The Minecraft Creeper Backpack Celebrates the Addictive Construction Game
Michael Hines — December 8, 2013 — Life-Stages
It shouldn't take long for gamers to recognize the Minecraft Creeper Backpack. The relatively simple game has taken over the world, more or less, over the course of its short existence and has spawned a slew of tribute items, including a bottle opener, cookie jar and even jewelry. Now, ThinkGeek has created an officially licensed backpack inspired by one of the enemies in the game, the creeper.
The creeper sneaks up behind players when it's attacking, so it's only fitting that any product inspired by it would be something that is worn on your back. The Minecraft Creeper Backpack has nine storage pockets, in honor of the game's nine hot keys, and has an 8-bit illustration of the monster. The Minecraft Creeper Backpack is on sale now and goes for $59.99.
