When I saw the 'X-Men #1 Toilet,' I almost flipped. This whole toilet is covered in X-Men comics. I was a huge fan of the cartoon series, and watched it every Saturday morning as a kid.
X-Men is the best-selling comic of all time, so this amazing toilet design was bound to happen sooner or later. The 'X-Men #1 Toilet' took 80 hours to complete. After all, cutting out pictures and gluing them one by one takes a long time.
