Earth’s mightiest heroes are here to quench your thirst with these Avengers themed drinks. Sadly we can’t buy these at the store. They are conceptual pieces by Ruben Ruata, who did a fantastic job. I would buy each and every one of these. That is some kick-ass labeling and packaging. I want to know how they taste!
Especially that “Captain 1941”. That has had some serious time to age. I’m also down for a bottle of Asgard beer anytime.
This is the most terrifying cosplay that I have seen all day. Yet beautiful at the same time. This cosplay by Giulietta Zawadzki really captures the terror that the Alien Queen instills in humans. I can appreciate the beauty and the amazing detail in that costume, but I would never ever want to encounter her in real life. That costume just blows my mind.

If you have ever wondered what the Star wars characters do while on vacation, wonder no more. It’s all right here. These are the work of Kyle’s Gallery and they are certainly whimsical. They sure know how to live it up and relax during their downtime.
I never took Boba for a knitting kind of guy. And it’s nice to see C-3PO stopping to smell the roses and Vader having some tea too. You can buy prints from Kyle’s Etsy Shop.
Star Trek 365: The Original Series is the definitive, authorized guide to the Star Trek television series. It first aired from 1966 through 1969 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon after fans brought it back to life. This visual celebration of the original voyages covers the entire series in amazing detail.
It has in-depth commentary, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, and crew. There are also synopses for each of the series’ 79 episodes. The photos alone are worth getting this book for. It’s like a time capsule from the original show. I can’t recommend this one enough.
Kotobukiya has unveiled some new Alien mini figures, in some unexpected poses. How about a Xenomorph in a meditation pose? Or doing a headstand? Yeah, I don’t remember seeing either of those things happen in the movies. How about an alien laying on his stomach with his hands on his chin? There are six different poses in all: hanging, sitting, prone, squat, headstand, and yoga.
You can check out all the poses on their Facebook page. These are weird, but also kind of cool. They have to be good for a laugh if they are on your desk right? They will be available in April of 2016.
There is no end to the geek arguments that you and your friends can have regarding your favorite comic book characters. One of the classics is: Who is better? Superman or Batman? Artist Kerry Callen has created this cool series of art examining that very question.
The artist thought that the best way to determine which hero is better would be to replace them on each other’s comic covers and see how they fare. Sounds reasonable. This should decide once and for all who is better.

Star Wars goes Greek in this cool art series from Travis Durden. The characters of Star wars get mashed up with greek sculptures. To create these classic new sculptures from the old ones, Travis took pictures of statues on display at the Louvres and then asked a 3D modeler to design the heads.
After that he used a retoucher to put the Star wars heads on the bodies. The concept is simple and the end result is stunning. It makes you look at these characters in a whole new light.
OldGlowCandles sells all kinds of handcrafted geek scented candles. Everything from a Twin Peaks candle that smells like a damn fine cup of coffee to a TARDIS candle that smells like Musky smoke and a hint of pine. That’s different than how I thought the TARDIS would smell.
These fun scents are a great gift and great for your home too. Your guests will wonder what that smell is. And you can tell them confidently that, “Oh that’s just Tatooine.”
Pedal cars. Everyone loves them. Even Geek culture icons. This series by Chet Phillips is simply called the “Pedal” series. It features famous geek culture movie characters driving pedal cars that match them. This series is super fun and playful. Below are just some of our favorites. I have to say, I love the sight of Crow T. Robot driving a Tom Servo car.
The best part is that you can buy prints, or a hardbound book with the illustrations from Chet’s Etsy shop.
