Deadpool
Gift buying for most Marvel fans is straightforward. Find something Marvel logo-emblazoned, wrap it, and go home. Deadpool fans are not your average comic nerd. They know that about themselves. They aren’t looking for your typical gag gift. They want something for the guy who ruined an action scene just to insult an author’s decision about comic book canon. We aspire to that standard.
This collection was curated because every time we saw Deadpool merchandise popping up outside of this selection, we cringed. Deadpool gets.shortchanged. So many other sites will throw his likeness on a bobblehead and sell it because they know the name will drive traffic. That’s not what we’re about. Each of these products was chosen because it fits Deadpool’s character. The humor. The sass. The gorgeously ludicrous attitude he brings to his adventures. Saving everyone’s favorite homicidal mutant became our passion project.
Deadpool Fans come in a few varieties. We’ve got the die-hard that has loved Deadpool/Wade Wilson long before Hollywood gave him a firearms convention poster handsome. This person loves comics, can quote Deadpool’s run verbatim and will likely correct you on your X Force trivia. Then we have the person who devoured both Deadpool movies over the course of a week and won’t shut up about how great they are. Don’t make either of these people suffer with a bland gift.
What we look for in Deadpool merchandise is cleverness. There’s nothing wrong with Deadpool just dressing like a killer Halloween costume. But he doesn’t love himself in that getup. These gifts take a page from his book by staying aware of themselves. They don’t have to take themselves too seriously and are clearly made by people who understand Deadpool. We laughed out loud when we found several of these. If it can make us chuckle, you’ll get a kick out of it.
We’ve kept this collection lean for a reason. While we would love to sit here and list every conceivable Deadpool product under the sun, we prefer to guide you towards the good stuff.
