Hasta La Gadget!

If you’re into steampunk cosplay, you know that it’s important to have the right weapon in your arsenal. While there are plenty of manly steampunk weapons out there, there aren’t too many for the ladies. The Lady Froggy aims to change that.

This eight-barreled, wrist-mounted gatling gun is sure to take down any evil top-hatted, mustache-twirling lotharios you might encounter on your steam-powered journey through the 1890s.

The Lady Froggy Gatling gun is handmade by Arsenal Best Armory, using polished brass, plastic, a metallic lacquer coating and embellished with Swarovski crystals. Because what lady weapon doesn’t have Swarovski crystals on it?

Keep in mind that the Lady Froggy Gatling gun doesn’t actually fire projectiles, but you probably will still have some ‘splainin’ to do if you try and wear it through airport security. They do have security checkpoints for dirigible flights, right?

Etsy shop Haute Mess makes Grillain Villains, a line of handmade aprons that are based on the costumes of famous supervillains. Haute Mess gleefully proclaims, “If you gotta cook and clean why not look evil doing so?!” Because you want people to eat what you cook? Oh was that a rhetorical question? Okay then!

The Krang apron is my favorite of all the designs, although just about all of the women’s aprons look neat. I don’t recommend the Boba Fett men’s apron though, unless you want to be the evil Thong Man.

Summon your minions and head to Haute Mess to order a Grillain Villain apron. They cost between $40 to $150 (USD) depending on the design.

Etsy artist Christian Griffin must’ve been listening to Soviet Russian Beyonce, because he believes that if you like it then you should put it on a ring.  That’s exactly what he did with the iconic song sheets from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. If you like them you should put some money in Griffin’s pockets. Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh!

Griffin made rings of 12 of the songs in Ocarina of Time, from Epona’s Song to the Song of Time. The only thing missing? The Scarecrow’s Song. Which kind of makes sense.

You can order the rings from Griffin’s shop Peregrine Studios for $59(USD) each.  They’re made from stainless steel but are also available in bronze- and gold-plated variants. He also offers massive discounts in the form of 6 and 12 ring bundles. You can also get cheaper plastic versions of the rings on Griffin’s Shapeways store.

If you think that there’s no way baby masks would be anything but adorable, then think again.

That’s what I thought before I saw these masks by artist Landon Meier of Hyperflesh. And now that I’ve seen them, let me just say that they’re creepy as heck – even creepier than those scary clown masks that have haunted your nightmares ever since you were a kid.

I think the creep factor is brought about by the fact that the masks are designed to fit adults. That means they’re huge and, when worn, will turn anyone into a big, lumbering baby. The expressions don’t help either. Meier created three based on a baby’s common expressions: happy, crying, and disgusted. Suffice it to say, they all still look extremely creepy. There’s no other word for it.

They’re pretty expensive, too. Each mask is priced at $350(USD) and they can be bought over at Hyperflesh.

Geeks travel with a lot of stuff, that is undeniable. You have your smartphone, your tablet, your MP3 player, your camera, your Wi-Fi dongle, comic books, your bottled water, and your smartphone just to name a few. That means when you leave the house, odds are you have to schlep a backpack everywhere, or the pockets of your pants are all puffy, heavy, and saggy. What you need is a better way to carry all of your gear.

ThinkGeek has teamed up with the geek clothing purveyors Scottevest to build a jacket that has a bunch of pockets called the Tropiformer. To quantify the technical term “a bunch of pockets” more precisely, the jacket specifically has 22 pockets. It doesn’t really look like it has 22 pockets from the outside, but it does. Among those plentiful pockets is a big pocket sized specifically for your tablet. It also has a pocket inside the left-hand flap with a clear material over the top so you to operate your smartphone without having to take it out. Handy, indeed.

The jacket comes in four different colors including blue, red, gray, and cement, and is made from a lightweight, water-resistant fabric. The sleeves are held on with magnets so you can rip them off easily during your Hulk fantasies, or if you get too hot. Check out the video below to see more jacket-of-many-pockets action.

You can order the Tropiformer jacket right now for $149.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.
