Here’s something every fan of Star Wars and Japanese cuisine will need to add to their gift list – Lightsaber Chopsticks. Lightsabers merge with Japanese culture and “Chop Sabers” emerge!  Suitable for eating sushi or defending the galaxy, the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader lightsabers measure over 9” long, with the blades cast in translucent material.  The smaller “children’s size” Yoda saber measures approximately 8” long.  As a special bonus each set includes translucent Star Wars logo chopstick rests. The utensils will arrive in stores in 2010, but those attending the San Diego Comic-Con and participate in the Chop Saber…

For those who can’t get enough Tim Burton, Dark Horse Deluxe has announced new products based around his book  The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. Springing from Burton’s sketchpads and notebooks, these charming little characters have taken on a life of their own. They are his strange little children, and although some have described them as twisted or odd, as Burton himself has observed: “One person’s craziness is another person’s reality.”

Dr. Peter Coogan sent an e-mail letting us know that the Comics Arts Conference will have a T-Shirt available at the show for attendees to pick up.  Fans who want to support scholarly activity regarding comics and pop culture, should stop by the Comic-Con Boutique or the Graphitti booth, and pick up a couple. If you want to find out more about the Comics Arts Conference at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, check out our recent discussion with Dr. Coogan.

Long time fan of the Major Spoilers website, Josh was one of the first to purchase our Bear Reads Major Spoilers T-Shirt from the Major Spoilers Merch Store. THANKS JOSH!  And for your loyalty, we now parody you from the original source. If you want to buy your own Bear Reads T-Shirt, you know where to click.  Purchases from the Major Spoilers Store go to a good cause – keeping this site alive for another week. Don’t worry, we aren’t going to make a shirt with Josh on it. Yet.

Press Release Diamond Comic Distributors, the world’s largest distributor of English-language comics, graphic novels and related pop-culture merchandise, has announced that it will have seven limited exclusives for 2009 Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC). “We’re very excited to offer these exclusives to 2009 SDCC attendees,” said Dan Manser, Director of Marketing for Diamond, the publisher of PREVIEWS. “Each month, PREVIEWS offers great fare for comic shop customers, a number of which are exclusive.

Everyone seemed to really take to our This Bear Reads Comics image posted earlier today, and many asked for a T-Shirt or other product featuring the cute cuddly polar bear that they could snatch up and buy. Your wish is granted.  We changed the design slightly to ensure we don’t get sued by a certain big comic book company. The Major Spoilers Merch Store now features the T-Shirt design for men, women, and children.  And unlike the F’Continuity! shirt, you can change the color of these to your liking. Here’s the breakdown of the Men’s Tee Product Details Men’s Heavyweight…

With a bazillion people reading the Scott Pilgrim series, and the movie in production, it’s a pretty sure bet that merch will fly off the shelves when the movie hits.  That is if Universal Studios Consumer Products Group can find someone to produce the clothing, accessories, action figures, novelties and whatnot. When those figures do become available, I’m hoping they are the Bryan Lee O’Malley designs and not Michale Cera version. via Global License

I’m trying to keep this post as clean as possible, so I’m heavily editing my thoughts on the company that wants to slap its name and intellectual properties over anything and everything for a buck.  On the plus side if you like anything and everything Marvel, you’ll be happy to know that in the spring of 2010, you’ll be able to pick up all sorts of stuff at your local Walgreens. Characters from Spider-Man Classic, Iron Man Classic, Hulk Classic, Marvel Comics Retro, Marvel Heroes, the Iron Man movie and the Hulk movie properties will grace toys, automotive accessories, pet…

Maybe it is the paranoia finally getting to me, but it seems the publishers are starting to figure out this whole web promotion thing, and instead of relying on the indie web sites (like this one), the comic publishers are starting to do their own thing.  DC launched its own blog site releasing DC news befor anyone else, and now Marvel is getting into the action figure arena with Geek-lactus. What is Geek-lactus?  It’s a monthly video series hosted by Jasse Falcon, where he talks all about new Marvel merchandise.  On the plus side, Marvel is making these videos embeddable,…

Major Spoilers fan Josh P. was the first member of the Major Spoilers Legion to pick up the F’Continuity t-shirt we are selling in the store, and he sent along a picture to prove that he received it. That shirt sure does look good!  And check out that shelf porn going on in the background.  I sense a Major Spoilers contest forming right now… Thanks so much for being a fan of Major Spoilers, Josh!  There’s something special being put in the mail just for you. Want to be part of the Major Spoilers experience, and want your own F’Continuity…

This ski mask has to be one of the most disturbing bits of clothing I’ve seen, and it can be yours for the low low price of $16.99.  While this certainly looks creepy, criminals are going to have a field day with this kind of ski mask as it makes it even harder to identify the perp. via Amazon

What better way to show your support for DC and the upcoming Blackest Night storyline than by sporting a t-shirt of your favorite Lantern Corps. All the colors are there, except white. But then again, we wouldn’t want to spoil the ending of the series. via Graphitti Designs

I know George Lucas made a killing in the 70’s when he managed to secure the merchandising rights for Star Wars properties, that lead to those wonderful Star Wars bedsheets I used to have (sleeping with Princess Leia took on a whole new meaning), but check out the crazy stuff currently being hocked on eBay in an attempt to cash in on the upcoming movie. You are bidding on a pair of standard size (18 x 28 inches) pillowcase. 100% Cotton with 200 thread count! They are very soft and comfortable since we use the highest quality of garment in…

Press Release Gerard Way has managed to make quite a name for himself in the comics industry over the past year—racking up an Eisner for Best Limited Series, and a Harvey for Best New Series, for his breakthrough miniseries The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite.  In tandem with series artist, multiple-Eisner winner Gabriel Bá, Way has created a bizarre world which defies the space-time continuum, and pits a dysfunctional family of super-powered siblings against animated monuments, talking chimpanzees, a secret society of robot assassins, and each other. Right on the heels of the first issue of Way/Bá’s highly anticipated follow-up series,…
