6 Items You Didn’t Know You Needed
Working at a niche collectible shop, we often see the excitement on customers’ faces when they see nostalgic products and watch their surprise as they see products they had no idea existed. It’s quite a heart warming experience to see adults connect with their inner child. I've compiled a list of products that cause the most excitement, and as you peruse the list, I bet you’ll realize you need them.
Our replicas of both Gandolf’s and Bilbo Baggins pipes have been HUGE hits. As an iconic accessory in the movies, it makes sense to get excited at the possibility of feeling like them with these pipes. For those of you wondering, yes they are functional. Perfect for a Halloween party.
Almost all of our customers, any age, has lit up once they see our weapons shelf. Let's face it, there’s something in us that just wants to wield a weapon. The fact that they’re from peoples’ favourite animes and TV/movies is just the cherry on top. While we don’t sell ours battle ready, they absolutely could be sharpened with their carbon steel blades, making you a true samurai or your favourite anime character.
Chess is a classic, but being a classic can get old… but a themed chess can bring it back to life. Playing a chess game from your favourite movie franchise is the perfect way to zhuzh it up (and stay awake while playing). While this is true for our Batman, Star Trek, and Lord of The Rings chess sets, our Harry Potter wizard chess just has that extra oomph after watching them play in the movies. You can’t get better cosplay than that.
Speaking of Harry Potter, remember those wands from Universal? We have them too (but at a fraction of the price). You can truly feel as though you’re at Ollivander’s when choosing from our 34 different types (or rather when it chooses you). Grab a wand then hop on the Hogwarts Express!
Which wand will choose you?
I know there’s been recent remakes, but nothing beats the original Godzilla. Our Godzilla collection invokes that nostalgia and causes mouths to drop. Of course you could go with a classic Godzilla figure, or you could get a set with Godzilla and the monsters he’s fought. What’s a villain without his eviler counterparts?
Everyone wants to be an Avenger, we get it. But what if you could actually feel like one? Our life sized Mjolnir replica has brought in so many new faces to test their worthiness. Not only do you get to prove you’re worthy, you also look really cool wielding it. If the full replica is too much for you, a bottle opener replica could be the move.
As you can see, it’s no wonder our products have brought happiness into peoples’ lives. How could they not? As an adult you typically don’t see all the cool collectibles that have come out but we’re here to show you, you might decide you need them after all.
