Miniature LEGO Sci-Fi Vehicles

This ongoing LEGO chibi micro contest is fun. Not to mention all kinds of cute and creative. Below are just some of the neat Sci-Fi vehicles that LEGO fanatics have created in chibi style. These are all done in micro scale. Some of the entries get really creative.

I’m always impressed at what people can make with LEGO. You’ll see several famous vehicles that you recognize from TV and movies, just much much smaller and much much cuter. I especially like that Landspeeder.

Haynes Manual Press-Out And Build USS Enterprise

A newly released Star Trek Haynes Manual offers something a little different. The Haynes USS Enterprise Press-Out and Build Manual, is part book, part model kit, all awesome! Inside you will find a cardboard kit that builds a fifty centimeter long model of the original USS Enterprise.

The book itself focuses on all the main starships Enterprise. That’s cool and all, but…You can build the Enterprise! I don’t know about you, but I’m buying this one. One can only hope that they release more ships. I’d like to see a Klingon Bird of Prey and a Miranda Class ship. Check out the videos below to see how the model is built.

Doctor Who Day of the Daleks Gold Edition Dalek Statue

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!

Clever Doctor Who Boxed Papercraft Toys

These clever papercraft toys from Etsy seller Dougy74design are awesome. They even come in their own papercraft boxes. They will cost you just $32. and you can choose from the 4th Doctor, the 10th Doctor, Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Harry potter and more.

I just love the look of these guys and the packaging just seals the deal. I have to get a few of these for my collection before they all sell out. Hopefully the seller will create some more. I would request a Dalek to accompany the good Doctors.

TARDIS Birthday Card Really Is Bigger On The Inside

Behance user Cindy Graf created this excellent TARDIS birthday card. And it really is bigger on the inside. It folds down to 6″ X 9″ and even has a matching envelope with the Doctor and a character that she made. This would be the best birthday card ever. Man, I wish it was my birthday.

Basically this card transforms into the TARDIS, complete with a 10th Doctor, the console room, the pool, the library… It probably even has the eye of harmony in there somewhere too. Way to think outside of the box Cindy. Or did you think inside of the box? Anyway, good job. It’s awesome.

Buck Rogers 1:9 Scale Wave 1 Action Figure Set

Fans of Buck Rogers know that the series doesn’t have as many cool toys as Star Wars, but there are some quality Buck Rogers toys out there, like this Buck Rogers 1:9 Scale Wave 1 Action Figure Set. In this set you get both Buck Rogers and Tigerman. Each 8-inch tall figure includes 2 sets of hands and features 22 points of articulation.

Zica Toys’ Buck Rogers 1:9 Scale Action Figures look damn good. Each figure also has 22 points of articulation. All of the details are perfect as is the retro style. Where were these when I was a kid? At least I can buy them now.

Beautiful Doctor Who Dalek Salt & Pepper Shaker Design

These Doctor Who Dalek salt and pepper shakers are stunning. The design is amazing right down to the packaging which will give you a chuckle when you read, “Pre-filled with genuine Skaro salt” on the side of the box.

Sadly these are just a mock-up, but I would totally buy these shakers. They are a classy and modern way to exterminate your taste buds with some extra seasoning. This set of beautifully designed shakers was created by graphic designer and illustrator Pablo Gelabert. I love these! Now I’m sad I can’t buy them.

Free Enterprise Prototype Figures

Here is a special treat for Star Trek fans. You might remember the movie Free Enterprise from 1999. The film was a comedy focused on a couple of geeks with William Shatner himself as…William Shatner. Well, now they are launching a new pilot based on the film. Check it out on Kickstarter.

One of the rewards for backing the project are these prototype figures from the original movie. Bomber Bill and Beatbox Bill. Awesome. I wish that Shatner had done more movies like this.

Mac & Me Action Figure From Falcon Toys

Fans of the 1988 movie Mac & Me will be delighted to learn that they can now have an action figure based on the alien from the movie. This figure comes from Falcon Toys. If you know the movie, then you already know that it was pretty bad and basically was just riding on the heels of E.T.’s popularity.

Sadly, it is already sold out, but maybe you can find one on Ebay soon. It was limited to just 15 pieces. Each 3″ tall resin piece comes blister-packed and is priced at $65 per. This is a funny collectible from a movie that was just an E.T. Knock-off.
