So It's Come To This: Marvel-Licensed Leather Chairs

April 20, 2012 / but is it comfy?, chair, characters, gaming, i like laying down and playing video games (truthfully i like doing everything laying down), iffy, licensing, man your cat is going to rip a hole in that and then that white fuzzy stuff is going to stick out and it's gonna wind up looking like shit, marvel, sure why not

This is a series of faux-leather gaming chairs from DreamSeat (pfft -- my dreamseat is the captain's chair of a spaceship) with licensed Marvel character back graphics. Per copy/pasted product description because it's Friday afternoon and I went out drinking last night because I just couldn't wait another day:

The XZipit Video Game Rocker immerses you right in your favorite video game, music or movie. It incorporates built in stereo headrest speakers, sub-woofer and plug-in support for IPods, MP3's, CD players, home theater or video game systems


Pro series electronics and vibrations with volume and base controls.
Wireless kit with clear reception up to 150ft
Durable high grade synthetic leather upholstery with padded arms.

A chair will set you back $400 but can't be returned when you find out you can't see the graphic when you're sitting in it. Ooooooor just regret buying it in the first place. You know what chair you won't regret buying? A beanbag one. Those things are the shit. Well, at least until all the little balls start coming out. Then they get even better.

Thanks to SuperDan, who just bought one of each. Me? I've had the same Lay-Z-Boy for six years and have every intention of dying in it with my eyes open.

    I can't think of a better  $400 way to ensure continued, undisputed virginity.

  •  Amen to that!

  • I'll take it without the tacky images, thank you very much.

    I think it would actually look better if the faux leather were some color other than black, tbh.

  • BeefSupreme

    you can get them at pretty much any chain store.  for waaaayyyyy less than $400 .
    minus the picture on it. 

  •  It's true... I know Target has a LOT of them around the holidays.  But I still maintain that it wouldn't be as jarring if the "pleather" were red or blue or white or something other than black.
