No, we’re not talking about Substabce D. This Iron Man Rocket Blast Launcher by Hasbro can set Tony up 40ft in the air. No batteries or wires, just good old fashioned compressed air. Great for the young at heart and inebriated.
This harddrive casing has bad motherfucker written all over it. Featuring Mr. Snakes On A Plane himself, this casing would perfectly complement any collection of ultra violent downloaded movies. Also available is a cubed Vincent Vega (John Travolta). Meninos seem to be positioning themselves as the hardrive version of Mimoco, the makers of the highly sought after Mimobot flash drives. Retails for USD250.00, and that’s just for the casing alone. For those who can’t afford this, I suggest MagicMarker to beautify your ratty DigiBoy casing.
Back then if you wanted to own a luxury handset, your choice was pretty much limited to the Vertu. But starting with Dolce & Gabbana’s gold take on the Motorola V3i, and most recently with the announcement of a USD5000 phone by Christian Dior, fashion labels have been trying to get in on the act. Infidel Media takes a quick look at 6 fashion phones because nothing says ‘I’m a rich trendwhore’ like an overpriced phone.
Motorola RAZR V3i, Dolce & Gabbana Phone
Price: USD380
Release date: Early 2007
Killer Feature: Gold paint. And lots of it.
Verdict: The first of the fashion phones, Dolce & Gabana took the wise step of partnering with an established handset producer. Unfortunately that company was Motorola. Anyone who has used a V3i can attest to its clunky interface which was also ugly as hell. In short, the gold styling was probably the only redeeming feature.
The Levi’s Phone by Levi Strauss & Co and ModeLabs
Price: £270-£340
Release date: Late 2007
Killer Feature: A removal chain at the end. This would be cool if it was 1998.
Verdict: Great jeans, lousy phone. The lowest-end brand among the six featured phones, you have to wonder what the Levi’s executives were smoking when they came up with this idea. It’s understandable if you wanted to show off your couture phone but seriously, would you actually want to be seen with this? (more…)
In yet another attempt to milk the franchise dry, the marketing types at Lucasfilm will be releasing a Star Wars themed fishing set complete with a lightsaber styled fishing rod. Looking at the pictures, you also get a ‘Darth Vader Fun Net’ and a ‘Jedi Utility Box’. Great for 6 year olds and attention seekers, but only if the attention you desire is where people point and laugh.
