Hasta La Gadget!

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.

R/C toys are fun. Whether it’s driving, flying or navigating the the waterways, it’s all good. It’s even cooler if you are capable of customizing your R/C craft. R/C hobbyist Chris Allen knows a thing or two about that, having built this awesome 70MM EDF JET powered Batwing from scratch.


It not only looks awesome, it also really flies and flies fast too while flipping around in the air. Chris has been building and designing R/C planes for the past 10 years and right now he is into scratch-building anything to do with Batman. My kind of builder.

Now he just needs to build a Joker plane and take the fight to the skies for the ultimate flying duel. Make sure you watch the videos. This thing is amazing in flight. I’m sure would have your Batman action figure pulling massive Gs in the cockpit.

If Jim Gordon had a thing for crafts, this is the Bat-signal that we would get. The upside is that it can still be dramatically killed by an axe, but Batman has to be really close to see it.

All you need is some thread, nails, a ton of patience and a desire to summon Batman and you too can make one. It actually does light up from behind as well, so maybe Batman can see it from a slight distance after all.

Why hasn’t anyone tried calling Spider-Man with this sort of thing? It’s basically a spider web right? Then you don’t waste this on Batman. The right tool for the right job and all that. Spider-Man would love this. And Peter Parker needs some gimmick where Police can call him anyhow, right? It’s a cool piece of art, I just really want Spidey to have his own signal.

If you’re a huge Marvel comic book fan, you may be more familiar with Deadpool than I am. I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, so I am familiar with all the superheroes that were on when I was growing up, but I never read comic books as a kid. The only familiarity I have with Deadpool was from Ryan Reynolds portrayal of the character in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Now it turns out that Deadpool will be getting his very own standalone video game. The superhero had turned up in other video games the past as a playable character, but this will be his first dedicated game title. It appears to be a typical combat game with Deadpool using guns and swords. The character will be voiced by Nolan North, who also voiced Deadpool in “Hulk Vs” and “Spider-Man: Shattered Dreams”.

To go along with the announcement that the video game is coming, Activision, Marvel, and High Moon Studios released a trailer for the game at Comic-Con. The trailer shows the snarky humor that Deadpool is known for along with a lot of colorful language. Keep in mind again that the video above is NSFW thanks to language.
