We’ve seen our share of LEGO creations, including LEGO Star Wars characters, but Luc Byard’s Han Solo and Princess Leia are pretty darn adorable for a pair of blockheads. The level of detail that he was able to get is really impressive. Even their guns are awesome. He plans on making more, so we will have to stay tuned and see if they are as cute as this pair.
Albert Nguyen has reimagined Star Wars, by merging it with history from our own galaxy. He uses historical paintings for inspiration and places Star Wars characters within them. You might recognize Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware, or the historic photo Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima photographed by Joe Rosenthal.
It is a fun series that lets us see these characters in a whole new light. Many of them are made to look like old personal photographs. Also included is Boba Fett in place of Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

No matter what your political views are, I think we can all agree on one thing: World leaders are way better as Transformers. Here’s proof. Azerbaijani based digital artist Gunduz Aghayev created this unique series, turning well known leaders into Transformers. These robots are hardly in disguise and if I’m honest, all politicians are Decepticons rather than Autobots. This is a fun series.

We all know the iconic poster for Back To The Future that shows Marty and Doc with the Delorean, but there was another poster that you may not know about that was almost used instead. This unused poster concept recently came to light after a former employee at Lonsdale Advertising in England found it in their collection.
Now it is headed to auction. This is an awesome poster, but I’m glad they went with the other one. The retro 50s element of the first movie would have been the focus here. It works, but it is not nearly as dramatic.
Attention Doctor Who fans who are looking for a new purse. This is it. Why wear just any old purse when you can wear a Dalek? This cool figural Dalek purse won’t try to exterminate everyone you come into contact with, but it will look amazing, no matter where you find yourself in time and space. No one else will have a purse quite like it.
It has room enough to carry all of your things and is made with quality construction. This is a purse that you will want to use forever and display.
As part of next year’s celebrations honoring the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek, the United States Postal Service will be offering four Star Trek themed postage stamps.
In 2016 the USPS will offer a set of four special stamps from the Final Frontier. Some of you might remember the first Star Trek postage stamp, worth 33 cents, which was released in September of 1999 for the USPS’s “Celebrate the Century” initiative. It will be nice to have some Star Trek stamps to stick on the corners of our envelopes once again. These new ones look pretty awesome. If you still use stamps, you’ll want to get some of these.

You really can’t go wrong with a 3 foot tall AT-AT bookshelf. It’s the perfect place for your Star Wars books, DVDs and action figures. I would love to have this displayed in my house. Even if you don’t use it for storage, it is just awesome to have an AT-AT bookshelf.
Do you think this was the Empire’s attempt at a bookmobile? I mean this thing would hold, what, about a trillion books? Probably not. But that would be soooo cool.
Power Rangers fans should already know that Lionsgate has been developing a new Power Rangers movie with Saban Entertainment. It will be directed by Dean Israelite. One of the other directors who didn’t get the green light worked with conceptual artists Alex Ruiz and Gregory Semkow. This is some of what they came up with. It is unique and not at all what you might expect. These images are phenomenal. There are images of The Control Room, Alpha, T-Rex Zord, Zordon, and Rita Repulsa.
Ruiz says:
“This is some concept art I made for a director who was pitching his film version of Power Rangers. If you guys remember someone made an amazing PR fan film this year, which lit the fire under many asses to get a full on Hollywood film made. So, many a director jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately our guy didn’t get it, it went to another director. Such is the nature of the film business.”
How much do you want to bet that the movie we get is not nearly as cool as this concept art. Sad, but it will probably be true.

This detailed candle replica of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man has a tasty marshmallow scent that you will enjoy and don’t worry, he won’t rampage through your city or even your house. He will be too busy making your room smell nice as he slowly burns down. He’s wearing his classic sailor outfit.
Sometimes you can’t help it… it just pops in there when you try to think of the most harmless thing. That’s when Mr. Stay Puft arrives. Only this time he’s harmless. Adorable in fact. I’m pretty sure nothing could go wrong. Just don’t think about him being like a hundred feet tall.
These LEGO portraits of Xenomorphs and Predators are fun yet terrifying. Also awesome. They capture each creature perfectly using only LEGO bricks. These 3D portraits were created by New Zealand-based LEGO enthusiast Grantmasters. Some of you may recognize the Alien portrait, which was inspired by the original cover for the Alien: Weyland-Yutani Report Collectors’ Edition book.
I would hang these on my wall, but I’m not sure they would stay. They are just too scary despite being made of LEGO.
