There are a thousand replicas and scale models of Captain America’s iconic shield, from action figure accessories and cheap children’s toys to full-on display pieces. But none of them actually work like Cap’s weapon – you can throw them, but that’s like playing catch with a cat.

If there’s one thing I learned from my mother, it’s that 250% of my body heat leaves through my head and I need to put a hat on or I’ll catch a death of cold. That said, I still don’t wear hats in the winter as much as I really should.

There are thousands upon thousands of Avengers collectibles on the market, but here are some that I had no idea existed. What you’re looking at are the officially-licensed Avengers pocket watches. The series includes eight different watches, made to celebrate some of the members of Marvel’s popular superhero team.

Power up your gadgets in the cutest way possible, with these adorable battery packs based on Marvel’s superheroes. They look a whole lot like Funko’s Dorbz figures, but each of these cartoony characters packs a 2,600 mAh battery inside.

Avengers assemble! For tea time. Make your next beverage service a truly patriotic and geeky experience with this cool Captain America Teapot. Nothing is more American than tea- wait, what? Tea is more of a British thing right?

This summer has been way too hot. If only you had a cool personal sized fan to help cool you down. Well, lucky for you, the First Avenger is also the coolest Avenger, thanks to this Captain America 3 USB Fan.

My daughter isn’t a hair bow kind of girl. It’s probably my fault, I’m the one that has got her clothes together since she was tiny, and I’m all Jon Snow when it comes to hair bows.

If you think about it, the super soldier serum that turned a wimpy little guy into Captain America is really nothing more than a permanent steroid shot (on steroids). You can’t get your own super serum to avoid the gym like Cap did, but you can build your guns the old-fashioned way by hitting the weights.

The big movie release this weekend is Captain America: Civil War. I’m a fan of Marvel movies, but I am not a big fan of Captain America as he is played in the films. On the other hand, I am a fan of Iron Man, Spiderman, and some of the other characters in the film.

Console laptop expert Ed Zarick keeps pushing his modding skills. His latest finished casemods are based on the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. One is a Captain America-themed Xbox One laptop and the other is an Iron Man-themed PlayStation 4 laptop.

Back in the day, I watched a Captain America TV show and I don’t recall Captain America being cheesy in that show. I’m not a big fan of Steve Rogers in today’s Avengers for some reason, I guess he seems a bit cheesy to me and doesn’t fit with the kick-ass nature of the rest of the team.

In what seems like a belated April Fools’ cross-promotion, Marvel and Gillette made four concepts for funny super-powered razors based on Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor. Iron Man’s razor is the only one that you can arguably call practical, but all of them will probably kill you.

Let’s say you are dressed up like Captain America, however you lack the Cap’s cool shield. What can you do? Don’t fret. First, do you have a fan? Good. You’ll need one. This project could not be simpler.

I can think of no better way to celebrate your passion for Marvel’s superheroes than to make some tasty baked goodies in their form. That’s exactly what Flickr contributor Cindy Li did when she baked up this batch of delicious looking banana bread, baked in the shapes of Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine: These are truly bananas, Cindy.

We’ve featured Dave Delisle’s geeky hockey jerseys a couple of times. It turns out he’s spun off his designs into a separate store, which he simply named Geeky Jerseys. The store sells limited edition hockey or baseball jerseys with themes inspired by video games, movies and tv shows.
