Top 10 Umbrella Academy Holiday Gifts!

by Mellon Collie on December 16, 2010

10. Gelaskins for iPhones and Laptops (between $8.97 – $26.95)
Gelaskins are essentially covers for electronic gadgets such as iPhones and laptops. These are great for the hardcore Umbrella Academy fan who has an iPhone or laptop. These come in different sizes and designs. Not only do these Gelaskins look great on electronic equipment but they also protect the equipment from scratches. They’re also removable in case you want to change designs to match your mood.

9. Umbrella Academy Umbrella $29.99 $26.99 – Save 10%
You sort of have to read this one twice. Yes, this is an Umbrella Academy umbrella, featuring the logo of the Academy. This isn’t your ordinary umbrella. This umbrella features a black wood handle, automatic opening, and classic black and white panels. These are not cheap umbrellas, they’re made by industry leading umbrella maker Shed Rain and comes with a lifetime warranty. Perfect gift for this winter.

8. Umbrella Academy Mug $12.99 $11.69 – Save 10%
Remember issue 5 of The Umbrella Academy: “Thank You for the Coffee” (Series #1)? You will recognize this mug as a replica of the mug that Number 00.05 drinks his coffee out of. The inside of the mug says “Thank you for the coffee,” just like the comic book. Great gift for coffee lovers!

7. Umbrella Academy T-Shirts $29.99 $26.99 – Save 10%
Classic. You can’t go wrong with an Umbrella Academy T-shirt. Plus the celebs love this shirt. Mikey Way and Gerard Way’s wife Lyn-Z have been spotted wearing these great tees. They come in several men’s and women’s sizes.

6. Umbrella Academy Pocket Watch and Statue Set $129.99 $116.99 – Save 10%
I bought 3 of these! Sure these are pricey but they’re rare! Why? Because only 500 were made and they come with certificates of authenticity. This is great for a true collector or a really deserving fan. The watch comes in a deluxe faux-leather, velveteen-lined box with a numbered metal certificate of authenticity. It also includes a figurine of 00.05 holding the same pocket-watch. “Time to kill.”

5. Umbrella Academy Book and Figure Set $24.99 $22.49 – Save 10%
Here’s an affordable collector’s item. A bundle that includes a 152-page hardcover book that is 5″ x 7.5″ and a 4″ tall figure of the White Violin. This makes for a very affordable gift for fans of all ages, though it is recommended for fans 12 or older. This is a great deal for two items.

4. Umbrella Academy PVC Figure Set $39.99 $35.99 – Save 10%
A complete set of the Umbrella Academy characters! Save the world with all of the Umbrella Brats! The packaging on this set itself is awesome. The set includes 6 figures (ranging from 2″ to 5″) in a clear dome. This is not sold at your favorite local toy store!

3. Umbrella Academy Volume 2: Dallas (Limited Edition Hardcover) $79.95 $71.95 – Save 10%
The second series of the Umbrella Academy in a limited edition hardcover. Missed an issue? You get all the issues in an extra large format in a hard cover. There is also a version of this hardcover for the first serious but I believe it is no longer available. Get this while supplies last!

2. Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite TPB or The Umbrella Academy: Dallas TPB $17.99 $16.19 – Save 10%

These are simply all of the comics books in one trade paper back book. Graphic novel style. If your looking for a gift for a My Chemical Romance fan that has not yet started reading the comic series, this is a great place to start. [UPDATE: Only Dallas (Series 2) is available.]

1. Umbrella Academy Maquette: White Violin $119.99 $107.99 – Save 10%
Drum roll please. This is the single most unique, beautiful piece created. Hardcore Umbrella fans only. This figure stands at 10.5″ tall. It is limited-edition and includes a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity. For serious collectors. Makes an awesome gift. This is our favorite pick this holiday season.

The Umbrella Academy Book and Figure set reviews

by Mellon Collie on June 2, 2009

the-umbrella-academy-book-and-figure-boxIt has been a few weeks since the release of this great 152-page hardcover Umbrella Academy book and figure set and the fans are talking. For this book and figure set, Vanya was chosen, a.k.a. “The White Violin.”

She’s a standout character in the series, defying her family and showing a vindictive, violent streak.

A 5″ x 7.5″ hardcover of the trade paperback has been created for this set, featuring original Gabriel Ba cover art. Here’s some of the things they’re saying:

“The figurine is on the top shelf in her room like it is an item of worship.”

“Definitely a must-have for any fan of the series.”

“It feels like something you would get in a happy meal from a fast food restaurant.”
