Plush Pac-Man headgear munches on ghosts

We've seen some pretty off-kilter headwear in our day, but this plush Pac-Man helmet apparatus is begging for a top slot. This uber-retro head hides no secret in-ear headphones, Bluetooth chip, or whispering voice that alerts you of colored ghosts approaching from the rear, but you're sure to be the life of the party if you roll up with this on your noggin. Reportedly, this spectacular blast from the not-too-distant past is available in both child and adult sizes, but considering that quantities "are limited," we'd suggest coughing up that $29.99 real quick like if this just skyrocketed to the top of your must-have list.

There has been a version of this for years. http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/NMC-P035.html

Notice the date when the preorders where said to ship. 2005. I just wanted everyone to know :)

Yeah, I saw booth workers wearing them at DigitalLife 2006 in NYC.

These were at Comic-Con last year. Old as hell.

Those are perfect for Halloween. I can just imagine all the fat kids in the neighborhood wearing one while PAC-Munching on every piece of candy they see.

OH SNAP! I would _totally_ buy a motorcycle helmet that looks like that. Can you image? Tinted visor pulls down to make the helmet perfectly spherical? Gah! That would rock.

Pretty pathetic-looking headgear, but it might be useful in the wintertime when it's nippy outside.
