Those crazy Legion of Super-Heroes fans want their day in the Sun, and want DC to cough up some Legion of Super-Heroes rings to go along with the company’s Blackest Night and Brightest Day promotion. It doesn’t sound like a bad idea as there is a new LoSH book on the way from Paul Levitz. It should be a pretty big event, and tying a promotional ring into the release would be pretty cool. Those of us who have been around long enough (notice I said AROUND long enough and not ROUND long enough) might already have their own Legion…

I’m not one to wear custom designed footwear, but this pair of Nike Dunk Low is certainly to be a favorite of Hulk fans. ChrisCo took the idea behind the raging behemoth and applied it to the shoes that feature the green and purple motif done up in such a way that makes these tattered shoes shine. If you want to get your hands on these babies, good luck, as they’re already gone from eBay and the ChrisCo website is a bit difficult to find if you can even order these sneaks. via ChrisCo
This week at the New York Toy Fair, Dark Horse Comics unveiled a Bettie Page statue based on the work of Dave Stevens. Dark Horse called on Dave’s close friend and sometime collaborator Kent Melton, a top sculptor with whom he had always hoped to do a project of this sort. Dark Horse and Melton went over Stevens’s many Bettie Page images, and the result is the most accurate representation of the pair’s many conversations on the subject. “We have enormous respect for both Dave and Bettie, and we felt an obligation to make this piece a home run,†David…

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the last four years of running Major Spoilers it is this; fans like their comic books, but they seem to like merchandise even more. And while the comic book lover in your life may not need a life sized prop replica of Magneto’s helmet, chances are if they are a fan of Marvel and the X-Men, they’ll be more than happy to display a life sized prop replica of Magneto’s helmet on their shelf, desk, or they might even wear it down the street to pick up the ladies.

What started out as an April Fool’s joke a few years ago, turned into an actual product, and is perfect for Star Wars fans. The Tauntaun sleeping bag is a bit friendlier looking than the ones that appeared in the movie, and while sleeping bags should look cool on the outside, the inside is really nice, as it features an intestine pattern. Best of all, there’s a lightsaber zipper to open and close the sleeping bag. All the info, and a video, after the jump!
