The Geek Armory makes custom Sci-Fi ships that look stunning. And that’s an understatement. These ships are going to look awesome no matter where you display them. Many of them start out as the bland toys that we all know and love, but they soon get customized into props that would look great on screen as well as in your home or office.

They have everything from the Star wars CR90 corvette to Batman’s tumbler.All of the ships you see here are under $90. They also make all kinds of blaster and gun replicas.

Amazing Animatronic Of Yul Brynner As The Gunslinger From Westworld

animatronic of Yul Brynner as the Gunslinger 2

Fans of Michael Crichton‘s 1973 science fiction western-thriller WestWorld are going to love this. It is a very life-like silicone robotic version of Yul Brynner as the Gunslinger from the film. It is so real it is terrifying. This crazy robot was made by sculptor Nick Marra of Nick Marra Studios.

Check out the video below for more detail about how it was created. When they make a new movie, this is a great way to include Yul Brynner, even if it is just for a short cameo. This thing is unreal!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens BB-8 Droid Demo


Everyone thought that the BB-8 droid seen in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer was CGI, but as it turns out, it is not CGI at all. They proved it during Star Wars Celebration with this live demo. I don’t think anyone saw this coming.

The BB-8 effects are very practical. I still think it looks a bit too “pixar”, but I have to admit, this little droid is growing on me. The real question is, how on Earth did they pull it off? I guess we will find out soon.

Han Solo DL-44 Blaster Prop Replica

If you fancy yourself smuggler enough to wield this Han Solo Blaster prop replica, you better live up to Han Solo himself and not let Greedo shoot first. This is a super nice replica with intricate details you’d expect in a more expensive piece.

I have seen a ton of fan-made blasters, but this one is a true gem. It is perfect for cosplay or just to hang on the mantle. This one is a steal at $149. from JohnsonArmsProps.

Behind The Scenes Look At Star Trek’s Enterprise-E, Argo, Scorpion And More

If you are a fan of the USS Enterprise E, you were likely very disappointed that after it’s debut in First Contact, the model was never seen on-screen again, since at that point the films went fully CGI. Well if you want to see the model in glorious detail, you can thanks to Prop Store. It was photographed by one of the ILM crew members.

Below you will also see some other TNG movie era behind the scenes stuff. You likely have never seen the ship quite like this. The model is exquisitely detailed and I have to say I have a whole new appreciation for this ship. It’s never been one of my favorite ships, but here I can see that she really is quite lovely.

Bicentennial Man Robotics Effects Images

The images below are from Dave Barkovitz’s Flickr stream. Dave Barkovitz was a fabricator on the movie for Steve Johnson’s XFX, Inc. I love this movie. It holds a special place in my heart. It manages to capture that certain something from Asimov’s robot books and Andrew Martin was played perfectly by Robin Williams.

An incredible amount of detail went into Andrew’s robot body, as seen in these images. I really love the style they went for. Not too over the top. Minimal in many respects, but with some amazing details, especially on the inside of the body that makes it real to the viewer.

Full Size Silicone Bishop Replica From Aliens

Fans of the Aliens Franchise will want to save up some money, because this Full Size Silicone Bishop Replica From Aliens is pretty awesome. Gross, but awesome. From what I remember of that scene, this replica looks dead on. Who could forget Lance Henriksen right after being ripped apart by the Queen Alien? The body is made of fiberglass while the head and arms are made from high end FX quality silicone.

The eyes are even matched to Lance’s eye color. The hair too. It will cost you $3,000. and for what it’s worth, Lance Henriksen himself seems to approve. The artist who created this piece displayed the initial version at a show called Monsterpalooza in 2014 where Lance was in attendance. You can see him posing with it in the last picture.

Anovos Enterprise Uniform Replicas

Anovos has announced a new line of Star Trek: Enterprise uniform replicas. As usual, the quality looks outstanding whether you fancy yourself an Archer or a Tucker. This replica jumpsuit uniform should arrive next September and it is based on the screen-used jumpsuits, with no detail overlooked. It features details like several bespoke zips, the department pipping which is available in all three colors, and an Enterprise NX-01 mission patch. The color is the bluer shade seen in the last two seasons, not the lighter color from season one.

If your pre-order gets in first, you’ll get a reduced price, so depending on how fast you order, you’ll get prices ranging from the already sold-out first tier, at $375, up to the final price of $500. Sold separately, you can also get a set of Enterprise rank pips to complete the uniform. These uniforms look awesome.

Alien Space Jockey Maquette Now Available For Pre-Order

Sideshow Collectibles makes some great Alien figures, but this latest announcement is for one of the coolest Alien collectibles ever. The Alien Space Jockey Alien Maquette is arriving in late 2015/early 2016 and boy is it beautiful.

It measures 21″ H x 18″ W x 23″ L and is based on the character in Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien. Take a look at some of the images. The detail on this thing will blow you away. Totally worth the $599.99 asking price.

Long before Prometheus uncovered the origins of the Engineer and his species, the mysterious ‘Space Jockey’ captured the imaginations of movie-goers around the globe. First encountered by the doomed crew of the ship Nostromo, the haunting discovery of the enormous lonely star gazer remains one of the most memorable moments in the Alien franchise. Based on the iconic bio-organic industrial designs of Swiss artist H. R. Giger, Sideshow’s artists have faithfully captured every detail of the fossilized sentinel, a tragic traveler who fell victim to his own lethal cargo and was forever frozen, trapped in time and space.

Star Wars Death Star 1:1 Prop Replica For Your Desk

This is no desk toy. This is the mother of all desk toys. This 1:1 Death Star replica is probably the best Death Star you can buy for your home. It was made by Etsy seller iscreamcandy and has a circumference of 50cm and is made from polystyrene, acrylic paint, silicone and plastic. If only I had a place to put a Death Star right now. This thing is awesome.

All windows are hand punched and movie accurate, and even light up with LED lights. The detail is super nice. Vader and Emperor Palpatine would be proud.
