Artist Carlos Fabián Villa is creating an X-Men character series that is inspired by the classic 1990 animated series. He has finished Rogue, Jean Grey, Sabertooth, and Cyclops. Check out the included gifs for each one which shows the process of his work from the first sketch to the finished product. I like these a lot as have fond memories of that animated X-show. I hope he does a bunch more.

Miniature LEGO Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica Ships! Aren’t they cute? You see LEGO, it wouldn’t take much to start producing small sci-fi themed sets that geeks like me would actually buy. Package a few mini ships together like these and I’m all over them. These were created by Sparkart who makes all kinds of cool LEGO creations.
These cool Star Wars 3D Blueprint Deco Lamps from GeekyGet are amazing. They are neon beacons of light to illuminate your darkened geek abode. They have the Millennium Falcon, the Death Star, Darth Vader, BB-8, an AT-AT and more. I would put one in every room if I could. These lamps bring the characters and vehicles to life in full 3D.
Fritz Lang’s Metropolis comes to life on this awesome retro Metropolis Necklace. It features the image of the Metropolis movie poster in an oil painting style. Now you can wear your love for this classic around your neck and show everyone how much you love it.
Star Trek fans might remember back in the early days of the original series when Leonard Nimoy celebrated the success of the show by buying a Buick Riviera. There’s a famous picture of Nimoy leaning against the car on the studio backlot. Well, this scene is now a new Hot Wheels toy created to celebrate Star Trek’s 50th anniversary.
It will be available soon from MattyCollector.com for $20. You don’t see this kind of collectible everyday. Leonard Nimoy. Dressed as Spock. Leaning against his new car. On the studio backlot. It’s weird, but I like it.

French illustrator and paper artist Romann Grelott created this spectacular Papercut art featuring an X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon. First he draws the ship out on paper and then cuts out all of the excess areas. The result are starships that are beautiful as lace. It sounds like he plans to add more ships to this series and I can’t wait to see them.
This unique and fun series of oil paintings are from artist Andreas Englund. They feature an aging superhero who continues to fight crime and kick serious butt. It’s kind of nice to see a hero who isn’t young and in his prime. It’s a good reminder that the real heroes are the ones you would never expect.
They really served up the ultimate geek trifecta with this stained glass inspired piece of art. Shaped like the triforce from Legend of Zelda, this illustration features a trio of nerdiness. Star Wars, Legend of Zelda and Lord of the Rings. It is the work of Brazilian artist Vinícius Cavalcanti Marques. Show of hands, how many of you grew up with this trinity of awesomeness?
Mattel has announced a new line of Star Trek Barbies. These are due to arrive in June and the characters are Uhura, Kirk, and Spock. Amazon has Kirk and Spock right now, but no listing for Uhura. However, you can get all 3 in a set. Uhura looks absolutely lovely and makes a perfect Barbie doll. I assume they will release more characters as well as a scale bridge set since we can see it in some of these images.
We’ve seen Encho Enchev’s work before and always blows us away. This concept for Captain America’s Bike is no exception. There are a few different versions here. I think I like the retro military one the best. I can see the Cap riding around on any of these. America’s favorite hero needs a good ride.
