Now that you have decapitated everyone’s favorite Spider-Man, go ahead and cram some LEDs into his eyes and spin his skull for hours on end. Hey, Spider-Man had a dangerous lifestyle—it was only a matter of time before some kid chopped his head off and used it as a top.

These journals say: “you’re not reading this sensitive information, unless you pick up this book and open it.” Indeed, diaries aren’t the most secure way to protect your innermost thoughts, but your secrets will sure look pretty written over the ghosted image of a classic comic book cover (featured on every page). Still, who the hell really uses diaries these days anyway? Available in Thor, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four versions.

Watchmen coasters…yeah. I wonder how Alan Moore, the writer of the original graphic novel, feels about this sort of thing? The word “despise” comes to mind.

It’s not slated for release until March 6th 2009, but merchandising for The Watchmen movie is already underway. Among the products that have already been announced, the prop replica guns for the Comedian and Rorschach are probably the most interesting. Hit the jump for detailed images and more info on each replica set.
These Wolverine Claw prop replicas may not be made of Adamantium, but machined, hand-finished aluminum is not a bad substitute. Plus, the claws are authentically replicated from the X-Men movie props—right down to the stainless steel, thick wire and palm base attachment. Unfortunately, the claws are permanently attached to the display base, so making them a part of your next Wolverine costume is going to take a little work—not to mention a whole lot of pain if you want to be truly authentic.

From Fashionably Geek: I don’t know if “The Naked Nightmare” would make a good sequel to “The Dark Knight“—but it would certainly be interesting (and it definitely makes for an amusing t-shirt).

As I am sure you have heard, The Dark Knight opens today. While it may technically be all about Batman, we all know that Heath Ledger’s Joker is going to steal the show. Speaking of stealing, you can use this Joker Poker set to take money from friends and strangers alike. While they are mesmerized by the 54 prop replica Joker cards, the second 54 card deck defaced by the Joker, the Joker-themed 100 piece chip set and the slick black aluminum carrying case, you can cheat to win.
