Crocheted Magneto Helmet Won’t Protect You from Telepathic Attacks

I’m not sure what’s going on with the Marvel universe right now; the last time I read a comic book with Magneto in it he was taking orders from Cyclops. Whaaaat? I’ll always remember Magneto as the kind of dude who would – and did – rip out a man’s skeleton right out of his body. And that’s why I need this helmet so badly.

Dig Dug Can Cozy: Pump it up!

Retro gamers looking for a way to keep their beer and sody pop nice and cool should look no further than this fun can cozy designed to look like Pooka, the inflatable round nemesis of Dig Dug.

It’s just one of many fun can, bottle and coffee cup cozies over at Crochet Cozies’ Etsy shop, where you can also find such masterpieces as the LEGO Minifig and the epic Where’s Waldo beer cozy.

The Pooka can cozy will set you back $38(USD), and is guaranteed not to explode – unless you connect a compressed air hose to the can. Then all bets are off.

Robot Hat Turns Babies into Benders

Bender is a complete wise-ass. So are many toddlers – they just don’t realize it yet. At least if you see a little kid wearing this hat, you’ll know they could be trouble.

These robot hats are made by Michelle “Chell” Black, and are crocheted with the potty-mouthed robot’s trademark antenna and googley eyeballs. They’re available in multiple sizes, so whether your kid has a tiny noggin or a huge one, she’s got you covered.

Amigurumi TIE Fighter and AT-AT Crush the Rebel Alliance with Cuteness

It’s my theory that part of the reason the Empire had so much trouble taking down the Rebel Alliance and Jedi was that they just weren’t nice enough. You know what they say “kill ‘em with kindness” and all. Well if I were flying along in an X-Wing or a Snowspeeder, I’d be much more likely to be pulled in close to have a look at them if they looked as cute and cuddly as these.

These amigurumi crocheted TIE fighter and AT-AT are about as darling as Star Wars stuff can get, and sure to charm the pants off of Rogue Leader and Red Five all at once. And yes, I know they’re the same person, but that just sounded good.

These designs were created by Etsy artist Ana of MysteriousCats, who offers them up as patterns for you to crochet yourself, or if you’re lucky, you might find an already assembled one in her shop. The patterns will run you about $8 (USD), while a complete AT-AT sells for about $33. Ana’s also got designs in her shop for an X-Wing fighter, the Millenium Falcon, if you’re more into the Light Side, and a Naboo Starfighter if you can’t make up your mind which side you’re on. She’s also got one of these…
