Watchmen Rorschach Beanie Mask (click to enlarge)

I don’t know if this Watchmen Rorschach Beanie Mask is “cool” or just plain “freaky’, but either way I had to post it.

Rorschach is easily one of the coolest super-hero characters to ever grace the comic/film world. The character was created by Watchmen writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons.  He wears this mask which displays morphing inkblots.

I’ve read the inkblots are said to reflect his emotions, although I’ve also read the inkblots are randomly generated based on the shapes used in the psychological “Rorschach inkblot test”, a test where subjects have their perceptions of what they see in inkblots analyzed.

Unfortunately the Rorscach Beanie Mask won’t morph into either of those possibilities, but it will freak people out I’m sure – especially if you find Rorschach’s hat to go with it.

I found this particular mask on eBay.  At the time of posting there’s 9 days left on the auction with a Buy it Now price of only $11.99.

Check it out here.

The Rorschach Beanie Mask isn’t the only way to cover up your face Rorschach style.  Check out the image directly below of the Watchmen Deluxe Rorschach Movie Mask.  This is arguably even more freaky/scary than the Beanie Mask.

Watchmen Deluxe Rorschach Mask

The Rorschach Deluxe Mask is finely made of latex and fits adult sizes.  It advertises itself as able to “instantly transform you into a masked vigilante” which is kind of disturbing (and hilarious at the same time).

Grab it for $34.99 from Entertainment Earth.

Finally, if either of those two masks don’t tickle your wanna-be super-hero gland, then perhaps you’re in the market for a more traditional vigilante stocking based version.

Our good friends at Entertainment Earth can help out there too with the Watchmen Rorschach Stocking Mask:

Watchmen Rorschach Stocking Mask

To be honest, I think the Watchmen Rorschach Stocking Mask is probably the scariest of them all simply because it looks more like the kind of mask you’d expect to see on the guy standing in front of your local bank teller.

It too is made from latex.

You can grab it for $11.99 from Entertainment Earth.

Personally my favorite is the Rorschach Deluxe Mask but when it comes to the art of being a masked super-hero vigilante, whatever works for you.

Gandalf the Grey's cloak from 'The Lord of the Rings'

This is mighty expensive but a mighty awesome piece of movie collectible clothing – a made to order exact replica of Gandalf the Grey’s cloak from the original Lord of the Rings.

It is made by Stansborough, who provided the material for the original cloak for The Lord Of The Rings.  It took over 10 years to create the special wool breed of unique grey sheep known as the ‘Stansborough Grey’ and now they are the only kind in the world.  The ‘Stansborough Grey’ sheep wool is spun and then woven on 1890’s looms at the Stansborough Weaving Mill in Wellington.

Comes in three lengths, S, M and L with a 6-inch (15 cm) difference in length – the cloak pin in the image isn’t included.

Price: NZD $1,906.67.

Wolverine's Jacket from the first 'X-Men' Movie

Before I say more, yes I’m aware this photo of Wolverine is from X-Men Origins: Wolverine and not the first X-Men movie.  After searching and not finding an image quick enough I decided it really didn’t matter too much.

To be clear, this collectible is modeled on Wolverine’s Jacket from X-Men and not the one in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  But it’s close nonetheless.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, this replica jacket is advertised as having been “extensively researched and replicated using only the finest authentic materials as worn in X-Men, the first movie of the blockbuster trilogy” and as “the only jacket replicating all details and approved by both Marvel and 20th Century Fox.”

The jacket is fully lined and made of heavy grade genuine leather with leather accents, then distressed by hand.  By “distressed by hand” they mean the jacket has been handcrafted to look worn, like its been through Wolverine’s battles.

Features heavy duty zippers and a custom X-Men sew in label and custom liner as well as certificate of authenticity.

As an added bonus, the jacket includes a real metal dog tag and chain that match the one worn in the film by Wolverine.

Sold only as a set, the jacket and dog chain can be used as a display collectible or worn for real.  Whatever tickles your collecting fancy.
