I think a lot of gamers have plunked down a few extra dollars for the limited edition versions of their favorite games. It might get you the disks in a snazzy tin or a set of dog tags or a statue of something cool from the game. Maybe even a dragon. Fans of Resident Evil 6 can pick up their own limited edition version of the game that comes with four different RE6 branded tablet covers and Leon Kennedy’s jacket—but it’ll set you back $1300 dollars. Nope. I did not type an extra zero. You must have really deep pockets if you want to sport this look.

Would you buy any of the hoodie designs featured in this graphic? Of course you would. The only problem is that they don’t exist—yet. DeviantArt user lupodirosso sent an email off to BioWare in an effort to turn these into real-world products.
She’s worried that the designs are do complex, too gender specific and too costly to produce/buy. That’s probably true, but there is a lot of potential here. Hopefully BioWare will deliver.

A word of warning: if you wear this Chocobo hoodie from Etsy seller India Rose Atkinson, you automatically agree to give piggy back rides to anyone that asks.

Damn you ThinkGeek. Once again we wish your April Fools products were real—and never has that been more true than with these Skyrim Electronic Dragon Shout and Technomancer Digital Wizard hoodies.
In addition to the awesome armor aesthetic, the Dragon Shout hoodie would allow the wearer to blast all 20 dragon shouts from the game through an electronic speaker.
The Technomancer Wizard hoodie would allow the wearer to cast 10 different “spells” (including fireball, healing, and lightning bolt) accompanied by lights and sounds thanks to dual accelerometers in the sleeves that sense your precise hand movements for casting.
Again, these are only April Fools prank products, but ThinkGeek has a history of turning their practical jokes into real-world items. Given the popularity of these concepts, I would hope that these would be available for sale in some form or another in the near future.

When did fungus get so darn cute? This cardigan features hand sculpted and painted mushrooms from Super Mario Bros and a hand sewn applique. It’s chic, it’s subtle, and one of those pieces that’s good for a convention or the office. It’s definitely on my want-a-lot list!

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Afterwards, I will put on a snuggler blanket and eat Hot Pockets while watching How I Met Your Mother.

If you love retro cartoons and knit sweaters, Entertainment Earth is offering this TMNT example which is slated for release in June. If you’re living in the northern hemisphere, that means you’ll have to stain it with the sweat of impatience or wait 3 or 4 additional months before you can wear it comfortably.
