Death Star Trash Compactor Bookends to Crush Your Prequel DVDs

Mathue Shell — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:20:37 +0000

Okay, so maybe I was pandering to the prequel haters with that title. What can I say? I’m riding shotgun in the bandwagon. I don’t know about you guys, but I could definitely feature this on my DVD shelf. It’s awesome. Whoever came up with the idea is a modern day genius.

They are 6 inches deep, 12 inches Wide and 7.5 inches high, made of high quality poly-stone, and they’re individually hand painted. They also come with a unique number and certificate of authenticity.

Sadly, these bookends are only for pre-order right now. They start shipping in April 2010 according to the website. Right now they’re on sale for $189.99, originally $199.99. Pricey, but a definite must buy if you want to show off your Star Wars DVD collection or book collection with style.

On sale at StarWarsShop.com

Spock Sackboy. Live Long and Crochet.

With all the Sackboy creations so far, it was only a matter of time before a Star Trek got it’s turn. Just in time for the new Star Trek movie hitting theaters on May 8th.

This might be one of the only times you’ll ever see a smile associated with anything related to Spock. As we all know, Spock is a Vulcan, and is driven by logic, not emotion.

This is insane. Behold the Petaminx, a dodecahedral puzzle. This is custom built and contains nearly 1000 moving pieces. It took over 2 months to make, including 20 hours on masters and molds, 12 hours on casting parts, 30 hours on cleaning up parts and sanding, 7 hours assembling, and 6 hours stickering.

Super Collection of Superman Logos

Flickr User fengschwing took out all of his Superman action figures, took pictures of them, and then created this amazing image. Now for a little history of Superman’s “S” Shield:

The Superman logo (aka S shield) is the iconic emblem for the fictional superhero Superman. It is also informally referred to as the “S” shield. As a representation of the first superhero, it served as a template for character design decades after Superman’s first appearance. The tradition of wearing a representative symbol on the chest was mimicked by many subsequent superheroes, including Batman, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Green Lantern, the Flash and many others. – Wikipedia

If you don’t know what Amigurumi is, check out the Wiki.

I think my favorite is Admiral Ackbar, followed closely by Yoda.
