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.

ALIEN 3 Behind the Scenes Video: Bambi Burster Alien

If you enjoyed David Fincher’s Alien 3, you’ll enjoy seeing some more behind the scenes footage of what went in to creating the special effects for the movie. The video below focuses on a baby Alien called the Bambi Burster. It reminds me just how much I love practical effects and I’m glad they seem to be making a comeback with the new Star Wars movie.

The “Bambi Burster” was cut from the film, but this video shows a test of the unfinished puppet. In this case it looks like they were having a hard time getting the movement down. It is awesome that these guys got to play with all of the cool toys back then.

This Futurama Farnsworth Cosplay Is Unbelievable

What can you say but wow? The folks over at Tested created an ultra-realistic mask of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth from Futurama. Every detail is just spot on. The included video shows the process. The end result is a custom-sculpted mask that looks so realistic that it is… Well, a bit terrifying.

The whole process is amazing to watch, even after seeing all of these GIFs in action. Check it out for yourself. I don’t think that anyone can beat this Futurama cosplay. Ever!

Star Wars Christmas Cards

Deviantart user McQuade has several neat Star Wars Christmas cards that are getting us in the mood for a Star Wars Christmas. These colorful and humorous designs will crack you up and make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Even Salacious B. Crumb looks like he’s having a good time. I think my favorite is Luke getting the Wampa action figure and telling the story of his encounter. The artist combines Christmas and Star Wars together perfectly. I may have to go and listen to Christmas In The Stars now.

Elizabethan Style Sci-Fi Characters

Do you prefer your heroes and Sci-Fi characters to have a classical flair? Do you like to watch period pieces that feature the likes of Batman and Darth Vader? If they existed, you would watch it. And so would I? These amazing photographs will give you a taste of what that would be like.

Photographer Sacha Goldberger has put all of our favorites into Elizabethan costumes. Boba Fett, Captain America, Catwoman and plenty of others are all in period dress and posed in the artistic styles of the Dutch Renaissance. Goldberger calls the series “Super Flemish.” We like this one a lot.

Concept Art From Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium

Check out this batch of concept art from writer/director Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium. The story revolves around a factory worker whose destiny is to make his way into a man-made space station that is a utopia. Most of humanity lives on Earth. They are basically the lower class. The Elite live on Elysium, a space-station with all the luxuries and medical technology that are denied the other citizens.

It’s been a while since I saw this one, but the movie had it’s share of brilliant moments. It felt like an old Sci-Fi novel. Seeing this concept art makes me want to watch it all over again.

Cats Replace Sci-Fi and Comic Book Characters In These Colorful Prints

You have to love these colorful and geeky prints from Etsy seller GeekyPet. They replace all of the sci-fi and superhero icons that we love with felines, which in many cases, changes the way you look at these characters. They don’t take themselves too seriously, but all fit in nicely. In fact, it’s scary how well these cats do at replacing our heroes.

These fun and playful prints include Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and many more. Check out the Etsy shop to see them all. Jabba The Cat is probably my favorite.
