This may be the geekiest and most romantic piece of Star Trek jewelry you can get. It’s perfect for couples or friends. This Live Long and Prosper friendship necklace is cut on a 1966 year quarter, which is when the original series first aired. Now you can each wear the Vulcan salute and be reminded of your friend/significant other.
This is going to be a special treat for Star Trek fans like me who grew up watching the original. To Boldly Go: Rare Photos from the TOS Soundstage gives us a look at many amazing behind the scenes moments from the original show. This book has hundreds of pictures of the sets, models, actors and work that went on behind the scenes.
Below are just a few images, but there are many more. This is going to be an amazing book for your collection.
In space no one can hear you scream… Or in this case squee because you are so excited to have a facehugger in your hair. This little Alien Facehugger Hairclip is pretty cute. It is the perfect accessory for fangirls who love the Alien movies. It measures just over 4″ long and promises not to attack you.
You guys can wear it too because the seller can make these into buttonholes as well. Nothing compliments a suit or Tux quite like a facehugger crawling up your breast. You will be the talk of the event.
Some of you might remember this advertising campaign from 1985 when Japanese electronics company Pioneer hired H.R. Giger for an advertising campaign to promote the company’s new Zone system. They even made a television commercial that features one of Giger’s creatures. There were also two print advertisements.
I don’t know about you, but advertisements that feature Giger’s work certainly get my attention. This will either make you buy a Pioneer product or make you feel terrified. Maybe both.

Have you ever wondered what Terminators would look like as babies? I think we’ve all wondered that from time to time. Well, here ya go. This fun fan art comes from French artist Ronald Bousseau. I think it’s pretty adorable. I also imagine that another terminator is going back through time to stop him from becoming an adult.
It’s a fun piece of art and now it has me wondering what Ronald would do with other sci-fi characters as babies. I hope he explores the idea.
These geek cameo pendants from Enchantalia feature some of our favorite Sci-Fi people and Superheroes. They are a great way to wear your favorite geek character and keep things classy. These images combined with that antiqued frame make these pendants a real winner. You can choose from characters like Robocop, Predator, Catwoman, Boba Fett, Princess Leia and many more.
If I were a woman, I don’t think I could choose just one. They are all awesome. I would have to have a whole collection.
This art series from Kate Dawe is appropriately titled “Pop Eggs”. It takes pop culture characters and throws an egg into the mix. It’s a little odd, but that’s what we like about it. It’s also playful and fun.
The word puns are in full effect in the titles too, like E.T. The Eggstraterrestrial, Jurassegg Park, The Termeggnator and more. If you want to make a pop culture omelette, you have to break a few eggs right? Or at least incorporate eggs into your art. You can check out more in the link above. It’s egg-citing stuff.
The Last Starfighter is one of those classics that holds a special place in my heart. While Alex Rogan was playing the arcade game on screen and getting recruited to fight in a space war, I was one of those real life kids playing the arcade games for real. It was amazing to imagine that one of these games could maybe set me on an epic space adventure.
That’s probably why I love this The Last Starfighter: Xur’s Revenge Art Print so much. Yep, this is pretty much how a sequel poster would look today. We never got a sequel to this gem of a movie, but maybe one day…
You can purchase it here.
Mega Bloks are releasing a bunch of cool Star Trek toys this year. including figures made of bricks that are called Kubros. The first series of Kubros highlight TOS characters. Spock is first. In fact, he is now available to order directly from Mega Bloks’ online shop. So naturally we have some great images of the toy to show off now. It’s a cool idea for a figure.
Over the years Sci-Fi has given us many cool and famous rides. This is by no means a comprehensive series detailing all of them, but Christian Petersen’s art covers some of our favorites. I like the captions he provided under each one. The real question is which would win in a race? Well, that’s obvious.
The TARDIS would almost win, but since that miniature ship is in the Doctor’s bloodstream, it would cause him to pass out, allowing the miniature ship to leave the Doctor, exit the TARDIS and win the race.
