The Flash 1:1 Scale Cowl Replica with Light Effects Looks Fast

Produced by Pure Arts, this 1:1 scale replica of The Flash’s cowl features a lighting system that illuminates not only its chest emblem but also the gold veining on the neck and head. With it, I’ll be the fastest-looking superhero this Halloween! And the brokest, because the cowl does cost $1,200. Thank goodness I already own a red unitard.

The cowl is limited to 150 pieces and includes a Flash ring that opens to reveal his signature lightning bolt emblem inside. The cowl itself has removable yellow lenses and is made using an “innovative multi-layer structure” with gold LED veins running throughout. Admittedly, that is a sharp-looking cowl. Although Batman would probably still argue his is better.

But can I actually wear it – that’s what I want to know. I read the entire product description, but nowhere did it mention whether or not the cowl can actually be worn. That’s kind of important to me. Actually, that’s the only thing that’s important to me. Besides payment plan options. I’m thinking a dollar a week for 23 years.
