The cool guys over at BioWorld Merchandising created a bitchin’ new bag for the upcoming “back to school” season. Ghostbusters is pretty popular right now so it makes sense that someone made a Ghostbusters back pack fashioned to look like the nuclear powered proton pack. Its pretty impressive what a simple design and silk screen process can do for a simple back pack. So far, 80’s Tees has it on their site for 40 bucks, but you will see it in your favorite comic shop very soon. You won’t be catchin’ any ghosts with this back pack and probably its only real use is to store some books and a crusty tuna sandwich, but who gives a crap? Its fucking Ghostbusters buddy!
Where to buy: 80’s tees

WOW! After a less than spectacular release of a X-Men 2 Wolverine (movie version) inspired motorcycle suit, Universal Designs Replicas has released a small teaser image of their newest project, the Iron Man Mark V “Suit Case Suit” leather motorcycle suit inspired from Iron Man 2. When I first heard about this project, I was a bit skeptical considering they were planning to replicate a metal suit into leather. Well, considering this is just a teaser image, I think they did a pretty awesome job.
Devised from the latest advances in armor deployment technology, Tony Stark’s Mark V Armor is vastly more portable than his traditional Iron Man hardware… and now Universal Designs is bringing the Mark V to life as an officially licensed, ‘wearable’ form molded leather motorcycle suit.
We’re going to make the impossible… POSSIBLE!
Sure, the details on the motorcycle suit is pale in comparison to the Mark V suit in the movie, but what UDR was able to do to transer the the original conceptual art to a leather motorcycle suit is epic! I really doubt that the arc reactor on the motorcycle suit will glow like in the picture, but it would be pretty genius if it did. Expect UDR’s Mark V motorcycle suit to drop at the end of the year and expect it to cost you an arm and a leg.

If you are a die-hard geek, you can’t have just any old wedding cake. Ya gotta give it a geek twist and make it one of a kind. However, if you don’t have the cash to pitch out hundreds of dollars to get a custom cake made for your wedding, why not go with a bad ass geek cake topper. Etsy community member, Hilda Fernandez (AKA HILDOOM) offers a cool variety of cute geeky cake toppers like Han Solo and Princess Leia from Star Wars (pictured above). If Star Wars isn’t your thing (and shame on you if it isn’t), she also offers custom cake toppers of Link and Zelda from… well, Zelda, Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and Mario and Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros.! Even Luigi gets some time in the spotlight in his own cake topper with Princess Daisy! Each of these adorable cake toppers are hand sculpted and made of polymer clay and colored using acrylic paint. HILDOOM also takes special requests so if you want something different from what she has to offer on her Etsy shop, just drop her a line. Considering each of these cake toppers are each created by hand, she only charges around $85 each (more pending on the difficulty of the request)! A small price to pay to personalize your big day and to have a keepsake from your wedding that screams geek!
I too have requested the services of HILDOOM to create a one-of-a-kind cake topper for my wedding next week (and yes, I am getting married…). Unfortunately, as much as I would KILL (KILL I said!) for a pair of his and her Scout Troopers beating down on an Ewok as my cake topper, I will be getting two frogs named Kerori from Sanrio, because Mrs. geektrooper said so. Sigh~
Check out HILDOOM Etsy shop and hit the jump to see more of her awesome geek cake toppers!

Illustrator, WinterArtwork of Bridgetown, Barbados created a really cool logo for a sport teams that the people of Pandora can really get behind and root for! Dubbed, the Pandora Blueskins, Winter drew inspiration for his design by James Cameron’s epic film, Avatar and designed a logo featuring the profile of a fierce lookin’ Nav’i hunter. Whether it is for a high school or for a professional team, the design is quite bad ass! My only concern I suppose is calling the team the “Blueskins” considering all Nav’i are pretty much blue anyways. Kinda ruins the importance of the other team names in the league that may play against the Blueskins. Why not the “Mountain Banshee” or “Thanators”? Personally, I would rather just go with “Leonopteryx” AKA the “Last Shadows”. They would be like the Oakland Raiders of Pandora… but on the other hand, the Raiders blow… /shrug
WinterArtwork’s Pandora Blueskins art is available as a limited edition t-shirt on TeeFury and will only be available for 24 hours. Get to it sucka!

Teefury’s latest design on sale today is a magnificent illustration of our favorite bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe, Boba Fett as a luchador! Titled “El Boba”, this epic illustration comes from illustrator/graphic artist, John Sprengelmeyer (also know as Captain Ribman on Teefury). I am surprised that this has not happened before. Boba Fetts’ Mandelorian armor design would make a brilliant luchador costume! John designed a pretty hilarious mash up of Boba Fett’s costume into a tight fitting luchador costume, including a very pimp Boba Fett’s helmet styled wresting mask. I would definitely buy one of those suckers if anyone would make one.
John Sprengelmeyer on his design: El Boba. Years after escaping the Sarlacc pit, with his bounty hunter status in ruins, Boba Fett occasionally freelanced as a Mexican wrestler.
Unfortunately, like all Teefury shirts, it is only available for 24 hours and you can get one for only a meer 9 buckaroos! Booya!
