With the release of these new Avengers flash drives, we now know that the power of Thor’s hammer, Captain America’s shield, Iron Man’s helmet, and the Hulk’s disembodied fist translate to 8GB of file storage apiece. Although the drives look cool and offer retractable USB connectors, many will be disappointed to learn that no Hawkeye or Black Widow designs are currently available… C’est la vie.

The Mimobot line of designer flash drives is planning to dig into DC in a big way with designs based on the likes of Superman, The Flash and Green Lantern—but they are starting off with vintage Batman figures.
The drives include 1939-era Batman, Adam West-style Batman, Robin, Joker and Catwoman versions in 2G-16GB flavors loaded with bonus content.
The 1939 Batman drive is available now with the rest of the series following in February. The release is limited to only 5,000 units. Check out a promo video after the break.
From CubicleBot: Remember that Stealth cat robot flash drive from the other day? Well, there’s another Nekobot flash drive from Incubot on the way, and this time its a robot we all recognize—Voltron. It’s labeled as “coming soon” with 2GB of storage and a Blazing Sword accessory. Based on the Stealth Cat, I would also expect that it will be priced at or around the $40 mark.

Put a mini Iron Man to work storing your boring computer files with this sculpted USB drive from Tyme Machines. Although his Mark VI suit and triangular chest plate offer 4, 8 or 16 GB of space, the real question is whether it will offer the same protection and flying characteristics that Tony Stark enjoys.

You finally hit the magical 18, and with that rite of passage, you’ve earned a flash drive with 2GB of storage space for your strictly “over 18″ business. You know… a place to store your selective service records, voter registration, and marriage certificate.

Hop on board the Blue Bird express and prepare for a short 128 MB joyride down the information superhighway. With most USB flash drives today easily offering a gig of space or more, it will become readily apparent that the school bus is no cooler in the world of file storage than it is in the world of transportation.

Remember Screamy from the other day? Apparently there is a flash drive version…and now he is a condom. A screaming condom. Now you might think that a USB flash drive with a condom theme would offer you some additional protection, but this one has no additional security features at all. Additional photos are available after the break.
Nothing particularly revolutionary about a Santa shaped USB flash drive. What I find very odd is the need to remove his pants in order to access the USB connector. It would have seemed a lot more appropriate if you had to remove the bag of toys, but apparently someone really wanted those pants off.

The adage that an elephant never forgets is all well and good, especially when he is handling your sensitive data. Beside looking like the best hung elephant this side of Nigeria, this guy can hold up to 4GB of your most important files. That is better than your average novelty drive that has less than 1GB. Reasonably priced and with room to spare, it is about time you gave the elephant some love.

USB flash drives are everywhere now to the point that they have almost become utilitarian. There is nothing boring about this Transforming “Ravage” USB Flash Drive. It can do the normal job of making all your documents and files portable, but when not being used as a flash drive it can be a vicious cat. Looking like a toy may make it less likely to be stolen than a flash drive, but with the maturity level of your co-workers it may be more likely to disappear.
