The Vault – The Flash Tie Clip

The Retcon Punchers spend an awful lot of time looking for ways to celebrate our nerdy obsessions. This means a lot of time sunk into scouring Etsy, Deviant Art, Think Geek or whatever. Sometimes we see things so great we just have to share them… and then clutch them fiercely to our collective chest. Throw it in The Vault.

Who Would Love This: Geeky, well-dressed men, geeky women who love geeky, well-dressed men

Price: $18.00

We’ve kind of fallen off the wagon for The Vault, so I decided to find a special geeky object to bring us back on track. So, what’s so special about a Flash tie clip? Duh, look at it; clearly it’s what you need when your tie is traveling at tremendous speeds. There are a number of clips to choose from, as well as belt buckles, hair bows, and other assorted jewelry. This Etsy store is extra special to me, because the gal who makes this stuff lives in Chicago, and I do love supporting local nerds. On top of that, I already own a piece of jewelry from here; alert reader Taylor got me this awesome Wonder Woman necklace for my birthday. Now, instead of just thinking about comics all the time without anyone else the wiser, I can advertise to the world that even my jewelry is nerdy.

The Vault – Batman Logo Best Friend Pendant

Who Would Love This: Best friends, duh.

Price: $15.00

Have you ever liked someone as much as you like Batman, but been at a loss for the best way to represent your feelings in jewelry form? Well, look no further. This pendant riffs on the classic broken heart pendant, but rather then completing the universal symbol of love, friends and couples sharing the pieces of this pendant can form the universal symbol of badassery. Everyone will think you love bucktoothed Pac-Men, but only you and your best friend will know the truth. All joking aside, I can think of no greater compliment than “you complete my Batman.”
