Iron Man Arc Reactor Marriage Proposal Device for When an Iron Man Meets an Iron Woman

You see, when two nerds love each other very much, they sometimes make each other things. Things like this Iron Man arc reactor marriage proposal device that Eddie Zarick created.
stark heart
This is a nice nerdy way to say I love you. Besides, his girlfriend is always calling him Tony Stark anyway since he is involved in a ton of projects. So he figured he would make a Arc Reactor Heart with an engagement ring inside. The thing lights up, and when a button is pushed, the LEDs animate in colors, and the ring rises from the center to impress even the most iron-hearted of iron women. Here, check it out:

Impressive, Eddie, very impressive indeed.

LEGO Iron Man Mk. VII Concept: Brick Man

A few months ago Mike McCooey wowed the Web with his poseable LEGO Spider-Man. Now he’s back with another poseable LEGO superhero, and with your support, perhaps LEGO can make it an official product. It’s an amazing build of Tony Stark in his Iron Man Mark VII armor.

Mike says that while his Iron Man figure is not as poseable as his Spidey figure, it still has over 50 points of articulation. It also has six independent light bricks: one in his head, chest, one on each head and one on each foot. Iron Man may be more fragile in his bricky suit, but he’s still packing heat. He has wrist-mounted lasers, thigh- and shoulder-mounted missiles and more.

You really should check out Mike’s Flickr page to see the details on this figure. Mike has also setup a LEGO Cuusoo campaign. You know how that works: if his campaign gets 10,000 votes, LEGO will think about making it official. Otherwise LEGO’s not even gonna think about thinking about it.

I am… Zombie Iron Man

Things are looking stark for Tony Stark. It seems as if some zombies have bitten through his armor and turned him into a Zombie. If Iron Man can be turned into a Zombie, what chance do the rest of us have?
Zombie Iron Man
Now, I don’t know anything about Zombie teeth, but I’m not sure how they got through his gold-titanium alloy armor. Maybe some evil opponent of Iron Man’s created some super Zombies with some amazing can-opener teeth. I have no idea. I just know that we are all screwed now that one of Earth’s finest heroes has fallen.

Actually we are safe. This is the work of Cosplay artist Kyosti Kallio and the photos are by Adam Jay. Thank god. I was getting scared.

Iron Man Stained Glass: World’s Most Fragile Superhero

Tony Stark is only as tough as he is because of his Iron Man armor. That’s why it’s made out of space age material, not glass. If you want to see the Iron Man armor made from glass, here it is. Sneeze wrong and it all shatters like Tony Stark’s sobriety.
Iron Man stained glass
This piece of glass shows off Iron Man’s armor in amazing detail. Seeing the light hit the armor just makes Iron man seem… holy somehow. This amazing piece of stained glass art comes from artist R. Evan Daniels of Martian Glass Works, who says that it’s the most complicated work he’s created yet.

It has 334 pieces of glass and took over 100 hours to build. It measures 9.5 square feet, so he will need to build a special crate just to ship it to you. That is, if you have the $4,500(USD) necessary to bring it home. Tony Stark should be able to afford that with no problem.

Scientists Discover Iron Man Found by Nazis Is of Extraterrestrial Origin [Space]

Tiny Knit Superheroes Hit Etsy So Your Dolls Can Pretend to Be Villains

When I think of superheroes, I usually envision large, hulking men or women in tights, capable of taking down the most evil of supervillains. They usually don’t conjure up images of tiny, cuddly knits which are small enough for the cat to swallow.

But the textile artists of Sweden’s Crivens Studio clearly have the latter in their minds. They handmake and sell these miniscule superheroes which measure just about  1″ tall each. Each tiny hero is knit from yarn and the is small enough to let your dolls play with them – assuming you still play with dolls – and your dolls still play with dolls too.

They’re currently available for $25(USD) each in Batman, Superman and Iron Man versions, and if you’re more into zombies than superheroes, there’s a couple of those for sale too.

 


Kid Builds Life-Size LEGO Iron Man

Remember Evan Bacon, the kid who built the life-size Batman LEGO? Well the now 14-year-old LEGO fanatic is back with another sizeable superhero creation. This time, Evan crossed over from the DC Comics to the Marvel universe, creating a life-size model of Iron Man, entirely from LEGO bricks.

Evan says the 6-foot-tall model is comprised of about 18,000 individual LEGO bricks. Iron Man’s eyes, arc reactor and palm even light up. The sculpture was on display at the recent Brick Fiesta 2012 in Austin, TX.

All told, the model weighs in at about 80 pounds, and won the People’s Choice Award at Brick Fiesta. Great job, Evan! I can only hope you’re planning on building all of the Avengers and Justice League over time. Of course, you might just go broke buying LEGO bricks.

Awesome Chinese Iron Man Built Himself Bionic Arms After His Homemade Bomb Blew Up His Real Arms [DIY]

Sun Jifa should be an inspiration to us all. After he lost both of his hands when a homemade bomb exploded, he spent the past 8 years making prototype bionic hands until figuring out the system he has now. It looks awesome and they work wonderfully. More »

Custom Arc Reactor Purse for Real Iron Women

If you see a woman carrying around this custom arc reactor bag, you are either seeing a female Iron Man or else Tony Stark is taking to cross-dressing at night. Hopefully, it is the former. I’d hate to see the latter in a movie. Or anywhere else. This sweet purse is perfect for the geek girl who wants to be named Toni Stark.

This sleek Iron Man purse will carry all of your stuff. Your lipstick, compact, and other lady essentials. That’s a given. But this purse has it’s own Arc reactor that lights up with EL wire technology. Not ELO technology. Though they make some sweet music.

The bag was made by TheGoddess908 who obviously loves her some Iron Man. Fantastic job Goddess.
