Wireless chargers seem to be everywhere these days, but none of them have caught our attention until now. VHS Power Idolz is the new retro/nerdy way to charge your smartphone, and we can’t help but want to collect them all!
The wacky and creative team at Numskull are behind these products, which is no surprise as their Jaws Tubbz line is just as awesome too!
Charging mobile devices is bit of a bore but we all do it day in, day out!
Numskull is now making this chore less of a bore with this super fun, collectible series of Power Idolz – wireless charging docks with a retro twist.
They have revealed not one, not two, but three different variants of their Power Idolz, all featuring some of the best selling movies of the past. These Power Idolz pay tribute to iconic movies and video games we all loved back in the day and still love now!
You can choose from Jaws, Ghost Busters and Back To The Future… for now. Numskull often reveal new products for their older product lines, so we could see even more awesome movies come into stock next year.
Each Power Idolz includes USB-C cable for charging from any USB port, and the wireless charger itself which features the VHS box and the characters feet and legs to make it pop on your desk when charging.
At the bottom of each VHS there is a lip that holds the smartphone against the wireless charger within the case. Once added it makes your phone look like it’s straight out of the movie itself!
To indicate if your phone is being charged there is a LED ring at the base that glows blue when not in use, and then amber when it’s charging your phone.
What makes these Power Idolz so great is nott hat fact they look awesome in any movie or games room, but that fact that when not in use, it can be seen as a model or a display piece!
