Agents of SHIELD Party Packs

[moonlettuce]

So, a few of us had a viewing party for Agents of SHIELD and, us being us, pretty much went all out. We cosplayed as Coulson (as you do), had cake with Phil on it, and there may also have been party packs. I may have got a little carried away with these.

For anyone who is interested, this is what went into them.

Firstly, the party bag itself:



And then a whole batch of stuff went in there. Stuff I bought (pound shops very much for the win here), stuff I printed, stuff I made. All of it went in there. All of it.

An Avengers light-up yoyo. Because who doesn't need one of those?



Marvel Heroes Surprise Bags, including masks. Oh yeah, now you can wear a cardboard mask and pretend to be Wolverine...



An Avengers inflatable sword:



An Avengers inflatable shield:



(I admit at this point, that the above two items went in purely so there would be SHIELD and SWORD in the bags. If I could have got ARMOR and STRIKE in there, as well, you can bet your boots I would have. However, the only other Avengers inflatable they had was a mallet, and I was too busy having flashbacks to Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini to even contemplate it.)

An Avengers jigsaw:



It's a jigsaw that tells you to assemble. It's a jigsaw that tells you to assemble. Anyone who thought I was going to miss the opportunity to include that pun doesn't know me at all.

Avengers fingerboards:



They're skateboards. For your fingers. No, I don't know why, either, but that's never stopped me before and it certainly didn't stop me now.

An Avengers kite:



An Avengers foam plane:



An Avengers frisbee:



(I'm only now realising just how much of this shit you can use to brain someone by throwing it at their head. Maybe it was subconscious...)

And sticking with the theme of throwing stuff through the air, Avengers slingshot gliders:



An Avengers pull-string copter:



(This also falls into the category of 'I have no idea why...')

Avengers foaming soap:



(Because I know the first thing I think of when I look at Thor is 'I bet he smells of an alluring mix of summer berries...' and not 'Jesus fuck, you can bounce coins off that arse...')

Marvel heroes bubble gum:



(I did say it was random...)

Temporary tattoos:



(I got slightly obsessed with finding the tattoo of the SHIELD logo at one point. I'm not entirely sure why since I have an actual tattoo of the SHIELD logo, but I've given up trying to work my brain out ::shrugs::)

Badges:



Because, badges!

Spiderman pocket tissues:



Spiderman tumbler:



(And, yes, I had to tell myself to remember to include the 'e' on that.)

Spiderman colouring pens:



(Before anyone says it, yes, I'm aware that Spiderman isn't part of the MCU, but he's still an Avenger in 616, and everyone needs colouring pens.)

Avengers paper dolls:



(Cut out and stick together your very own Nick Fury *\o/*)

Agents of SHIELD promo photos:



And then this is where I started getting carried away and making stuff to go in the packs.

SHIELD necklaces:



SHIELD earrings (to match the necklace):



SHIELD rings (and apologies for the really crappy picture on this one):



SHIELD magnets:



(AKA: the reason Claire should never be let loose with magnetic tape.)

SHIELD keyrings:



'Welcome to Level 7' bracelets:



And that was it. All of the Avengers shizz people never knew they wanted, but got anyway ::grin::

That's awesome! I wish I was at your party!

...Clark Gregg himself wishes he could have been there. Wow.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

That is a significant amount of tat.

[fides.livejournal.com]

That is an almost Coulson level of awesome amount of tat.

I think the keyrings might be my favourite although all the home-made stuff looks really good.

It was an awesome party to be at :D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I had way too much fun putting these together :D

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

It is *\o/*

I was really pleased with how everything I made turned out, to be honest, although the keyrings do look particularly awesome (if I do say so myself) :D

I am in awe of your packing skills, managing to get it all in the bags.

I thought of you the other day when I walked by Build-a-Bear. Not as random as it sounds since their window display had bear Iron man, Spidey (and Jedi). There was me thinking they only did terrifyingly bright rainbow bears, mylittlepony and smurfs. Mostly though I was thinking, uhoh no BlackWidow, she probably isn't gonna like that.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Seriously, there's a picture with one of them all laid out, and I'm kind of amazed I managed to make it all fit.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Don't get me started. Build-a-Bear do Iron Man, Captain America and Hulk. No Thor, no Hawkeye, no Black Widow. When I asked if they were planning on bringing them out (because I would have got the entire set), I was told "We don't do bears or costumes with weapons."

Now, this was said by an employee when we were standing next to the pirate costume with the cutlass hanging from it. Also, the entire fucking Iron Man suit is a weapon. What do they think Tony Stark uses that shit for? Baking cookies? And even if that excuse flew for Mjolnir and Clint's bow, it doesn't work for Natasha. The widow's stings are way less obvious weapons than the suit.

If they'd said "We're only doing these three because these are the ones we'll make the most money on," I would have grumbled internally but accepted it (and probably bought the other three), but a shit-ass excuse like that? Build-a-Bear can go fuck themselves and I'll keep my cash.

Urg. Sorry. As you may be able to tell, I have feelings on this.

Those are the most awesome party bags ever!

Thank you! I had so much fun putting them together. I actually felt a little gleeful every time I found more things to put in there :D
