Welcome once again to the movie marketplace that is Watto’s Emporium, which rounds up some of the best merch that we found across the online galaxy this week. And the emporium celebrates anti-heroes, proper heroes and the undead in a period setting. You think that’s odd? Perhaps anywhere else, but here in the emporium, weirdness is the order of the day, or rather week, in Starburst Magazine’s Watto’s Emporium Weekly Top 3 round-up…
3. Deadpool T-Shirt- Costume (beltsbucklestees.com, £17)
After years of planning, development, setbacks, insecurities and Ryan Reynolds practically pleading, Deadpool is FINALLY here (read our most impressed verdict here). The wise cracking assassin certainly has taken his time tearing it up on the big screen but now that he is there, he looks to have brought a hell of a lot of profanity, violence, laughter, weapons and mayhem with him. So seeing as you can’t get yourself a red and black outfit and shoot stuff, well you could but we give it 5 minutes at best before the cops cart you off, why not get the gear in support of Marvel’s merc with a mouth? And over at beltsbucklestees.com, they have you covered when it comes to dead good Deadpool merchandise. Our favourite piece has to be this wickedly thought up t-shirt, that plasters the front of your torso and abs- or flabs in this writer’s case- with the Deadpool costume and physique.
2 Pride, Prejudice and Zombies Girls T-Shirt (nerdkungfu.com, $12.95 USD)
When it comes to crossovers, Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies takes the biscuit. The 2009 novel inspired by Zombie fiction and Jane Austen’s classic (it was only logical) was not going to go long before being turned into a movie and admittedly Burr Steer’s film has taken longer than expected to arrive but it is finally here. So other than picking up the book, how can you get in the right frame of mind for the film? Well you could pick up this shirt from nerdkungfu.com, which is enough to have people’s eyes “excessively diverted” towards the kick ass girl wearing it!
1. The World’s Finest Shirt (merchoid.com, £14.99 (Pre-Order for 19th Feb)
And finally, seeing as though the final (and hugely exciting) trailer for Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice was released earlier this week, we thought we’d end with a piece of merch celebrating the world’s finest. Hence, from over at merchoid.com, here is a shirt celebrating the battle of supes and Bats, with a boxing style print design. Who will win? Who else will cameo? When will Lex go bald and most importantly of all, just how well suited to the Bat suit is Affleck going to be (we are guessing he’ll be awesome). It could still go either way but get ready because Snyder’s hugely risky film is about to dawn on us all…
Be sure to keep an eye out every week for our pick of the top 3 funnest, funkiest and freakiest finds in our online merchandising explorations!
