Executive Replicas have a whole bunch of cool 2001 accessories to go with their Frank Poole action figure. Apparently there’s no Dave Bowman yet, but it better be coming. We’re talking five versions of space suits. There’s white, green, black, violet and blue. I really love what they are doing with this line. Open the pod bay doors and let them into your collection.
Open the pod bay doors HAL… I have some cool new toys being delivered. Medicom has done an outstanding job recreating the spacesuits that Dave Bowman and Frank Poole wore aboard the spaceship Discovery. These 6.2″ action figures are exactly the kind of toys I love. Great looking toys based on great vintage movies. Look at all of that detail.
I have always loved these spacesuits. Each figure comes with alternate hands. You can pre-order them right now from Amiami. I know I’m about to. Don’t tell my wife.

At last you can own your very own monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. And you don’t even need astronauts to dig it up on the moon. It is the perfect nerd desk toy. Especially if you happen to have a few small monkeys to place in front of it. It’s pretty expensive at $700. but hey, it’s not everyday that humanity discovers one of these.
If you’re looking for some colorful decor for your home you can’t go wrong with these Comic Book Pillow Covers. Etsy seller theuniquegeekie has so many unique items in their shop, but their geeky pillows are awesome. Especially the comic book cover pillows covers.
They have so many classic covers from a variety of different titles. I love that Marvel 2001: A Space Odyssey cover below. These are colorful retro reminders of some very amazing issues. These would look great on your couch or bed. They also have these available as wall hangings. Nice!
So many things from 2001: A Space Odyssey are memorable: HAL 9000, The Pod, the Monolith. I have seen this movie about a thousand times and I am still impressed by all of the design work. Another memorable thing is the space suit. I just love how it looks. And the colors too.
Well, now you can own a 1:6 scale replica. The 2001: A Space Odyssey Blue Discovery Astronaut 1:6 Scale Space Suit is highly detailed and a real beauty. I for one, would love to have this displayed on my desk.
Check out this retro alternative art poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space odyssey. It comes from Philippines based artist Dianne Aguas and I just love the design. It looks like one of the computer consoles from the movie, with some of the computer screens and an image of the monolith.
It’s easy to believe that this could be seen displayed in theaters in the 1960s. Sadly, it appears that this poster is not available to purchase, which is a good thing because I don’t have enough room for all of the cool stuff that I want.
These pieces of One Point Perspective art by Italy based Van Orton Design are really colorful and amazing. And very retro. There is so much to love about these.
I could honestly get lost in some of these for hours. Featured are everything from Knight Rider to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I would love these as prints, but at least we get to feast our eyes on them here.
Even though Stanley Kubrick did not exclusively make Sci-Fi films, he did as much as anyone for the genre. More than most in fact. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a masterpiece. So it is no wonder that he is being celebrated at San Francisco’s Spoke Art Gallery.
Check out some of the art that celebrates the great director’s work below. The man continues to inspire all of these years later. These images are amazing. If you are in the area, check out the show and be blown away.

Look at the images below. Do these model of Sci-Fi ships look like paper to you? No way. They look like professional replicas. However, every single one of them is a papercraft creation. They were made by Japanese craftsman uhu02. I am just blown away by the level of detail and the fact that they don’t even look like paper.
He has created an X-Wing, a TIE Interceptor, Viper Mk2, 2001’s Orion and many more! This man is a true artist with paper.
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.
