Fans can enjoy a pint or two of Hyrkanian Hops to quench their thirst for all things Red Sonja with this two-piece Red Sonja pint glass set, designed to capture the She-Devil with a Sword as she appeared on the covers of Marvel Feature #4 and 1977’s Red Sonja #1, both illustrated by industry legend Frank Throne! Featuring the ever-classic Red Sonja logo on the back of each glass, this two-piece set ships in a protective case and comes enclosed in a window front collector box.
The Dynamite Barware Kickstarter also offers two different bottle opener options! For those without fangs, you can now open your Drakulon draft with the official Vampirella bottle opener! Made of sturdy, cold-cast zinc alloy and measuring approximately 4.5″ by 2″ in size, the bottle opener ships in a four-color display box and features two magnets on the back that will allow you to conveniently display on your refrigerator door, readily available for use!
Additionally, devotees of Chaos! Comics will smile from ear-to-ear as they pop the top on their tasty beverage with the Smiley the Psychotic Button bottle opener! Made of sturdy zinc alloy and stainless steel, and measuring approximately 3.75 inches tall, this toothy bottle opener also features a back magnet for ease of storage, and ships in a full-color box!
