Inspired by cosplay, these Baby Batman figurines come in your choice of Batman (Classic), Batman (Modern), Joker, Robin, Bat Girl, Cat Woman, Two Face and Mystery. These are pretty adorable in a “I have more toys than you kid” sort of way. Link [via]

Packing in a mind-blowing 8o tools (75 of which you’ll likely never use), the Swiss Army SwissChamp XACT Knife is definitely not a pocket knife.
