I’m a bit late on this, but they’re too good not to share!
Disney’s Star Wars Weekends started this weekend, and the promotional ads are simply spectacular. Get a glimpse of Yoda trimming hedges into Mickey Mouse ears! Check out R2D2 operating the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’s horrific elevator! Get a load of Chewie’s hair as he exits the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster!
Athletic apparel company Reebok has teamed up with Marvel (!) to design a limited edition of shoes that were inspired by some of the comic powerhouse’s most popular superheros.
Perhaps they are emulating the success of the Star Wars & Adidas collaboration (previously featured here and here)? Perhaps they are capitalizing on the current wave of fantastic superhero movies and related merchandise?
Whatever the reason, you can bet that these will be in high demand, and will be snatched up by geeks and sneaker aficionados alike.
My favorites are Captain America, Deadpool, and Black Widow. Which ones are yours?

Three things I love about these posters: They can be displayed separately or together. Each one has as its background pivotal locations from each movie. The minimalistic yet still completely recognizable figures of Marty McFly at the bottom of each poster. These screen-printed posters were printed on a limited edition run of 420 (haha) and sold out from Mondo within minutes. Did anyone else notice that the price was $88? ;-) Via trfling....
