Limited edition Adidas x Star Wars Skywalker boots

Luke

Looks like Adidas is still persevering with its Star Wars range, although these Adidas x Star Wars Skywalker boots might have a little more appeal for movie die-hards than some of the range we've seen.

I'll be honest, I'm a passing rather than an obsessive Star Wars fan, so I'll have to take the maker's word for it that these are based on Luke's uniform whilst on planet Hoth. Obviously with an old school Adidas twist, along with contrast lacing and stripes, Luke Skywalker tongue details and 'toy' packaging.

Highly limited, they're yours for £99.

Beetle

Not just an old Beetle, this is a 1970s Herbie-styled Volkswagen Beetle.

Specifically, this is a 1973 VW Beetle with a 1.3 engine, complete with the  paint job inspired by the classic Herbie movies, which of course kicked off with the 1968 Love Bug movie.

According to the seller, the car has done 73,000 miles and has been taxed and tested. It's also described as a 'good runner and driver'. The price is £2,500, with lots of images on the sales page.

New trailer: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

We have covered Tintin on here in the past, not least because we're big Tintin fans. We've also reviewed the old Tintin live action movies of the 1960s – Tintin and the Blue Oranges and Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece. So we're more then keen to see what The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn turns out like.

The movie is a big Hollywood affair, directed by Steven Spielberg no less, although we're more appreciative of the fact that Joe Cornish (of Adam and Joe) has a writing credit, so despite the big budget, we're hopeful it might well be a fitting tribute to the original comic strip.

Saying that, the real life-like animation might take some getting used to. Check out the trailer now below, with the big screen date set at October 26th 2011.

Visage wallpaper featuring Marilyn Monroe

Visage wallpaper
She's one of the most iconic of Hollywood stars – and now thanks, to this Visage wallpaper, you can have Marilyn Monroe in your home whenever and wherever you want her.

Part of the Albany catwalk range that also features retro clocks that we showed you last week, this wallpaper design reproduces the image of a youthful looking Marilyn, alongside some almost indecipherable text reading 'strike a pose'. There's a choice of two colourways available, both of which nod to the glamour of the big screen. Take your pick from black and grey with metallic inks, or chocolate and gold.  

The paper costs £19.99.

Andy Warhol’s New York City: Five Walks, Uptown to Downtown by Thomas Kiedrowski and Vito Giallo

Warhol

Not our average art or travel book, Andy Warhol's New York City: Five Walks, Uptown to Downtown by Thomas Kiedrowski and Vito Giallo combines the two for something just a little bit different.

It's all about Warhol's New York, where he lived, where he worked and where he was forever associated with from the 50s to the 80s. 80 sites in total, all with background stories about the art, the movies and the fashion. There's even listings for Warhol's residences, favourite restaurants and factories, as well as iconic locations no longer around to see.

Enhanced with 12 original drawings by artist Vito Giallo, a former studio assistant of Warhol's, the 144-page book is available for pre-order now, priced at £8.99.
