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.

Buck Rogers In The 25th Century Twiki Robot 1:1 Scale Replica

I’m a big fan of Sci-Fi robots in general, but Twiki from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century has always had a special place in my heart. Behold the 1:1 Scale Replica of Buck’s little buddy. Sadly Dr. Theopolis is not with him, but that’s okay. All of the details are spot on. Besides, the creators are working on a version of him as well, so one day you can reunite them.

This replica is made from hand-cast urethane resin, with some nice looking stainless steel trim pieces and the head is even removable so you can position it how you like. He stands 48-inches tall and weighs in at 45 pounds! If that isn’t enough, this masterpiece also has a laser engraved and hand-numbered base plate. This limited edition collectible is must-have for Buck Rogers fans! Resident Dreamer Studios oversaw the creation of this replica, making it from available reference photos, screenshots, and measurements from Felix Silla’s screen worn costumes. This is as accurate as it is going to get.

This Is What The Edge Of Tomorrow Aliens Could’ve Looked Like

Check out this Edge of Tomorrow concept art from production designer Oliver Scholl. His art department created these for the film. Here we get to see how different the aliens (mimics) might have looked. I like both versions and wouldn’t want to go up against any of them, time loop or no.

There are also some art pieces that show off the evolution of the exo-suit. The artwork here was created by Steve Burg, Tani Kunitake, Ed Natividad, Jeff Julian, Harald Belke and others. Live. Die. Repeat.

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.

Concept Art For Paramount London’s Star Trek Attraction

Paramount is working on several attractions around the world, and many will include Star Trek elements. Paramount London is in a consultation phase right now before work starts in full force, with a target of a 2020 opening. We have some intriguing new concept art for the park, including a Star Trek themed Starfleet Command zone that looks pretty stunning.

The Starfleet Command zone will be joined by Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, Cartoon Circus, Action Square, Port Paramount, and Entertainment City. Obviously the best attraction will be the Starfleet Command Zone and the concept art for it certainly looks bold.

Magnificent Mandalorian Cosplay

Kimette and Jef do a great job cosplaying as a magnificent Mandalorian duo. I wouldn’t want to run into this pair in a dark alley somewhere on the edge of the Empire with no back up. I can see these two having their own show, where they get into trouble every week.

Love that armor! And that ponytail protruding from the helmet too. The photographer really created an amazing atmosphere too. Love it!

IKEA Assembly Instructions for Creating Iconic Movie Monsters

Illustrator and cartoonist Ed Harrington has a great sense of humor. He created a funny and clever collection of IKEA assembly instructions that don’t make cabinets, but instead tell you how to make classic movie monsters like a Xenomorph from the Alien movies, Pinhead from Hellraiser and more.

You can find more on his Harrington’s Tumblr blog. Awesome stuff.

Star Wars Imperial Propaganda Posters

The Empire wants you to join the fight and crush the rebel resistance. So naturally they are using propaganda to recruit new soldiers. These posters come from the beautiful Star Wars: Imperial Handbook Deluxe Edition, which is on sale now.

Here’s the official description:

The Empire has taken hold of the galaxy. Soon, with the completion of the Death Star, its control will be absolute. In preparation for this Imperial expansion, high-ranking officials from each branch of the Imperial military have set down tactical guidelines and procedures as well as collected mission reports and classified documents for all newly ascending commanders. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, members of the Rebel Alliance intercepted this top-secret instructional manual and have circulated it among their own commanders, who have added notes and commentary in the margins.

Charming Doctor Who GIFs

These charming and whimsical Doctor Who GIFs from all 12 Doctors(Sorry once again War Doctor, but you have been left out) come from Beijing, China based artist Mengying Wang.

They are simple and adorable. Scrolling through them all is almost like seeing these versions have mini existences and watching them regenerate one after the other. On a side note, please give love to the War Doctor people! He is every bit as important as the others.
