Atypyk Hand Of God kite

Looking for something to do this weekend? Well, if you fancy a cheap and retro day out, go and buy a kite, then head to your local park and fly the thing. All the better if you can grab hold of something as cool as the Hand Of God kite.

A great piece of kite design, featuring a pop art-style pointed finger, allowing you to put the fear of God into passing strangers as your 'hand' swoops down on them.

But there is a downside to this plan. The kite is designed by Atypyk and is displayed on its website - but is not yet for sale. Keep an eye on the site though, it should be up for sale soon and judging by previous products, shouldn't cost the earth.
