			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was so busy looking at his awesome helmet, blaster rifle and jet pack, I have no recollection what Boba Fett was wearing on his feet. While I&#8217;m guessing he donned some sort of military boots, I&#8217;m pretty certain they didn&#8217;t look like this.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94517" title="boba_fett_shoes" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/boba_fett_shoes.jpg" alt="boba fett shoes" width="600" height="546" /></p>
<p><span id="more-94516"></span>These handpainted Boba Fett Toms shoes look comfy enough, and will slip onto your feet faster than you can say &#8220;Sarlacc Pit.&#8221; They&#8217;re made by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GeekyFootware">GeekyFootwear</a>, and perfectly capture Fett&#8217;s iconic helmet design &#8211; except on your feet instead of your head. I don&#8217;t much care for using them to stomp on Chewbacca&#8217;s head though. Actually, I&#8217;m pretty sure Chewie would rip off your arms (and legs) before you could even attempt such a feat with your feet.</p>
<p>But anyhow, I digress. If you&#8217;d like some Boba Fett shoes for your feet, a pair will set you back $80(USD) over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/100045816/custom-painted-boba-fett-toms-ive-got-a">Etsy</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kivadeno, an Etsy user, has created some awesome <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89717680/super-mario-brother-custom-vans?ref=sr_gallery_7&amp;sref=&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=super+mario+brothers&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade"><em>Super Mario Bros.</em> Custom Vans</a>. I know what you&#8217;re all thinking&#8230; you probably think that your nondescript white van with no windows serves you well enough in driving around for your window cleaning business, and that a Super Mario Bros. van might draw too much unneeded attention.</p>
<p><span id="more-81049"></span>Well, you are obviously not &#8220;hip&#8221;, as the kids say these days, since you were unaware that vans are no longer ugly cars &#8211; they are things that you put on your feet. The Super Mario Brothers <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/01/10/retro-star-wars-van/">Custom Vans</a> feature both Mario and Luigi &#8211; one on each shoe. Despite the fact that Kivadeno may have forgotten to draw Luigi&#8217;s chin (maybe he left it at home) the designs are pretty awesome.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81082" title="super-mario-vans-1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/super-mario-vans-1.jpg" alt="super mario vans 1" width="600" height="831" /></p>
<p>On the back of the shoes, you have a couple of options. You can get the red and green mushrooms, or you can get two generic Yoshi eggs. You can go with this, or you can go with that. <em>*<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zJWA3Vo6TU">Cue shuffling hamsters</a>* </em>Obviously, you want to go with the &#8216;shrooms on this one. Unfortunately, since these shoes are hand-painted, and Kivadeno put a lot of effort into making them, you&#8217;re going to have to fork over $90(USD) for them. Geeks, get your forks ready, because there&#8217;s only one pair left, and I&#8217;m sure plenty of other people have their silverware primed and ready to fork over cash. <em>*Stabs a $100 bill* </em>I&#8217;M GOING ALL IN ON THIS ONE.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81083" title="super-mario-bros-custom-vans" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/super-mario-bros-custom-vans.jpg" alt="super mario bros custom vans" width="600" height="445" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was having a flashback to seventh grade not long ago with a group of similarly immature people on Facebook. We were going back and forth tossing out all the slang terms for breasts that we could think up from our childhood. Don’t ask how it got started. I am going to coin a new term for boobies after seeing this bra with hand painted mushroom and goomba from <em>Super Mario Bros.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59922" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bra-io.jpg" alt="bra io" width="600" height="400" title="bra io photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-59921"></span><em>Goombas</em> sounds like a nice name, but it lacks the panache of something like say <em>chesticles</em>. But if your girl wears this bra for you &#8220;<em>show me your goombas&#8221;</em> would be perfectly appropriate.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59923" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bra-poke.jpg" alt="bra poke" width="600" height="400" title="bra poke photo" /></p>
