If you’re trying to fool people into thinking that ZZ Top, Santa, Chewbacca or a Yeti is on a skiing trip, you’ll either need to stop shaving for the rest of your life, or buy a Beardski – the fleece and neoprene ski mask offered with a variety of attached, foot long beards.

Hey ladies… If you’re looking to attract the attention of a medical professional instead of a run of the mill pervert, take a page out of Heidi Klum’s book of bizarre fashion and consider sliding your gams into these muscle leggings. They may also help you get some additional exercise, since a pack of dogs is likely to chase you wherever you go.

Aperture’s never been so stylish.

The Seller notes that these 3D printed rings will “come in a solid color/material”. So if you want a look exactly like the render pictured here, you’ll have to paint it yourself somehow. You could also wait as the seller is currently working to provide full-color versions down the line.

Archie McPhee makes anime cosplay easier and more authentic with these crazy anime eyes glasses.

These glasses are perfect for fans, or even otaku, of Japanese animation. Slipping these on allows you to mimic the large eyes of anime characters whether you’re doing cosplay at Otakon or just talking to a fellow fan of Akira via Skype. Buy a bunch and you and your friends can act out your own anime and post it on the internet.

Speaking of otaku (or the equivalent of “nerd” in Japanese), Archie McPhee has informed us that they put “Otaku Approved” on the packaging as a nod to Nerd Approved and our sites under Nerd Approved Media. We definitely do approve!

Are you tired of hauling a bag of dice around to conventions, rpg tournaments, or just your regular game night? You can wear them on your sleeve instead. A creative crafter has devised a leather bracer with a built in number generator. It can roll 100, 20, 12, 10, 8, 6, and 4-sided dice in response to arm movement. No physical dice are necessary. The gauntlet has a nice Viking look to it and is sure to intimidate those at your table. Trust me, you want your GM to be scared of you.

Creating the bracer will take some sewing, electronic components, and time. I wouldn’t say it’s a beginner’s craft, but the instructions seem very thorough!
