Despite their unfortunate name, these headphones have great sound, fabulous noise cancellation, and a design that’s luxurious and comfortable.

This hair straightener is excellent, but expensive. Today’s deal makes it more accessibly priced, and it’s one of our top picks for a reason.

And it looks nice while doing it! (Or sitting on your countertop afterward.)

Avengers: Doomsday, we still didn’t get a great look at Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Yesterday, during its San Diego Comic-Con panel, the studio released the first fully detailed picture of Doom, and now that its presentation is done and lucky attendees got to see some new Doomsday footage, the toys are officially out of the box.

Hot Toys and Sideshow debuted their Avengers: Doomsday toy line today, and its centerpiece is a hyper-detailed Doctor Doom 1:6th scale figure. Check out an image of the figure, and its wild product description, below:

The Ultimate Version, which includes a “specially designed Sentinel’s hand-themed diorama figure base with LED light-up function” and “one mystery accessory,” can be yours for $390. And if you want Doom’s throne to complete your display, that’ll cost another $210. You can pre-order the Doctor Doom 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure here, and Doom’s Throne here.

The rest of the Hot Toys and Sideshow Avengers: Doomsday line is equally impressive, with Professor X, Magneto ($285 Collector, $390 Deluxe), Cyclops ($285 Standard, $390 Deluxe), Beast, Gambit ($285 Standard, $375 Deluxe, no I will not make a snarky comment about why Gambit’s Deluxe figure is less expensive than the rest), and a Sentinel. Doctor Doom, his Throne, Magneto, Cyclops, and Gambit are all available for pre-order now, while you can sign up for updates on Professor X, Beast, and the Sentinel. Check out images of all of them below.

Hasbro is also launching a Marvel Legends figure collection for Avengers: Doomsday. You can check out exclusive images of those over at People.

Don’t over-inflate: Insulated sleeping pads work by putting air and material between you and the cold ground, but that doesn’t mean you need to inflate it until it’s taut. It varies by pad. I generally find that the best method is to inflate it taut, and then start to let out air, lying down to test it until you get to where it feels comfortable. The downside to this method is that your pad isn’t that thick and you’re more likely to bottom out if you let out too much air. I find this isn’t much of an issue for stomach or back sleepers, but if you’re a side sleeper it might take some time to find the sweet spot between comfort and warmth.

Carry a patch kit: Most sleeping pads these days include a patch kit. I rarely bring these kits and instead carry a small roll of Tenacious Tape ($6), which will solve rips and tears in everything from sleeping pads to tents. Make sure to test a small piece of tape on your pad beforehand to make sure the tape sticks, and bring an alcohol wipe to clean the affected area.

Women need higher R-value pads: Women generally have lower body mass than men, which means women should add roughly 1 R-value to get the same amount of insulation in the same situation. (I also recommend upping the R-value if you’re a cold sleeper in general.)

Sleeping bag ratings assume R5 pads: Most temp ratings you see on sleeping bags are true only if you’re using a sleeping pad with an R-value of 5 or higher (they also assume you’re wearing a base layer). If your pad is less, you will need to adjust your sleeping bag temp rating accordingly. For example, using your 30 degree quilt with a R4 pad will likely leave you cold if you encounter freezing temps. In that situation you’d want to either up the R-value of the pad, or bring a warmer sleeping bag.
