8 Ridiculous Pieces Of Comic Book Merchandise (You Secretly Want To Buy)

Is nothing is sacred?

In the world of comic book-related merchandising you'll find there's the good (Marvel Select), the bad (the atrocious Superman 64 game jumps to mind) and the totally unbelievable (a Batman-themed hamster cage, really?). Thanks to the astounding popularity of comic book culture today - due in no small part to the large number of mainstream superhero movies and TV shows like The Big Bang Theory - there's never been so many bizarre and incredible items of geeky interest on the market. Is there even a limit to how many official (and unofficial) products could be made when it comes to these characters? Will you eventually see a Krusty the Klown level of comic book merchandise? Does the future hold get Punisher emblazoned handguns? Green Lantern aspirin? Wonder Woman home pregnancy test kit? Looking at some of the items on this list, they could be well on their way. Krusty himself would be proud of just how many common, and not so common, things people have managed to tie-in to one comic-book or another. From the amazing, to the hilarious, to the totally bizarre, if you thought they couldn't come up with anything else to put a superhero on, then have a look at these. Some will leave you open-mouthed in shock, while others you may actually want to have for yourself.
