A new retro cassette ear headband themed to “Guardians of the Galaxy” has made its way to EPCOT in Walt Disney World.
“Guardians of the Galaxy” Retro Cassette Ear Headband – $39.99
We found these ears at Treasures of Xandar, the gift shop for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The center of the headband features a patch of a cassette labeled “Awesome Mix Vol. 1.” The bow is made of a material that looks like the tape inside of a cassette. During the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, main character, Peter Quill, a.k.a Star-Lord, listens to music using a cassette player. The soundtrack to the first film is also titled “Awesome Mix: Vol. 1.”
The color scheme throughout the ears references retro EPCOT Center graphics, a common scheme found in recent “Guardians of the Galaxy” merchandise. We’ve also need Guardians merchandise that parodies the Universe of Energy. On the right ear, there are silhouettes of Guardians members Groot, Drax, Peter Quill, and a female character hidden by the bow, likely Gamora.
On the left ear is the Guardians logo. This ear features the same stars and music notes as the right ear.
The back of the ears continues the stripes and a galactic design, including a small spaceship.
The exterior of the headbands an orange faux leather, and the interior is a velour-like non-slip fabric.
