Skull belt buckle / LED "display" / MP3 player wants to fight your battles for you

So, we're not going to say this is the greatest thing we've ever seen, because we've seen some pretty awesome things in our years and years of living on the edge, but it's pretty, uh... heavy metal. Regardless, the so-called "Punk Skull" belt buckle is one multi-talented reminder of Death: he holds up your pants, but can also play MP3s (1GB player included) or display fascinatingly terrifying LED light patterns (LED module included) -- though sadly, not both at once. If that's not enough uses for you, the manufacturer suggests that the buckle is solid enough for you to use "as a handheld weapon," which is great, because we suspect that suddenly, a lot of people are going to start wanting to fight you. Available now for wholesale, we're pretty sure they'll be making their way to high-end retailers near you soon, and that they'll be horrifically affordable. A few more shots of the carnage after the break.

Wear this to distract people from your hideous face and nerd-like clothes!

[o29 @ Nov 16th 2008 1:11PM]

I'm not sure this is an improvement over nerdy clothing. Pocket protectors could get you more sex than this.

All he needs now is an Xbox shirt and a calculator watch.

[zfurie @ Nov 16th 2008 9:29AM]

Dont forget the bluetooth headset lanyard!

[Flashpoint @ Nov 16th 2008 9:47AM]

and don't forget the pocket UMPC.

[gad get @ Nov 16th 2008 9:54AM]

Don't forget the glowing Star Trek shoes!

[Flashpoint @ Nov 16th 2008 10:39AM]

A Zune Tattoo would round out the outfit nicely.

This is for someone who needs to completely prove to the world that they are just THAT much of a loser.

[Raheem @ Nov 16th 2008 9:02AM]

I will give an atomic wedgie to anyone I see wearing this.

[wedgiemaster @ Nov 16th 2008 5:26PM]

aka wedgie seen around the world . put those industrial clamp on their boxers, and pull it by means of heady duty steel chains

One heck of a boner...

[joe blow @ Nov 17th 2008 1:08AM]

That's exactly what they want.

[dandaman @ Nov 16th 2008 9:03AM]

May I be the first to say, the flaming arrow coming from the belt looks like a body part 90% of us engadget readers have.

We were all thinking it, I just said it.

[Freakin Ijit @ Nov 16th 2008 9:57AM]

> ...a body part 90% of us engadget readers have...

I do not have any body part that extends from hip level to shoulder level regardless its state.

Sigh.

you might want some cream for that rash

[Graham Wellington (formerly tyrone washington, or marsha goldberg) @ Nov 16th 2008 1:06PM]

eh shipping kills it.

[LC Crz @ Nov 16th 2008 2:02PM]

ya, shipping sure does kill it... china grabber has free shipping i believe... but no "cool" mp4 buckle... rats!

[unruled @ Nov 16th 2008 9:09AM]

chastity belt.....

[Valicore @ Nov 16th 2008 11:00AM]

Now with female repellent.

[Freakin Ijit @ Nov 16th 2008 9:57AM]

I think that's pretty much a given.

[KaRmAChAnG @ Nov 16th 2008 9:30AM]

Haha!! The guy in the picture looks so proud to be wearing it.

[Reality Check @ Nov 16th 2008 9:30AM]

Wearing this belt is a guaranteed way to ensure no woman will ever undo it

[gad get @ Nov 16th 2008 9:32AM]

Why a "handheld weapon"? Why not just a "weapon"? If you simply said "it can be used as a weapon", would people think you meant a pants-held weapon?

[strider_mt2k @ Nov 16th 2008 9:54AM]

VIRGIN SQUAD ASSEMBLE!!!!!

[ZIG @ Nov 16th 2008 9:56AM]

lol pants held weapon or not, that thing is the ugliest and most useless gadget i've seen in quite a while..

[Jigen @ Nov 16th 2008 9:59AM]

Imagine taking a leak with that thing...

[LonnieDvD @ Nov 16th 2008 10:56AM]

It plays music, and you can knock someone out with it. Some street thugs might be interested in this, in case their guns run out of ammo and their knives are lost.

[wxrman @ Nov 16th 2008 11:01AM]

....and when he sits down? That thing isn't going to crush his manhood?

[William C Bonner @ Nov 16th 2008 2:33PM]

I'm glad someone else said it, since it was my first thought. My second thought was how the western bull rider trophy buckles are oval in the wide direction for a good reason.

[Cassini @ Nov 16th 2008 8:17PM]

"....and when he sits down? That thing isn't going to crush his manhood?"


What manhood?

[SimonRichards @ Nov 16th 2008 11:39AM]

"Now with added giant fiery penis!"

[Connely @ Nov 16th 2008 11:40AM]

Now, this might seem like the perfect deal for most of us readers, but here is my question:

If you need to use it as a weapon, will you lose the ability to keep your pants from falling off?

It seems like a possible design-flaw to me, and I hate when false marketing is used to further hype a product to make all of us interested buyers run out and buy one, and then have all of our hopes crushed when realizing that the product wasn't as great as they made it out to be.

[Torx @ Nov 16th 2008 11:44AM]

I hope the buckle can fight because you're going to encounter quite a few wearing that.

[striggity @ Nov 16th 2008 11:52AM]

that guy tucked a polo shirt into a pair of jeans. He lost before he even put on the belt buckle.

[Valicore @ Nov 16th 2008 11:52AM]

I can see this at maybe... a biker rave in SF, or maybe for the Folsom Street Fair. Other than that, this is useless unless you like getting jumped.

[Alex @ Nov 16th 2008 12:26PM]

Getting jumped might be the closest thing that you'll get to sex while wearing this.

[EnGIMPTet @ Nov 16th 2008 12:56PM]

Don't forget to email my trolling ass (spammers, especially): [e-mail]

[theguy @ Nov 16th 2008 1:51PM]

So your saying the engadget editors are gay, then you talk about jobs' wee wee?? huh funny how that works out

[Kate @ Nov 16th 2008 1:11PM]

The way I see it, this heavy p.o.s. will be a drag on your pants and your attempts at seduction.

i too was looking for that tag.. but then i realised its actually awesome.

[duber @ Nov 16th 2008 4:56PM]

How do you unzip your flyer wearing this? It better be rustless...

[Alex @ Nov 16th 2008 5:59PM]

They forgot to mention that upon purchasing this buckle you automatically give consent to get your ass kicked by anyone.
