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!

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.

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.

Guide To Star Trek Uniforms Infographic

Costumesupercenter created this cool Star Trek infographic that shows the Star Trek uniforms throughout the various TV series and movies. They forgot the Man-Skirt or Skant from The Next Generation premiere Encounter At Farpoint.

It is a handy infographic for those who can’t decide on a Halloween or comic-con costume. I think my favorites have always been the 1960’s uniforms and Kirk and crew’s movie uniforms. The Next Generation uniforms are cool too, if you don’t mind doing the Picard Maneuver.

Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper Helmet Signature Edition

When I was a kid there was nothing better than Battlestar Galactica. I wanted to be a Viper pilot more than anything and fly with Starbuck and Apollo. Well, now I can at least wear the helmet of a Viper pilot. This series-accurate 1:1 scale replica of the Colonial Viper helmet looks amazing.

It is a limited edition, hand signed by both Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. It even has LED lighting effects. This helmet was scanned from an original screen-used helmet and cast from an original piece. It is a limited edition of only 500 pieces. One size fits all. Now I can be the Viper pilot I always wanted to be. This beauty is only $599.99 from Entertainment Earth.

How Star Trek: The Original Series Would Have Looked In Cinematic Widescreen

Can you even imagine what it would have been like if Star Trek: The Original Series had aired in cinematic widescreen? No. No, you can’t imagine the beauty and scope of such a thing. It’s too mindblowing for our brains to handle. It is absolutely gorgeous.

The first Star Trek series aired in the 4×3 aspect television ratio, like the rest of the shows of the era. Sadly, that doesn’t hold up well in our current age of widescreen and HD. So basically, we are missing out. However, one amazing fan, Nick Acosta, has used some HD screen caps to put together some widescreen shots. There is a sampling below. They are simply stunning. Now we just need Star Trek remastered so we can enjoy it in cinematic style.

Star Trek: Voyager – Aeroshuttle Test Footage And Unused Voyager Designs

The Enterprise D had a Captain’s Yacht, and likewise Voyager had an Aeroshuttle. Although we never saw it on screen. It was a small craft attached to the underside of the USS Voyager’s saucer section. It was there the whole time. You can see it attached to the Saucer. It was just never used.

The Delta Flyer basically took over its role. Now we can see the launch sequence thanks to visual effects artist Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz who posted a concept test video of the Aeroshuttle launch. Star Trek designer Rick Sternbach has also been sharing some behind the scenes Voyager stuff lately. A LOT of it. This is because next year is the 20th anniversary of the series. Below you can see some concept art for the Aeroshuttle as well as some earlier concept art for Voyager herself and even a foamcore mockup.

Concept Art From Bryan Singer’s 2001 Battlestar Galactica

Before Ronald D. Moore brought Battlestar Galactica back to life, Bryan Singer almost beat him by a few years. Singer had his new Battlestar Galactica series in development around 2000-2001, but due to the 9/11 tragedy everything stalled and it was sadly never meant to be.

It would have been interesting to see what Singer’s take on the franchise would have been like. We may never be able to see everything, but luckily, we can get some idea, thanks to some concept art that recently appeared online. We can see a more streamlined Viper, some interior sketches of the Galactica and some bulky Cylon designs that look menacing and tough. The art seen here was created by designer Guy Hendrix Dyas. That Viper has some nice curves. Makes me wonder what Galactica herself would have looked like.

A Collection Of Famous Robot Heads

Daniel Nyari put together these awesome illustrations of famous robot heads. How many can you identify? If you are on this site and reading, I am expecting some good scores. You should be able to identity at least 90% of these if you are a true Sci-Fi geek.

Even the Woody Allen robot from Sleeper makes an appearance. If robots really are taking over the world(And we know that they are), we could use more illustrations like this to keep them identified. These heads look great. I would love to see the rest of the robots done in the same style.
