A world where superheroes evolved to ride around on Vespas? You’re looking at it. These fun illustrations by Istanbul, Turkey based artist Mete Eraydın May even convince you that this is the only mode of transport for comic book heroes.
These colorful rides look pretty sweet. Let’s hope that the villains are sticking to Vespas as well, otherwise our heroes are going to have a hard time catching up.
A rare trailer for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey has surfaced online. The trailer was released about a year before the film opened in 1968. That’s why it has a bunch of concept art and test footage. None of the finished scenes were ready at the time. As you can see that didn’t stop them from promoting the movie so they could get people excited about it.
When we think about Darth Vader, we usually picture him doing something sinister. Like Force Choking someone or blowing up a planet. That’s why it’s so striking and fun to see images like this. This put a smile on my face. This CGI photography is titled Kid Vader. It was a personal project from London based photographer Parker Biley.
Here we see Darth Vader as a young kid, playing with all of his toys. Not sure if he is putting that LEGO Yoda together with the Force, or tearing it down, but I love it.
The land of Ooo is home to all kinds of amazing things. It has creatures that can kill you, creatures that are cute, stuff that will just give you poo brain and of course, all of the lovely Princesses. The ladies of Ooo are pretty special. Just ask the Ice King.
Well, Behance artist Haffi Chan has some awesome illustrations featuring some of Adventure Times leading ladies. These illustrations show Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn and the Flame Princess in a new light. They are absolutely stunning. Lady Rainicorn is the best. Not sure why they are all so sad though.
Critics can complain all they want about how David Lynch’s version of Dune is not a great adaptation, but you know what? I don’t care. The universe that the team created in this film completely captured my imagination when it came out and I enjoyed the hell out of it.
The visuals and atmosphere in this movie are truly magnificent. I can still watch it to this day and see things I didn’t notice the first time. It’s really fun to get a glimpse behind the scenes and to see them building this world.

This replica of the U.S.S. Reliant is insanely detailed and QMX has really outdone themselves this time. This huge Artisan Replica the Miranda class starship from Wrath of Khan just begs to be stared at with your jaw dropping open.
This 1:250 scale ship is 37″ long and over 20″ wide. It has tons of LEDs that light up the nacelles and other windows and even has sound options that recreate the effect of phasers firing. The base even has it’s own lighting to simulate the glow of a Nebula. There are even crew members and shuttles in the Shuttlebay. There will only be 500 ever made. It’s no wonder this beauty will cost us $9,995. You can pre-order it right now from QMX.
Sadly, this auction has closed, though when I looked last night it still had 6 days to go. Someone must have made him a good offer. This custom Robocop VS Terminator T-800 Action Figure will blow you away.
It is hand-painted with 8-bit shading, metallic colors, and lots of amazing detail. He has a removable helmet, an extra set of Endoskeleton hands, and his pistol and battle rifle.
NadyaSonika makes an amazing female version of Cyclops. Now I’m positive that an all female X-Men would be an amazing thing. Not that I ever had any doubt. She has the attitude right, the costume is just right and she’s certainly easy on the eyes.
Add in some killer photography and you have a recipe for Amazing. Even Uncanny. Awesome stuff!

Now here is something that I would have loved to see in the 1989 movie Batman Returns. At some point, the director made a slight change to the script that resulted in this awesome Batman store being cut from the film.
According to 1989 Batman, the original draft of the script had a Batman store in downtown Gotham selling all kinds of Dark Knight goodies. The set designers had already built the store and had it fully stocked before it got the axe. At least we have pictures.

The new modern Daleks are cool, but you can’t beat a Gold Dalek, like the one from the classic Jon Pertwee episode Day of the Daleks. That episode saw the Daleks return after a 5-year absence. Now you can own your own Gold Dalek and the details are perfectly screen accurate. It’s shiny, it’s gold, and it wants to destroy all alien lifeforms.
This Dalek replica is based on the original plans used to build the Dalek featured in the episode. This limited-edition 8 inch statue is priced at $99.99. You can never have too many Daleks. Just ask Davros!
