Your kid may love Iron Man, but you’re not likely to get him a $168 titanium and composite example of Tony Stark’s bracelet when it’s just going to end up on the floor, in the yard, shattered in a thousand pieces or missing from the face of the planet. That’s why ThinkGeek is offering this kids’ version which only costs $30 and includes two bracelets, one with motion-activated lights and the other with both lights and sound.

The modeling sprue on this t-shirt has all the parts you’ll need to assemble your very own Avengers. It gets right down to business and includes just the key pieces to each costume. Hulk has his pants Thor has his hammer and Black Widow has guns, and boots? I suppose a girl can’t be expected to kick evil’s ass in just any old thing. The boots are an absolute must.

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.

Raise your hand if you’re incapable of painting your fingernails without it ending in disaster.
You can’t see it, but I’m raising my hand. I can’t paint solid colors onto my fingernails let alone some of the cool designs I see my friends sport. Luckily, I can cheat with these great nerdy press on nails. They come pre-painted! I know you can get nail stickers at any store with cosmetics, but they don’t come in Iron Man patterns. I’ll definitely be investing in a set of these nails before Comic-Con.

Robert Downey Jr. clearly has a sense of humor. He was recently spotted out and about with this t-shirt that pokes fun at Tony Stark’s attitude. Or is it Iron Man’s attitude? No, probably his own. Although Iron Man cosplay might be a bit hard to pull off, you can totally pull off this Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr. look with ease. All you need to find now is the hat, the cardigan and some crazy yellow glasses.

There’s cosplay and then there’s cosplay. I am often amazed by the amount of time and craftsmanship people put into costumes, and Master Le’s Iron Man Mark 7 Suit completely blows me away. It has shoulder weapons that are motorized, a retractable jet pack, and more. The armor is so good, he was invited to participate in some official promotions for Iron Man 2 in costume.
