Super Mario Piranha Plant Light Flexes Its Stalk

Posted on by

One of the most pesky and persistent enemies in the Super Mario universe is the Piranha Plant. These little buggers like top pop up and chomp down on your butt just when you think you can get across a jump. Sure, they look pleasant enough, but as soon as they open their mouths, they go all Audrey 2 on you. Now, you can keep a Piranha Plant on your desk, and you don’t need to feed it a thing.

Paladone’s Piranha Plant lamp comes with its mouth wide open, and looks intimidating as it pokes its head out of a drain pipe. Its green stalk is poseable, so you can bend it to your whim, and aim its light where you want it. Rather than living organic matter, this Piranha Plant is made from plastic, and it’s teeth aren’t sharp enough to break skin. The plant can go anywhere too, since it runs on battery or USB power.

Whether you’ve already got a Super Mario theme going on, or it’s the first thing you add to your decor, people will know immediately that you’re a Nintendo fan – or that you’ve got a really weird green thumb.

You can pick up one of these lamps over on Target for $34.99.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Egg Cups Are All They’re Cracked Up to Be

Posted on by

Eggs. I love them scrambled, over-easy, in an omelette, on top of a burger, poached, or boiled. And potatoes aren’t too shabby either, but they’re just not as healthy for you as eggs are. Well, now you can enjoy potatoes with your eggs without the added carbs, thanks to these Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Egg Cups.

Collectible swag maker and gift maker Paladone created these officially-licensed egg cups based on the starchy couple as they appear in Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story series. They’ll give your hard or soft-boiled eggs a fresh new look, and let you play dress-up at the dining table every day. Simply put your egg in those waist-high potato pants, then pop on the hair, ears, and eyeballs (which are all one piece.) Voila! Eggs and potatoes living in perfect harmony.

Warning: Don’t attempt to do the same with a regular Mr. Potato Head toy, or you’ll end up with a mess on your hands as you try to poke the eyes through the eggshell.

Naturally, they’re sold as a set of two, because Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are inseparable, and they won’t let any old fry gal break them up. You can grab the pair over at Firebox for just $12.99. Now for some reason I am reminded of Humpty Dumpty.

Keep Your Digits Dry with Some Thumb Sweatbands

Posted on by

Whether you use your them for sending endless text messages to your friends, or playing a round of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on your Nintendo Switch, your thumbs are getting a workout. After all, opposable thumbs are one of the more useful bits of human anatomy. Of course, if you use them as much as I do, they might work up a sweat. What your thumbs need are some tiny sweatbands!

Fortunately, the guys at Entertainment Earth have got you covered. These miniature sweatbands are just the right size for your thumbs, and will keep your joysticks and buttons nice and free of thumb sweat.

For $6.99, you’ll get a set of four tiny sweatbands, two with a “P1” designation, and two marked “P2,” making them perfect for two-player gaming sessions.

I wonder if these are stretchy enough to put around your cat’s paws.

Dress-up Napkins for Superhero Slobs

Posted on by

If you are the slobby sort who can’t seem to keep your food off your clothes, you might want to use a napkin. The Three Stooges always crammed napkins into their shirt collars to keep food off. Granted, they typically ended up with the corner of the tablecloth, resulting in an even bigger mess. Still, if you need to keep clean and you want to be a bit geeky about it, these are the napkins for you.

There are four designs and when the squares are unfolded, they look like the chests of classic DC superheroes Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Superman. You can stuff the napkins into the collar of your shirt and bam, instant cosplay that will also keep you clean. The Wonder Woman napkin also gives you a very nice rack. Bonus.

A package of 24 will cost you $5.99(USD) with shipping set for May 2016, and you can pre-order now at Entertainment Earth.
