• Thigh-highs!? Use the capes to wipe yourself, haha. j/k

• Watch out for tiny revolving doors

• I saw He-Man push an entire planet one time. Meanwhile, I saw Vader get his hand cut off by a blond teenager resembling a less tan and muscular version of He-Man. I vote for He-Man.

• Just for the record, He-Man would demolish Vader, as the man can lift whole mountains and has gone toe-to-toe with pre-Crisis Superman. Plus the Power Sword is the mightiest weapon in the universe. Ofocurse, being a quasi-pacifist, He-Man would just settle for tossing Vader in a swamp or something. Still a cool image.

• Rob, allow me to pinpoint why these socks make you uncomfortable: because in the sock website's sidebar, IS A VIDEO OF A MAN'S LEGS IN WONDER WOMAN SOCKS, ROTATING 360 DEGREES. That, or it bugs you because Wonder Woman actually has no cape. Or a combination of the two.

• The shirt has hidden bonus easter egg nerdy references in it!

• I couldn't find He-Man/Darth Vader pr0n, but Rule 35 says it will be made.

• Well, between Episodes 2 and 3, he's a leftie. ;)

• Hell, I'm surprised at the price for boxers now. It's ridiculous. Makes me want to go commando.

• Evil Flying Jesus, it's true! Quick, everyone! Google "erotic He-Man Darth Vader fanfic," then click your way to Topless Robot! Let's screw with Rob's demographics!

• These are officially now part of my uniform. 

• I wish the socks were taller. :c Thigh-highs, plz?

• Maybe he's saving that as a surprise, like in the Princess Bride.

• I didn't believe you, so I tried it too. I had the same reactions.

• I think I can say with a reasonable amount of probability, that durability was not a prime concern in the design of those socks anyway. (Also, folding the edges of the scallops and sewing them closed would help protect them from fraying. I think. I slept at a Holiday Inn Express once.)

• I don't know.  I think the Wonder Woman socks would look fine over my shoulders...

• And Hera help us all if she breaks out the armor, sword and shield.

• I read your insistence that you do not want erotic He-Man/Darth Vader fan fic as 'please find me erotic He-Man/Darth Vader fan fic'. Which I believe is only natural, given that I've been a regular here for quite some time. So, as a favor to you, Mr. Bricken, I went ahead and searched for some. I didn't get far, though. Because I was giggling madly at the revelation that you are, in fact, the #1 Google search result for 'erotic He Man Darth Vader fan fic'. And then I sobbed a little, because that's now in my search history.

• Putting scalloping on them would make those tiny swatches of fabric even more susceptible to fraying.

• More importantly, Edna Mode?

• Also, I wonder how Tim Gunn feels about caped socks?

• Any future avatar pics of red shoes need the WW cape socks, too. At least for a while.

• She does on various formal occasions, including sometimes for godly-level battle. ...and socks.

• He's saving that hand for throttling purposes.

• I find your lack of faith disturbing.

• The capes do not look like batwings. Somewhat less amazing.

• Confession: I bought the Wonder Woman cape socks (even though WW doesn't usually have a cape), and my roommate bought the Batman argyle socks from the same site. :B It is awfully fun to run around the apartment with the cape flying out. And wearing them under work trousers? Why, it's like I'm a superhero with a secret identity.

• The first thing I thought of when I saw those socks is that Wonder Woman doesn't even wear a cape. Because that is the only thing wrong with this idea

• socks with capes? how about something more useful around here - underwear with kleenex - the flyhole could be the dispenser

• The only way those God-awful socks would stop being ridiculous is if Adam West were wearing them. That way the insanity would cancel itself out.

• I'm slightly too young (and too poor to have had cable) to have seen He-man at all, but that shirt is awesome. If shoes with wings let you fly, do socks with capes let you glide?

• I meant Vader.  Vader is right handed

• But... He-Man is right handed

• Socks with capes on them!  That's even better than cute wittle ankle winglets!

• They have capes on them, capes, Sock with capes, they are amazing

• Okay, I hate to be sexist, but those sock would look a lot better on a geeky girl...... that being said I would love a pair :D

• Of course they are, they're the goddamned Bat-socks.

• Note to self: Keep little sister away from Topless Robot for a while.  If she sees those socks she's going to want them and I don't want to hear her whining.

• The Power of Greyskull is no match for the Power of the Darkside,unless of course Eternians have a very high midichlorian count.

• $15 dollars for socks!!!! They better be amazing!
