Hasta La Gadget!

ThinkGeek is now selling an officially licensed plush Headcrab Hat. It sits on top of your head and doesn’t cover your face. Because that would just be silly.

The hat has an adjustable baseball cap-style closure at the back and is made of polyester. We think.

Prepare a crowbar and a torch and head to ThinkGeek to order the hat. It costs $30 (USD) and possibly your free will.

These days, most of us think of the Ewoks as cute and endearing little fellows, but I remember when Return of the Jedi came out, there was an uproar over the addition of these furry creatures to the Star Wars universe. In fact, I’ve long held the theory that George Lucas introduced Jar-Jar Binks so we would forget all about the Ewoks.

But if you’re on Team Ewok, here’s something you might want to buy to show your support.

This Ewok hat was created by textile artist Mary Gauvin, and is perfect for camouflaging your Jedi younglings when they first land on Endor to help destroy any newly-erected Imperial shield generators. As a bonus, it’ll also keep their heads warm on Hoth. It’s also the perfect gift  if you’re best friends with Warwick Davis.

Hop on your speeder bike and fly through the forest to Etsy if you want one.

Some cats are small but terrible – in a good way of course. Like they say, the best surprises come in the smallest of packages, and cats fit this description to a tee: they might not be the biggest pet in your home or the biggest creature in the world, but they’ve got personalities as big as can be and they’re often not afraid to show it.

This is why the Lion Hat is so appropriate and fitting for your feline companion.

It’s basically a miniature mane that’ll transform your cat into a miniature lion. It’s probably already the king (or queen) of your home as speak, so why not make it official and crown it with a fiery mane of glory?

Of course, it’s not limited to feline use, as the Lion Hat fits most average-sized cats and dogs. So if you want, you can also dress your canine pals up to be the king of their own domains. The hat is made from synthetic fur, while the ears are crafted from plush felt.

It’s as adorable as pet hats and costumes can get, and it’s available online for $38(USD) at Nesta’s Nest on Etsy.

When you’re riding a motorcycle, you need protection. Personally, after having a couple of minor accidents, I can appreciate the idea of a full-face helmet, especially if you like to ride fast. The Bell Rogue Helmet helps protect your face from bugs and wind while looking totally badass.

The Bell Rogue Helmet is made out of a lightweight composite shell. It’s got an adjustable muzzle, which can clip on an off thanks to a secure magnetic connection. There are integrated speaker pockets, and a comfortable interior lining that can be removed for washing. It’s a good option for people who don’t like full-face helmets.

It’s available in matte gunmetal, army green, black, or in a shiny gloss black. It sells for $249.95(USD) and will be available soon.

There’s nothing more obnoxious than one of those guys with a pair of camouflage party pants and a hat that you can sip beer out of. But leave it to the geeks of the world to make drinking beer from a helmet just a little cooler.

Instructables contributor DucttapeNinja decided that the tacky sportsfan beer helmet needed a proper LARP-ing, and created this beer-sipping helmet thats’ based on Gimli’s helmet from the Lord of the Rings movies.

I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen armor that provides both head protection and ready access to alcohol – which is always a good thing to have around should you find yourself on the losing end of an axe fight.

DucttapeNinja thinks his helmet design could easily be applied to any helmet you’d like, so you could go for anything from a Beerba Fett, to a Sh*tfaced Spartan to a Daft Drunk with the proper helmet, and DtN’s Instructables beer helmet tutorial in hand.
