Zelda 3D Spiritual Stone Replicas Can’t Be Bought with Rupees

Are you a Zelda fan? I mean a real Zelda fan? If you love The Ocarina of Time, then these are for you. Check out these amazingly beautiful replicas of the Kokiri Emerald, Zora Sapphire and Goron Ruby. Shiny!

These replica Spiritual Stones measure about four inches across and are cast from resin. They will look great used in your cosplay, or even just sitting on your desk. Heck, wear them with your regular clothing and see who can spot them for what they are.

These replicas are double-sided so they are completely three-dimensional. While the Goron Ruby and Zora Sapphire are identical on front and back, the Kokiri Emerald has a different pattern on the back.

You can get the set of three $150(USD) from Etsy shop The Legend of Cosplay. They also make miniatures in necklace form for just $30 each.

If Girls Were Internet Browsers

This isn’t the first time someone was inspired to design women’s fashion based on web browsers, and it probably won’t be the last.

Photographer Viktorija Pashuta wanted to combine fashion and technology and came up with this fashion editorial that’s called What If Girls Were Internet Browsers?

And combine them, she did. With the help of stylist Chalia Young, Viktorija brought her ideas and concepts to life. Apparently she wanted to bring out the functionality of each browser aside from just their colors and I think the models did a pretty good job at doing this.

For instance, Internet Explorer is flashy, Firefox sexy, Opera elegant, Chrome utilitarian and Safari – trendy/hip.

Detailed Batman Cowl Replica: Will the Real Adam West Please Stand up?

There’s cosplay and then there’s COSPLAY. If you’re serious about your costuming, and you’re into Batman, then you’ll want to start pinching your pennies now. Unless that is, you’re Bruce Wayne – then you can already afford to buy this stitch-perfect Batman cowl based on the one that Adam West wore in the 1960s TV series.

Each cowl is handmade by Williams Studio 2, and is as accurate as anything I’ve ever seen. It’s made from custom dyed Lastex, with a fiberglass shell, paint, foam, leather, and snaps to hold it in place. The pattern for this mask was made using a show-original cowl as a reference, and even the color of the eyebrow paint was Pantone-matched to the original.

Apparently, this thing is so perfect that Adam West himself owns one of these replicas. If you’d like one for yourself, you’re going to need to pony up $1,500(USD), but that’s chump change to Gotham’s number one billionaire, right? While you’re on a spending binge, why not grab an Adam West head to go with it?

Custom Optimus Prime Mask: Steampunks in Disguise

This awesome Optimus Prime steampunk mask is an amazing piece of art. You can wear it or just put it on a shelf. If you do wear it, it has a voice changer built in. This means awesome adult playtime coolness and fun. This mask makes Optimus a robot in disguise, who is in disguise again, with a steampunk makeover.

It may have started out as one of these cheap toy masks, but it’s pretty special now. I love the antiqued finish, and the bolt and rivet details are super nice.

Etsy seller CaptainBayley says that this mask is being offered for a limited time only. It is just $143.13(USD). That’s not a lot to ask, especially since this means that you can finally start that Steampunk Transformers movie you’ve been meaning to make.

Girl Dressed as Doctor Who Takes on Giant Balloon Cthulhu

The headline pretty much says it all.

All I can say is thank God she’s got more than a sonic screwdriver.

Balloon Cthulhu was made by Tim Thurmond, aka The Balloon Sculptor. Check out the construction of this epic beast in the video clip below:

Nike LeBron 11 Shoes: Lighter Than Ever

The latest Nike LeBron James branded footwear has been unveiled, and it’s looking like it will be a very lightweight shoe. Previous models were a bit bulkier, which was both good and bad.

I got hooked on the LeBron James 10 simply because of the comfort of the shoe for casual wear. This came from the AirMax 360 airbag that was very prominent at the bottom of the shoe. This feature, or something close to it has been present on LeBron James shoes for a few years. Not anymore. The LBJ 11 no longer has a visible AirMax 360 airbag. Instead, it emphasizes light weight. A size nine shoe weighs just 14.5 oz.

The upper features Hyperposite technology for lock-down, a Hyperfuse construction and Dynamic Flywire tech to keep it all cinched down.The cushion comes from a full-length Lunarlon sole with a Nike Zoom unit – a first for LBJ shoes. So what does that all mean? They’re just fancy brand names for a lightweight, durable and flexible shoe.

The Nike LeBron James 11 will be launched this October for about $200(USD).

Game Of Thrones House Sigil Bow Ties: Game of Bows

Ever since Doctor Who made bow ties cool, they have shown up in all kinds of forms. The latest in bow tie fashion are these Game of Thrones house sigil bow ties. I can’t exactly see Eddard Stark (for obvious reasons) or, well, anyone from Westeros wearing one. Still, you can enjoy them.

These neat bow ties are made by Etsy seller 2Marys and come in House Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Targaryen and Arryn styles. All you have to do is choose your sigil and wear it proudly.

They will cost you just $10(USD), which isn’t too bad at all. Unless you pay the iron price, of course.

Plexus Shirt Concept Morphs to the Occasion

Many are on the constant search to find the perfect shirt. Not just any shirt, but the shirt for all occasions – something that can be worn to work and donned for a night out. Of course, you’d still have to layer on cardigans or accessories in order to make the full transformation, but what if I told you there’s a shirt that can literally morph into anything you want it to?

Plexus

Designed by Vernon Chen and Joanne Lim Jin Xuan, the Plexus is made of pixelated, color-changing nano-magnets (is this possible? It might be, in the future.) These tiny components allow each panel to be able open like a louver and provide ventilation too.

plexus 2

It’s a reactive, interactive shirt as it morphs and changes color and design based on its wearer’s surroundings and agenda.

Sounds pretty amazing, right? The big catch is that it’s just a concept design… at least for now.

The Ring Clock is a Watch for Your Finger

Pledge to this campaign on Indiegogo if you want to wear a watch on your fingers. It’s called the Ring Clock, and uses 144 ultra-thin mono-color LEDs to display the time when you twist it. It’s a ring. It’s a watch. And, thankfully it doesn’t look like these.
ringclock
Charging the Ring Clock is wireless, through induction. You just put it on a Qi charging plate. The battery is good for one week of operation on a charge. It’s made from surgical stainless steel and also has a water-resistant exterior.

ring watch 2

Right now they’re still working on their prototype. It isn’t finished yet. So you should be aware that this isn’t a sure thing. They may be able to pull it off. Then again, maybe not. In order to put the Ring Clock into production, the company is looking for $287,400 in crowdsourced funding. As of this writing it has raised over $50,000 toward that goal, and still has about 43 days to go.

It takes a minimum $185(USD) pledge if you want one. I hope they get the rest of their funding and manage to complete the project.

Black Milk Mass Effect Clothing: The Sexiest Clothes in the Citadel

Black Milk Clothing’s combination of body hugging fit and geeky coating has been a winning formula so far. A lot of people love (being seen) wearing them. Even more people love looking at their product shots. The shop’s officially licensed Mass Effect line is no different.

The leggings, dresses and swimsuits are available in a variety of designs, including the N7 insignia, a drawing of Tali and pages taken from what I assume to be the official Mass Effect comics.
