Batman fans, get ready to give your display shelves a serious upgrade! Mattel brought a little Gotham City drama to New York Comic Con with the debut of its new DC Premium Batman: Hush Rooftop Bat-Signal Diorama Set, a collectible inspired by one of the Dark Knight’s most celebrated comic book storylines.

Who doesn’t love a good throne? I wasn’t expecting to encounter three fabulous hot-pink throne chairs when I visited the Summer Fancy Food Show in June, but there they were, presiding over the Diva Delights‘ booth like the seating area of a very glamorous destination.

This cookie brand went all-in on its diva theme, creating a sleek black-and-gold booth complete with crystal drop lighting fixtures, a dramatic gold-and-black logo backdrop, a jeweled-pen giveaway and these spectacular Pink-and-Gold High-Back Throne Chairs. The cookies stepped aside for a moment: I absolutely had to take a picture of these chairs!
