I swear I thought the Technomancer Hoodie was real until I checked the geek points. The video was convincing as hell.
Usually the geek points box is the clue that it’s a gag, but the inflatable Captain’s Chair has a real number available. Hmm. Edit: Just tried to add it to the cart, and sure enough it’s real.
I was able to put the Shrugs shirt in my cart. The Creeps told me Oops! Not Real. Maybe you can get one after all. I just wanted to see what would happen and did not complete a purchase.
A blend of Dragon’s Hide and Dragon’s Reverie scents from Black Phoenix would match most of their description. Or you could get them to do a custom blend, I imagine. The bottle would have to be obtained elsewhere, though. Y’know, in case ThinkGeek has, as usual, produced an April Fools product or two that people actually want.
You forgot to list any of their gag gifts. I about drove my nephew out of his mind when I put an Eviltron into his bedroom a couple of years ago.
They also have:
Phantom Keystroker V2: stick into USB port, glitches your victim’s computer with random hiccups (mouse arrow spazzes out, phantom letters while typing, etc.)
I seriously could not love ThinkGeek more. Their regular stuff is too cool, their descriptions are a hoot, and the April 1st jokes are just so clever. I love how much time they put into making the April Fool’s items look real. If they only offered gift packaging, I would never buy from anyone else.
I was like “I’d buy that chair all day long!” and then I was excited to see it was real but sad it only goes up to 120# (“not built to Shatner-esque specifications” someone said)
But at only $25 I’ll probably buy a pair for my nieces…
A year or so ago they had “2001 Monolith Toys” (literally blocks of plastic) and they eventually released them as real items and I totally bought them for two of my 2001-obsessed friends.
