Star Wars Magic: The Gathering Cards

Star Wars Magic The Gathering Cards
Fans of Magic: The Gathering are going to love this card set. WhinyTortoise created 285 Star Wars Magic: The Gathering cards and every single one is awesome. I love the artwork more than the art on actual Magic cards.

This deck has it’s own artwork and mechanics based on Star Wars. For instance, the Jedis have a “Meditation” ability, which lets players return cards to their hands. “Repair” allows your droids to cast their cards repeatedly even after leaving play. There are other mechanics aside from those too. If you are interested, there is a print sheet in pdf form. It appears to be fully playable although I doubt it has been play tested. This looks like a fun version of the game.

Functioning Mr. Meeseeks Box From Rick and Morty

Functioning Mr. Meeseeks Box From Rick and Morty
Hi! I’m Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me! Rick and Morty are simply the best. Wanna summon Mr. Meeseeks yourself? Now you can thanks to this Functioning Mr. Meeseeks Box. It’s made of laser cut plywood and hardboard, and painted to look like the box from the show.

It also has a 60mm diameter illuminated arcade button. It plays 11 different Meeseeks audio clips when the button is pressed. You can even add more sounds over USB. Awesome. I have a few jobs for Mr. Meeseeks. And none of them involve fixing my golf swing. Check out the video below. Wubba lubba dub dub!

Batman v Superman Henry Cavill Barbie

Batman v Superman Henry Cavill Barbie
The other day we showed you the new Barbie “dolls” based on Batman v Superman. At the time Batman and Wonder Woman had been unveiled, but not Superman. Well, now we have some images of the Superman version. He’s looking pretty good for a Barbie doll. You can order him here. Looks like they ship on March 1st. I wonder if Mattel is going to be making more superhero dolls after these. I like what they are offering.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom Sankara Stones Replicas

sankara stones
According to legend, five stones were given to Sankara by the Hindu god Shiva on Mount Kalisa, along with the message that he should battle evil with them…Indy certainly battled evil in that movie. Now you can own the three stones from the temple and have them in your own home. These Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom Sankara Stones Replicas look awesome. Any true Indy fan would love to have these displayed over their fireplace. Or anywhere for that matter.

Star Wars Reimagined Makes Star Wars New Again

Marcelo Laborda
Star wars is such a part of our lives and such a part of our culture, that it is hard to see it in a new light. Well, this art manages to make Star wars feel fresh again and that’s no easy feat. A group of artists over on CG+, over the past few months have been submitting some really nice entries in a competition called Star Wars: Reimagined.

Their mission was simply to “to re-imagine your favorite character, creature or vehicle from the Star Wars universe.” Below are just some of our favorites. You can hit up the link to check out more. There were some amazing entries in this competition.

Barbie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batman & Wonder Woman Dolls

A photo posted by TOYSREVIL (@toysrevil) on


A Wonder Woman Barbie doll is expected, but Batman and Superman Barbie dolls? At least they don’t look like Ken. Mattel has announced their Batman and Wonder Woman “Dolls” based on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both are available for pre-order on Amazon right now in fact. You can find Batman here and Wonder Woman here. They both stand 13 inches tall. No Superman yet however. I know the female fans will love that Wonder Woman version. She looks great.

First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys

First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys
I love the style of this First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys. But I’ve always been a fan of the TIE Fighter pilots gear. The AT-AT driver was pretty cool too. This highly-accurate figure is based on the TIE Pilot in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

It has a newly designed glossy black TIE Pilot helmet and armor with life support system, a beautifully tailored flight suit, detailed blaster pistol, and a hexagonal figure stand with the First Order emblem! The First Order sure knows how to make it’s soldiers look good.

Disney Princesses As X-Men

Disney Princesses As X-Men
If you love the X-Men and also love Disney Princesses, but can’t decide which you love more, this is for you. Both have been lovingly mashed up by San Francisco-based artist Diego Gómez. These are just awesome. I can see the potential for an X-Men/Disney crossover. Nah. But this series is fun and beautiful. They make you look at these Princesses in a whole new way.
