Once a week I sift through the millions of Etsy listings to find the best in geek chic for Blog@ readers. Last week I found items pertaining to the First Avenger, Captain America. This week I’m going with one of my childhood favorites. That’s right kids, I’m talking about the Princess of Power herself, She-Ra.
Well we’ve got Lego Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, etc. I say it’s about time we get a Lego She-Ra. Until then there’s these custom made She-Ra and Swift Wing Legos! User littleRaccoonMama created this one and is selling the set for $40.
Just the other day a girl friend of mine needed a flask. Too bad this one isn’t sold in stores. It’s the She-Ra Princess of Power Flask from user stellarcustominages. This one features most of the cast and something tells me you’ll think you’re the Princess of Power after drinking from it. There’s also one available with just She-Ra’s face, both $32 each.
I still own all my She-Ra dolls and for obvious reasons the redheads were always my favorite. That’s why I’m in love with this Castaspella Light Switch Plate. User goblinhut is selling it as well as a Catra, She-Ra and a Entrapta one for $6 each!
Catra comes from Hordak’s Evil Horde, that doesn’t mean she can’t be associated with hearts. Check out this Catra hologram necklace from user HeadlessTessDIY. $16.99 for this one or $8.99 for a simpler version sans heart.
Created from an old comic book, these She-Ra earrings are simply delightful. From user ZacharyPryor, these go for $35 and there’s also a matching cuff available for $29.
As always, bear in mind, since Etsy is a craft website and not a commercial, mass-market dealer, items are almost always one-of-a-kind or in very limited availability. When you see something you like, buy it. It may not be there the next time you surf round. (Yes, it’s a very dangerous site for your wallet.) Also, since most items are created individually, many sellers are willing to customize something specifically to suit your needs. Just ask!

Hey, how come no one at Newsarama did a story about how LEGO signed a new deal with both Marvel and DC to produce new figures and playsets based on all their popular characters, not just Batman and Spider-Man?
Seriously, that is HUGE!
