To the casual observer, this is a nice little patriotic bracelet, but to those in the know, it is clearly a Captain America bangle bracelet. It has his signature shield and silver stars and will look perfect on your wrist this Fourth of July. Or, if Gods are more your style, you can opt for Thor dangle earrings complete with lighting bolts and itty bitty Mjolnirs. Either way, your outfit will look perfectly assembled with these accessories.

Ever since Kinect Star Wars arrived in stores we’ve known our favorite heroes can dance. We’ve seen Han breaking out his best moves, dancing Slave Leia, and even stormtroopers on the dance floor, but only now do we discover that Darth Maul has been holding out. Watch as Maul spins his lightsaber and shakes his Sith assets at Walt Disney World Star Wars Weekends in Orlando, Florida.

I can’t say that I’m super excited about the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, but this shirt is another story. It features the new costume in a big movie poster-style design.

The most stunning part of this very realistic looking Iron Man costume is that it’s actually constructed from cardboard. Mark Pearson, a 44-year-old car mechanic from West Yorkshire spent 14 months creating it out of household items including an ashtray and 400 sheets of fiberglass covered cardboard. This was a true labor of love that started with a helmet, but snowballed into an entire suit. Unbelievably, the suit doesn’t even fit Pearson. It fell to his 6’2′ friend Darren Higgins to wear the armor at the local opening of The Avengers.

There were some beautiful costumes in The Hunger Games but one of the most memorable has to be the Girl on Fire outfit that Katniss Everdeen wore while in The Capital promoting the coming games. It was an absolutely stunning costume in the movie, and now you can have one of your own. This handmade, two-piece outfit is a zippered jacket and a skirt and can be yours just in time for the summer convention season.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Thor. I think it’s the flowing hair, or maybe the cape, or maybe the muscles, um, what am I supposed to be talking about? Oh, yes, the adorable Thorgi, wielding his hammer in the fight for justice. I love this shirt so much I want to hug it. What kind of strings do you think I’d have to pull to get this little guy a cameo in the next film?
Seriously, Thorgi actually exists!

Now this is how you make body paint sexy! Samantha Star is all dolled up as Captain America and beautifully photographed by Joey D in this series of pictures. She looks just amazing. And in case the ladies feel left out, don’t worry, we’ve got a finely muscled Colossus just for you.

I’ve spent more than my fair share of time creating costumes for my kids. It always seems like a great idea. I was a Girl Scout. I have a sewing badge so surely I can make costumes at least as cool as the ones in stores, right? Yeah, it never happens like that and, after watching this ad for Avengers costumes now available at Target, I’m retiring my sewing badge for good. I’m a little jealous of Thor, though. Check out those long luscious locks of his. I want that hair.

Hot Topic has opened up a virtual wing of their shop for merchandise available for pre-order for The Hunger Games. They of course have the standard t-shirts and tote bags emblazoned with a mockingjay or the motto of the games, “May the odds be ever in your favor,” but they also have some neat products. I like the jewelry designs (my mockingjay necklace is actually from Hot Topic back when they had merchandise from the books – I got it off a clearance rack) and items like the District 12 backpack. I wouldn’t necessarily carry it, but it’s a nice tie-in considering Katniss carries around an orange backpack in the arena. Speaking of the arena, Hot Topic is even offering a replica of Katniss’s bow.
The items have various ship dates so if you’re shopping for the movie premiere on 3/23 be sure to check the dates closely.

Maybe you’d like to dress like Harry Potter and his friends more often, but house robes aren’t exactly fit for every day wear. When you can’t go full on wizard, you still have options. Potter’s black and red Triwizard tournament shirt is perfect for chilly days, as is Hermione’s long sleeve Gryffindor shirt. They’re both replicas from the films. Even though your clothing may be slightly more Muggle-like, you should still carry your wand.
