That’s no moon. It’s a lamp! This custom Death Star lamp was made from a globe. It features green light toward the top as if it is powering up to blow up a planet, and a warm glow underneath. The laser can even be positioned in multiple directions or completely removed.
This is going to look awesome in your mancave or Star Wars themed room. Use it’s power responsibly.
You might remember that last year there was a life-sized Groot and Rocket Raccoon from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy that was built entirely out of LEGOs. The thing stood over 7 feet tall and was seen at San Diego Comic Con. Truly a life sized giant tree and raccoon.
Well, the creators, Bright Bricks, recently released a time-lapse video of the creation so we can all see how it was done. These characters took over 30,000 LEGO pieces to make and who know how many hours.
Oh. My. God. I am gonna need a bigger garage if I ever want some Hulkbuster armor this extreme. This life-size Hulkbuster armor was built by a 26-year-old teacher in China named Xing Yile. Awesome stuff like this doesn’t happen overnight. It took two months for him to build this thing. He did have the help of an assistant, but still. This thing is unreal.
It stands 3.4-meters tall and weighs half a ton. They also built a smaller sized Iron Man as a companion piece so you can get an idea of scale I guess. Small Iron Man and gargantuan Hulkbuster armor.

This cardboard Millennium Falcon is a pretty impressive creation. If you have a few hundred cardboard boxes laying around, you might want to build one of your own. Although I doubt it will be as amazingly detailed as Imgur user Thomas Richner‘s creation.
It is a 5ft. long scale model made almost entirely of cardboard, except for a bit of balsa wood along the hull. If that isn’t enough, it even has retractable landing gear and a detachable radar dish. It took Thomas 140 hours of work and as far as I’m concerned it was totally worth it. This thing is amazing. He even took a few shots against a green screen and it actually looks like it belongs in the movies.
These clay Doctor Who figures from Etsy seller eattoast are fairly adorable and they offer all of your favorite characters, mostly villains, from the classic series straight up through new Who. The little boy in the gas mask is even here. “Are you my mummy?”
They stand about 4″ tall and I can only imagine how awesome they would look in a group on your desk or shelf. They are about $20-30 and well worth it for such unique little figures. We picked some of our favorites below.
Sometimes you look at a paper model and it’s easy to admire the fine craftsmanship, and sometimes an artist takes things to a whole new level and you are just blown away. This Millennium Falcon is made almost entirely out of paper. It’s 99% paper and 1% LED lights and fiber optics on the interior. Basically it is a masterpiece of paper engineering and design.
It took Polish artist Bernard Szukiel four years to complete it using photos as reference. His devotion is as inspiring as the finished product. No detail has been missed. It has the LEDs and fiber optics inside, even the scratches on the paint are accurate. Bernard you are a true master craftsman!
Etsy seller Bricknut has some fun and cool LEGO Star Trek figures, just in case you have a LEGO Enterprise bridge that needs to be manned. You can get Riker,Worf, Geordi LaForge and Captain Picard. They are pretty unique and would look great on any geek shelf.
Do yourself a favor and check out his other LEGO figures while you are there. The seller also has several Marvel and DC characters. Hopefully they will add more, because I would love to see what he can do with Doctor Who characters.
These clever papercraft toys from Etsy seller Dougy74design are awesome. They even come in their own papercraft boxes. They will cost you just $32. and you can choose from the 4th Doctor, the 10th Doctor, Princess Leia, Boba Fett, Harry potter and more.
I just love the look of these guys and the packaging just seals the deal. I have to get a few of these for my collection before they all sell out. Hopefully the seller will create some more. I would request a Dalek to accompany the good Doctors.
Etsy seller shankalonian loves taking old computer parts, especially hard drives, and creating amazing starships and other Sci-Fi vehicles. Below are some of the excellent models he has available in his shop.
You’ll see a lot of Star Trek ships like the Enterprise B, a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica, the Babylon 5 space station, the Recognizer from Tron and more. I especially love the Enterprise B. shankalonian has a great eye for detail.
Etsy seller 7CardinalSins creates some really nice custom action figures. Among the best are these fantastic Doctor Who custom figures. In his shop you will find the very nicely detailed TARDIS console seen here, the second Doctor, Omega, a Rutan(Enemy of the mighty Sontarans), a Silurian and even the 10th Doctor done up in the Simpsons style.
They hit all of the right details and would look amazing with all of your other figures. In fact, they might make some of your other figures look a bit shabby. Omega and the Silurian look especially awesome. Just throw your money at them quick before they disappear.
