sonic, tails and amy rose hats for true sega fanatics

filed under: geek art & craft | video games

Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean that you have to stop dressing like your favorite video game characters, does it?

Crafter BeBeBunBunBits (nope, I didn’t make that up) made these whimsical hats based on Sonic the Hedgehog and his video game pals, Tails and Amy Rose. But for some reason, Dr. Robotnik didn’t make it into the collection…

clone trooper voice changing helmet: send in the clones

filed under: just plain fun

With the new Clone Wars animated film hitting theaters next week, why not show up to the premiere in style? This new helmet not only makes you look like a Clone Trooper, it lets you sound like one too.

Just slip the helmet over your head, switch it on, and it makes your voice sound like that static-y radio chatter that you hear when Clones talk to each other…

Pac-Man Clyde Hat

I can’t decide if these Pac-Man skull caps are awesome or just weird. Let’s just go with awesomely weird. The colorful ghosts of video games past make yet another appearance, this time as crocheted hats.

Crafter ShadowsInTheNyte hand knits these goofy ghost hats to look like familiar video game characters…

Parappa the Rapper Hat

Parappa the Rapper has got to be one of the greatest rhythm matching games of all time. From its whimsical 2D cartoon character designs to its hysterical lyrics, it’s a true classic. Now you can pay homage to the paper-thin Parappa by donning the same hat that the eponymous paper-thin dog wore in the game…

LedHat

While you might think that top hats went out of fashion a hundred years ago, this funky hat hack uses modern technology to bring the classic cap into a new era.

The LedHat is a handcrafted wonder that involved soldering a grid of hundreds of individual green LEDs around the crown of a top hat. A microcontroller circuit enables the hat to display a variety of computer-programmed animations…

are you looking at my pac-man headgear?

Pac-Man Hat

I can’t imagine who the target market is for these ridiculous Pac-Man hats. While they might be cute on a 3-year old, for some reason, I don’t think they’d know what Pac-Man was. Besides, Namco says these are ADULT size.

For those of you 30 and 40-somethings who do love the little yellow dot gobbling fiends, I suppose you could wear one of these $30 Pac-Man plush hats…
