Clothes x Comic Collaborations July 4, 2007

If you are a guy (or a girl) and you are into comics, you’re used to seeing the comic movie every now and then. But, lately there has been collaborations with clothing companies and comics to make some ‘one-of-a-kind’ pieces.
I must say that the concept is pretty dope, and I anticipate a lot more with the release of the Transformers Movie yesterday (July 3rd).
Check out what’s out there, hopefully, you can get your paws on something.

BAPE x DC Comics will feature four characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash. So far they have two Batman tees, one Superman tee, and one Flash tee. They haven’t mentioned anything about Wonder Woman yet

I also came across Batman, Flash & Superman sweaters via Complex

There are no prices yet for the BAPE x DC Comic tees, there are soon to be released. But the sweaters will be released this Fall. The Superman and Flash sweaters will go for $351 and Batman will run you $439 (you guys should start your Christmas wish list a season early).

Then you have Medicom making Q-Pots, a car accessory for the very popular BearBricks ( a toy company- I’ll do a post to explain what ‘Toys’ are in the next coming weeks). The Q-Pot were given a significant introduction. They’ll be available as 3 different comic characters: Superman, The Joker, and Batman

Hasbro will be making an action figure of Stan Lee the creator of X-Men, Spider Man, The Hulk, and The Fanastic Four. the 84 yr old will be honored in a 6 inch Marvel (Legends) Comic figurine.

New Era released (Jun 23rd) a set of limited edition fitteds of superheroes, try to get your hands on one of these jokers, there were only 144 pieces per hero available
EDIT~~~
These caps are available at the NEW ERA London Flagship store. & The Joker Caps are already sold out!

Adding to the fitted collabs, a new emerging company, Pretas, used vintage fabric, with the Transformers on it ( maybe they used the Transformers Sheet Sets that every boy had back in the day) and hand cut the fabric so that no two hats are the same and that the Transformer is stitched perfectly on the hat. This hat is slated to drop in the Fall.

And finally an overseas brand, Bond Internationl, has chosen the most famous Marvel Comic Superheroes and paired them with Technics DJ’ing equipment. These tees are of course, limited edition and go for £25 or $34. The superheroes range from Spiderman vs Venom, Captain America, The Hulk, Panther, and Ghost Rider.

Transformers Edition May 13, 2007

This should be an appreciated post for all my fellas.
I was surfing the net and ran across some noteworthy toys that are paying homage to Transformers and it’s upcoming movie release.
Hasbro the maker of Mr. Potato Head has made a Transformer Optimus Prime Figure.

The Optimus Prime Mr. Potato Head is only $9.99 and can be purchased online at KB Toys.
I also found the Monopoly Edition of Transformers. Coming complete with Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jazz, and Starscream as the game pieces instead of the dog and thimble. The game rules have also changed a bit, giving you a chance to battle for extra money, property, draw Autobot and Deception cards, and take away Energon Cubes.
The purpose of this Monopoly game is based on the Generation 1 comic book and animated series, this is the first and only game that allows you to buy, sell and trade the planets, bases, locations, and transports in the race for Energon Cubes and Anti-Matter in order to own and control the Transformers Universe.
You can find the Transformer Monopoly game at Amazon. The Price was $35.99, but it maybe cheaper.

Not related to the toys in this posting but for having everything to do with Transformers. Here is a t-shirt that I recently found on UrbanOutfitters.com for the Ladies.

 

The Transformers Tee $32.00
