Gal Gadot Wonder Woman Barbie

Gal Gadot Wonder Woman Barbie
As a nerd, I appreciate well designed toys. Especially since we’ve all seen our share of bad ones. I even love stuff that I would never play with. Like this Wonder Woman Barbie based on Gal Gadot. I just don’t make a habit of playing with dolls. Sorry.

But if I did, I would pick this one up. She has some nice upgrades from her previous version, like a royal blue, gold lamé lined hooded cape, a paneled skirt, and a metallic red bustier. It’s all in the details and they really nailed it here. She also has an updated hairstyle and a cool gold shield. I hope lots of little girls get this one and have fun.

The Force Awakens Soundtrack on Vinyl Has Spinning Holograms

The Force Awakens Soundtrack on Vinyl Has Spinning Holograms
Holograms are the preferred method of communication in the Star Wars universe. At least as far as Sith are concerned. However, here on Earth, we are still blown away by such technology. Especially when the hologram is part of an awesome collectible. Walt Disney Records will be releasing a new hologram vinyl version of the soundtrack for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

This two LP set features liner notes by J.J. Abrams and a 16-page booklet on 180 gram vinyl. This best part is that it offers a 3D hologram featuring the Millennium Falcon on Disc 1/Side B and a TIE Fighter on Disc 2/Side B.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy “Don’t Panic” Bath Towel

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Don't Panic Bath Towel
Whatever you do, don’t panic! Anyway, there’s no need to panic when you have your trusty towel with you. I don’t know about you, but I never travel without my The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy “Don’t Panic” Bath Towel.

“A towel is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.”

Now you can have a 100% cotton bath towel featuring the words “Don’t Panic”. Just in case you should forget. It’s a good reminder.

Doctor Who: 12th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

Doctor Who 12th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver
At last we can own the 12th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. I have to say that this is my favorite sonic in years. I liked 11’s but it just always seemed too bulky and busy. Whereas 10’s was way too plain. This one is just right.

It will be released in mid June, but you can pre-order it now. This replica features static, flashing & chase light modes as well as four sound FX. It lights up blue and green and those lights rotate like the on screen version. I just love the color they choose too. I’ll be getting one of these for sure. One day they will make one that actually opens doors.

Star Wars Scoundrel and Princess Mug Set

Star Wars Scoundrel and Princess Mug Set
This Star Wars Scoundrel and Princess Mug Set is the perfect gift for any geek couple. You each get your own awesome mug. Han for him and Leia for her. A scoundrel and a Princess. I can think of several couples who would love this mug set. Each mug holds 11 ounces and has a glossy finish. The seller says that the text and image on each mug is very sharp, since they don’t allow poor quality mugs to leave the shop. These mugs are indeed awesome.