<p>The mushroom and goomba <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74901703/mario-mushroom-and-goomba-bra?ref=v1_other_2">bra</a> will cost you $35. If Mario isn&#8217;t your thing you can get a bra painted with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/76361800/pokebra-pokemon-bra?ref=v1_other_1">Pokéballs</a> on each cup, or the classic <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75597578/nintendo-nes-controller-bra">NES controller</a> with half on each breast.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59924" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bra-tendo.jpg" alt="bra tendo" width="600" height="396" title="bra tendo photo" /></p>
<p>The guys selling these bras are called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SceeneShoes">SceeneShoes</a> and they can custom paint you any bra you want, trademark-be-damned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out these awesome Super Mario Bros. high-top sneakers! Each one is precisely handpainted by Rachelle Williams of <a href="http://paradoxartistry.com/">ParadoxArtistry</a>, and covered with imagery of all of your favorite Super Mario characters.<span id="more-19629"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19631  aligncenter" title="nintendo_sneakers" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/nintendo_sneakers.jpg" alt="nintendo sneakers" width="600" height="449" /></p>
<p>The left shoe is covered with goodies like the question mark block, a &#8220;POW&#8221; box, 1-up and other mushrooms and of course, Mario himself. On the right shoe, you&#8217;ll find all the baddies &#8211; Goomba, Chain Chomp, Bob-omb, Piranha Plant and Boo, among others.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19636  aligncenter" title="super_mario_high_tops" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/super_mario_high_tops.jpg" alt="super mario high tops" width="600" height="484" /></p>
<p>At $160 smackeroos a pair, they&#8217;re not cheap, but think about how much two original paintings and a pair of high-tops would cost you and then it doesn&#8217;t seem that bad. While the pair shown above is a Men&#8217;s size 11, Rachelle will happily make you a pair in any size.</p>
<p>Check out her complete selection of handmade video game goodies over at <a href="http://paradoxartistry.etsy.com">ParadoxArtistry&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This (somewhat creepy) 3D anime lass is actually hiding a nefarious secret- behind her back lurks a dastardly PC mod!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2432" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ern006pc.jpg" alt="ern006pc" width="519" height="387" title="ern006pc photo" /></p>
<p>Um, wow, I guess if you&#8217;re really lonely and have a lot of time on your hands this is a good idea. This is a handmade mod, by Katsuya Matsumura, and she&#8217;s made from styrofoam and painted by hand. I have to give full props for doing an extremely professional job.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2430" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ern006pc2.jpg" alt="ern006pc2" width="520" height="208" title="ern006pc2 photo" /></p>
<p>For some reason it&#8217;s called ERN006 which is a decidely un-titillating moniker for such a hot-bodded mod. Even if you don&#8217;t read Japanese, you can see how he did it by viewing a <a href="http://sae.cside.com/sae/kat/pc/ern006/ern006.htm">startling number of photos</a> documenting the process of turning a block of styrofoam into a lady-love, er, casemod.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2431" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ern006pc3.jpg" alt="ern006pc3" width="520" height="250" title="ern006pc3 photo" /></p>
<p>I mean it&#8217;s not the least bit weird or pervy to spend this kind of time and energy on a project of this nature, right? Oh hey, it turns out my fingers were crossed while I was typing that last sentence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now you can geek out with Guitar Hero or Rock Band <em>even more</em> than you already do &#8211; by getting your guitar controller custom-painted to your liking!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2398" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/guitarhero11.jpg" alt="guitarhero11" width="518" height="98" title="guitarhero11 photo" /></p>
<p style="center;">Question: How envious/impressed would all of your friends be if you busted out a personalized guitar controller on game night? Answer: <em>Extremely</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2400" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/guitarherodbl.jpg" alt="guitarherodbl" width="518" height="168" title="guitarherodbl photo" /></p>
<p>Etsy&#8217;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5515399">BlackStar Designs</a> will gussy up your guitar controller however you like- with themes like video games, bands, sports logos, or whatever else you can think of. The custom paint job either costs $30 or $50; it&#8217;s unclear from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11403958">order page</a> which it is because both prices are mentioned. Even for fifty bucks, I&#8217;m tempted, because I can only imagine that a custom controller would simultaneously intimidate my adversaries while imbuing me with additional Rock Band prowess and panache.</p>
