EpikPanda is a line of panda-themed morale patches, a few of which are garbed in popular comic character uniforms. Seen above is my personal favorite, the PMC Panda patch, which is heavily inspired by the Q Concepts Boba Fett Crye Precision AirFrame helmet.

I’ve been holding onto this image for a while. It’s from the Agents of SHIELD show, when HYRDA revealed themselves. In true supervillain organization fashion, they just had to put their logo on the Plate Frame.

ThinkGeek – Tactical Holiday Stocking

1687_tactical_holiday_stocking

Leave it to ThinkGeek to come up with something like a ‘Tactical Stocking’. Made from “Heavy Duty Nylon”, the all-black tactical stocking features PALS webbing, carabiners, quick-release buckles, a top handle, a Velcro panel, bi-directional side zipper, and a small, external pouch.

If it were in some kind of Christmas-themed camo, and they lost everything but the PALS webbing, external pouch, and the Velcro panel, I might actually want one.

Put Out The Vibe Patch and Sticker

Just in time for the new Dumb & Dumber flick that released today, Violent Little Machine Shop is offering their brand-new ‘Put Out The Vibe’ patch as well as a sticker. Immortalizing the classic Icelandic Snow Owl Benefit scene (y’know, the one with the tuxedos?), the design is printed on a PVC patch and a weather tough sticker. The patch comes with an art card, and both the patch and sticker can be purchased separately or as a package deal.

(I Can’t Belive It’s Not) MultiCam Monday – Army Commando Costume

Monday, November 10th, 2014

For this (I Can’t Believe It’s Not) MultiCam Monday, we’re reposting an old classic from three years ago. Why is it always during Halloween that the MultiCam ripoffs come out of the woodwork?

Available at Target, the boy’s Army Command Costume consists of two pieces, the uniform and helmet. It’s made from 70% polyester and is available in small, medium and large sizes. My favorite aspect of this costume is the ‘Army’ tag; it’s a nice touch that lets other people know: “Yes, I am pretending to be an Army Commando this fine Halloween’s night. Candy, please!” There’s also something familiar about the camouflage that I can’t quite put my finger on…
