Safety is definitely a huge factor if you are planning on getting a motorcycle. Well, considering there is a huge amount of customization going on for motorcycles, why not put your personal touch on your helmet as well. Especially if its something bad ass like an Iron Man custom paint job. Safety is definitely key, but you shouldn’t have to give up style. Just don’t be a douche and put some lame ass fluorescent colored plastic mohawk on your helmet. Thats just tasteless and… well I guess douchey.

If you weren’t aware, I took a week off from iGT to get hitched to the love of my life, Mrs. Geektrooper, so be patient with me if some of these posts are dirt old. Canadian director, Patrick Boivin is well known on the web for his epic stop motion mini-films such as “Iron Man Versus Bruce Lee” and “Transformers Bumblebee Boy“. Well, this time around, Patrick tries something new and created an epic parody of director Jon Favreau’s Iron Man film. Dubbed “Iron Baby“, Patrick replaces Tony Stark with a little cute tyke that whips terrorist bunny ass in a Mark III Iron Man suit made for an infant. Patrick did an amazing job with big budget film quality production and CGI effects. It was so awesome that even Jon Favreau had to plug “Iron Baby” on his Twitter. You will definitely fall in love with this little baby and you may wonder who she is. Her name is Marguerite Bulte Boivin, who is Patrick’s baby daughter. Yes. Iron Baby is a girl. Sooo kyoot!

In 2000, artist/sculptor Cheong-ah Hwang (AKA papernoodle) started working exclusively with paper as her medium of choice when building very exquisite structures. Since then, her paper structures have been featured everywhere from art gallery, museums, and even at L’Atelier restaurant at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Born in Seoul, Korea and now residing in Colombus, Ohio, papernoodle is now offering her brilliant paper structures on Etsy! One of the coolest items she is offering is a paper structure piece featuring the Mark III suit from the first Iron Man movie and also a Captain America based on John Romita Sr.’s interpretation of Jack Kirby’s original drawings. Referred as a bas-relief paper structure, papernoodle hand crafts each piece of paper to create a very surreal three dimensional image. Her Iron Man paper structure stands at almost one foot, yet it’s less than an inch thick. If you are interested in one of this bad ass paper structures, you can drop by papernoodle’s Etsy shop, but these won’t come cheap. Iron Man and Captain America is $250.00 each! If you do get one, just make sure you don’t spill any water on it. You’re just going to end up with a $250 flat Iron Man napkin that’s wet…

During a trip to England, blogger Emily AKA Meimi132 came upon a restaurant that featured a red lobster standing over 5 foot tall, but after careful inspection, Meimi132 noticed that this crustacean statue featured the ridiculously awesome designed theme of the Iron Man Mark III suit from the first movie. Apparently, around Cromer, England, there are over 80 of these lobsters all over town, each uniquely designed and painted. This is probably an attempt to add art and humor to the seaport city. Considering, you probably won’t be seeing Tony Stark in a Iron Lobster suit while fighting Namor, this Iron Lobster definitely is giving the me the cravings to yank out a hammer and warm up some butter. If an Iron Man Lobster isn’t bad ass enough, there is also an Avatar themed statue called Lobatar. ROFL!
Check out Meimi132 Lobster report on her blog, Meimi132 no Itonami!
If you are lucky and find yourself in Hong Kong in the next two weeks, incredible toy designers, Hot Toys, is holding a really cool exhibit at Miramar Shopping Center called “Hot Toys X Iron Man CollARTible Expo”.

On top of that, Hot Toys invited designer/sculptors/artists from around the world to participate in a showcase of custom Iron Man Mark III Movie Masterpiece action figures. Representing the US will be the creative team from Sideshow Collectibles. Sigh… Don’t mind me… I’m just pissed I’m not in Hong Kong right now. Iron Man and dim sum? What can be better?!
