keychains drop March 28, 2013 at Kidrobot.com, Kidrobot stores, and select retailers.

Because most wallets are either too bulky or lack that stylish oomph that we dig so well, Slim Timber offers these sophisticated moneytuckers in either walnut or zebrawood. Scoop one up from their online shop.
