With big, grown up older brothers like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, you might be forgiven for forgetting about the little guy who made his own set of controversies back when he first hit the scene in 2006. Bully took the formula we had grown accustomed to with GTA and set it in a private school with players getting the opportunity to exact revenge and torment the other students of the prestigious academy you were forced to attend. What could be worth more of a laugh than a Bully branded dodgeball of all things? The fact that this even exists is brilliantly mind boggling and anyone with the slightest interest in the series would love to own this. You can tell they went for the real deal as well, as looking at that finely textured ball of bruises strikes potent memories in which you can actually hear the sound of it colliding with your face. Truly a weapon far worse than any pistol.
You probably thought we would get through this list without an entry for the dear old Max Payne, didn’t you? This gun bag is surprisingly durable and pretty badass to behold; a simple bag worthy of the Max Payne franchise. You may be forgiven if at first glance you were to assume it is merely a gym bag with the Max Payne branding on it, but Rockstar went into some… interesting details as to just what this bag is capable of stowing away. I won’t get into it here, but I definitely have some questions for the team at Rockstar as to HOW they figured out their surprising and trigger happy list of items able to fit neatly in this bag.
Because why wouldn’t Grand Theft Auto continue to poke fun at society? iFruit is, of course, a wonderful middle finger at the globally dominating force that is Apple and their neverending line of products. The iFruit logo not only mocks the use of the iconic Apple logo but positions the fruit in a rather… suggestive way. Slapping this logo on a phone case is just a subtle enough reference that it still looks pretty sleek and only the hardcore fans of the franchise are going to understand where its from. In what must be a delightfully meta reference, this iFruit phone case is only available for the Apple iPhone, starting from the iPhone 6 up to the iPhone X.
Zippo’s are pretty standard fare, coming in hundreds of designs and styles. This one from the Grand Theft Auto camp, however, is another stroke of subtle beauty. Functionally it is a standard refillable Zippo, but the exterior is a high-polished chrome with laser etched “V” logo on one side and the Rockstar logo on the other. Something about this simple, sturdy piece of metal just screams cool as it conveys its subtle roots while still looking classy. Whether you need to light up a smoke to deal with stress like Michael, or you’re thinking of something more nefarious to do with fire in the vein of Trevor, this Zippo would look just as good in their hands as it would in yours.
1. RDR2 Collapsible Shot Glass
Red Dead Redemption 2 has made up a large chunk of this list, but hands down one of the coolest pieces of merchandise Rockstar is putting out is this collapsible shot glass. Not only is it an absolutely gorgeous brass color adorned with a beautiful and intricate Rockstar logo, but its compact nature means it’s easy to take with you anywhere you may be. Featuring a handy clip for even easier transportation, this shot glass uses modern technology to reinforce the hard-as-nails cowboy nature of taking shots of whiskey whenever the opportunity arises. It’s small, elegant, and one hell of a fun little nick nack to show the gang at your next social gathering.
So those are just 10 of the wild items available in Rockstar’s Warehouse. Are there any other suggestions from the site you think should have made this list? Are you planning on picking any of these up for Christmas? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter, or the Comments section below.
