Adorable Clay Doctor Who Figures

These clay Doctor Who figures from Etsy seller eattoast are fairly adorable and they offer all of your favorite characters, mostly villains, from the classic series straight up through new Who. The little boy in the gas mask is even here. “Are you my mummy?”

They stand about 4″ tall and I can only imagine how awesome they would look in a group on your desk or shelf. They are about $20-30 and well worth it for such unique little figures. We picked some of our favorites below.

Celebration Anaheim: Vader Case Project

At Celebration IV in 2007, the original Vader Project had artists decorate and alter full sized Darth Vader helmet replicas. You’ve seen them around and probably marveled at how creative people can get with Darth Vader’s head. Artists turned Vader into a clown, the Statue of Liberty and much more. You can check them out at thevaderproject.com. It’s awesome stuff.

Well, now the Celebration Track has invited artists and collectors to decorate vintage Darth Vader action figure carrying cases. These cases will be shown throughout Celebration Anaheim in the Collector’s Track Social Room. They look amazing. I want to paint my old case now. See some of them below. For more info head here.

Star Wars Mosaics Made With…Staples

We’ve all seen mosaics, whether it be a colorful piece of wall art made from found objects, an intricate portrait made with stone, or just your kitchen tiles. But you have never seen mosaics like this. That Darth Vader mosaic? It is made using over ten thousand multi-colored staples. That takes dedication and patience. And amazing talent. And lots and lots of staples of course.

Painter and print maker James Haggerty’s art project called “The Side” features mosaics of Darth Vader, C-3PO and Greedo, all made of staples. Each mosaic measures about 40 inches x 32inches. The power of his stapler is impressive. Most impressive.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Concept Art Shows Lord Tantalus

Storyboard and concept artist Thomas Nelson updated his website with some storyboards and artwork that he created for Guardians of the Galaxy. One of the characters in this concept art is Lord Tantalus, a character that did not appear in the film. He was originally in the script though.

Gunn was probably saving Lord Tantalus for the sequel since his backstory is fairly complex. Some of the other characters here have similar, but different looks than we saw in the film.

Postcards From Fictional Locations: Gotham, King’s Landing And More

You know, if they made more postcards like this, people might actually use them like they did in the old days. MyPrint247.co.uk designed these cool postcards for fictional places like Mos Eisley, Frozen’s Arendelle, Gotham City and other locales.

The great art and design makes you wish you could visit these places for real and pick up a few postcards as souvenirs while you are on vacation. I would definitely visit Mos Eisley and Gotham City.

Father And Son Build Giant Transformers Out Of Junk Parts

You can have your Michael Bay-directed Transformers. Even though I’m not a fan of the current generation of Transformers movies, I can still appreciate the Transformers themselves. Just like I can certainly appreciate the wonders that this father and son build together. They create huge and amazing Transformers of their own out of junk car parts.

Yu Zhilin and his son are quite the talented pair. They live in the Hunan province of China and have made a business out of building and selling these statues. You can see why. These statues have character and all the right details. They must be a real pain to transport.
