Figures, Collectibles, and Accessories
Beastie Boys Reaction Figures Intergalactic Two Pack

CLOTHING

G.I. Joe U.S.S. Flagg T-shirt
Much more than just a fictional aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Flagg is the stuff of legends. Infamously released as the ultimate G.I. Joe toy in 1985 (it had endless play features and was roughly 7-feet-long), it remains a nerd Holy Grail for many. If you or anyone you know counts yourself among their numbers, we point your way to this T-shirt from Super 7 depicting the Flagg that is a lot more practical. (Super 7, $30) (South Fellini, $28)
BOOKS
Masters of Make-Up Effects
Billing itself as “a century of practical effects,” Howard Berger and Marshall Julius’ must-have book celebrates the creative legends who have changed the pop culture landscape through their hugely innovative make-up designs in beloved film and TV projects spanning Hollywood history—including iconic projects like The Shape of Water (whose director, Guillermo Del Toro, provides the introduction) and 1982’s influential gorefest The Thing. CGI? Who needs it when the effects look this incredible? (Welbeck Publishing Group. $39.95)

Our favorites include images of Spidey thwipping his way through New York City and an eye-poppingly colorful Doctor Strange poster that is like, SO TRIPPY, man.

Standard Edition: $49.99/Deluxe Edition $99.99)
