Star Trek LEGO Figures

Etsy seller Bricknut has some fun and cool LEGO Star Trek figures, just in case you have a LEGO Enterprise bridge that needs to be manned. You can get Riker,Worf, Geordi LaForge and Captain Picard. They are pretty unique and would look great on any geek shelf.

Do yourself a favor and check out his other LEGO figures while you are there. The seller also has several Marvel and DC characters. Hopefully they will add more, because I would love to see what he can do with Doctor Who characters.

Hero-Glyphics Hieroglyph Style Art

If the ancient Egyptians worshiped Comic Book characters and Sc-Fi icons the way we do, this is exactly what their tombs would look like. Illustrator Josh Ln created this series of geeky hieroglyph style art and very appropriately calls it “Hero-glyphics”.

Best of all, you don’t need to be an Indiana Jones type to decipher them. I mean it’s pretty obvious that Han shot first and that Kirk battled the Gorn. If you like what you see, you can even buy prints from his Society6 store.

Lovely Bamboo Star Trek Coasters And Cutting Board

You don’t see too many quality Star Trek items for the kitchen, but Etsy seller BlueFireEngraving offers a really cool cutting board and some coaster sets. The coaster sets feature images of the history of the USS Enterprise. They are made of bamboo and you get 6 coasters.

The cutting board also shows the history of our favorite starship. Just don’t get too absorbed in the various Enterprise ships while you are chopping vegetables. You don’t want to cut yourself.

Star Wars III: Behind The Scenes Photos

If you are a fan of the Star Wars prequels, check out these fascinating and not-so-often-seen behind the scenes photos. Even if you hate the prequels, you can’t help but respect all of the hard work that went on behind the scenes of this final installment.

Yes it had a ton of CGI, but this movie also had some massive sets and a ton of prop work and models as can be seen in some of the images below.

See the full gallery here, along with some amazing concept art.

Bikini Boba Fett Cosplay

This is how I imagine female Mandalorians spending their time on vacation, soaking up the sun and laying on the beach wearing a bikini and a helmet. Not that I’ve given it a ton of thought, mind you, but I’m only human. And a geek.

Anyway, Sandra Memma looks amazing in this Boba Fett bikini Star Wars photoshoot. I really like all of the little details like the Mandalorian tattoo the Wookie braids. The photographer was Sergio Ortega.

Amazing Sci-Fi Ship Replicas Made Using Just Paper

Look at the images below. Do these model of Sci-Fi ships look like paper to you? No way. They look like professional replicas. However, every single one of them is a papercraft creation. They were made by Japanese craftsman uhu02. I am just blown away by the level of detail and the fact that they don’t even look like paper.

He has created an X-Wing, a TIE Interceptor, Viper Mk2, 2001’s Orion and many more! This man is a true artist with paper.

Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue

The latest toy to take our money is this awesome Aliens Power Loader 33-Inch Statue. Not that we are complaining. Hollywood Collectibles has gone all out on this thing. The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader was used by Ripley to defeat the Alien Queen! This statue was recreated from the original blueprints and you can see for yourself that no detail was spared.

It’s exactly the same size as the model used for filming the movie. That would be an impressive 33-inches tall x 25-inches wide. It has a webbing operator harness made of real material, a working light-up hazard light on top, and an accurate weathered finish. The detail is pretty stunning. This is a must for fans of the Alien franchise. A quality statue like this doesn’t come cheap. It is priced at $1,199.99.

52 Years Of Spider-Man’s Mask

Everybody knows Spider-Man and we usually associate him with the classic red and blue costume with the webbing. But fans know that Spidey’s outfit has gone through some changes over the years. Some are good, others are, well, maybe best forgotten.

This compilation of Spidey’s costumes over the years comes from artist Salvador Anguiano. If you want this as a poster, he has a limited run available for sale here. We tend to think that heroes stay the same, but most of them have changed a lot over the years.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter Crashes On German Highway

A motorist driving in Germany spotted this Tie Fighter with debris all across the highway, while two Stormtroopers stand guard and wait to be picked up. I told all of my friends that Star Wars was real, but they didn’t believe me. Now I have proof! How did they tow that thing away?

The footage was presumably created by a fan of the show and the clip was posted on the Facebook page of the Dein Sky Fim channel. It has proved to be quiet a hit, and has already amassed an astronomic amount of views, in excess of seven million.

What Back To The Future II Got Right And Wrong About 2015

Well, it’s 2015 so let’s see what Back To The Future 2 got right about the once future year that we are living in. Luckily for us, the folks at Stay Sourced have created this awesome infographic so that we can see how well the movie predicted the world as it is today.

I know one thing. We still don’t have any time traveling cars and the flux capacitor hasn’t been invented yet. Wait. Maybe that means the timeline has been changed! And Doc Brown never hit his head on the toilet! Great Scott!
