If you were so inclined, you could spend time crafting your own Minecraft heads or take the easy way out and spend a little money to get them ready-made. I’ll take the lazy way every time.
Jinx now has both the Minecraft Steve head and Creeper head in stock for $17.49 each.
The full-body Angry Birds costumes are okay, but if you really want to look ridiculous you need to go with these giant Angry Birds masks.
Like a real Angry Bird, you’ll be crashing into everything since it you won’t be able to see a damn thing while wearing one.
Check out the green pig and yellow bird versions after the break.
The Steamy Side sounds a lot more inviting than the Dark Side to me. If you’re a droid susceptible to rust, you might not feel the same.
Darth Vapour (photo by Professor Fumolatro) is only one of many pieces of art and engineering on display at The Greatest Steampunk Exhibition. The exhibit is at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in West London and it’s filled with over 100 examples of steampunk creation from art to costumes to machines to short films. It runs until August 29.

I have to wonder whether or not the person who placed the $999,900 winning bid on eBay for one of nine available Casey Anthony masks will actually pay up, but either way the bidding war that ensued is a sad commentary on our society.
What’s more, other Casey Anthony masks are still up for grabs with bids of several thousand dollars each.
If you have some extra cash floating around and you want to get a jump start on Halloween, check out Epic Leather. They’ve got some crazy ass leather masks going on, like the Stormtrooper biker helmet we featured previously and this epic Dragon King leather helm.

If you haven’t seen the work of Tracy Widdess before, her custom “Brutal Knitting” masks are inspired by “creepy sci-fi and horror”. It’s definitely not the kind of thing that you want to leave out in the open in your bedroom after dark—perched awkwardly on top of your dresser next to your closet where the shadows can play tricks with your mind. You’re liable to have dreams of knitting while running away from monsters.
Check out more designs after the break.
In honor of the new meme du jour Chicks With Steve Buscemeyes, Alex Pardee has created a printable version that you and your friends (or your dog) can wear at home.

As Collector’s Weekly recently pointed out, the resemblance of these mid 1800′s rescue masks to those of Darth Vader and C-3PO is blatantly obvious. So, were they part of the inspiration behind the look of Star Wars?
Well, only designer Ralph McQuarrie would know for sure, but as far as we know they haven’t been mentioned as an inspiration—and McQuarrie has been pretty open about the process behind his work on Star Wars thus far.
That having been said, it’s probably just a coincidence—albeit a really uncanny one.
There are lots of electronic helmets and masks out there for fans of sci-fi that light up, play sounds and even alter your voice. And many of them might even fit your giant adult head. Don’t be ashamed—these toys are awesome at any age.
When you care enough to send the very best, only one greeting card will do. Even after the sentiment inside has faded, these die-cut coated cards can be worn as Superman, Wonder Woman or Frankenstein masks.
