People make the weirdest things. Fan things aside, even professionals make the weirdest things. So how do I react when ANN posts a story about Japanese sunglasses company Optical Coolens making sunglasses with Kouji Kabuto/Akira Fudo sideburns and Devilman eye lines and wings for the 40th anniversary of Mazinger Z and Devilman?

I have to react with a new Christmas gift idea for myself. So if any of you reading this are thinking about what to get us, Coolens is taking preorders starting on Monday. Of course, I wouldn’t expect that of anyone out there. These things are going for some really high prices. The Mazinger ones will be $218 and the Devilman ones will be $291. That’s a serious bill for some novelty eyeware. I’m guessing they’ll be a limited run item since it’s for the anniversary.
