Ready are You for the Baby Yoda Hat?
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 23, 2010 in Hobbies and Collections, Star Wars
This young Padawan is too young to know the power of The Force, yet is not too tiny to amuse fanboy and fangurl parents with this Baby Yoda Hat! This charming baby cap was crafted by Demulcent Arts, who is a middle school art teacher that you wish you had a child. Read more… Alien vs. Ninja: Nope I’m Afraid This Isn’t a Fan Video!
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 22, 2010 in Cinema
When I first looked at this very silly low budget trailer for Alien vs. Ninja my first thought was “this isn’t a bad fan video, but they could have spent some more time on the alien!” Little did I realize that this is very much a real film directed by Seiji Chiba. My only major critique is that these are most damn lazy ninjas that I have seen in my entire life — they seem to have a bit too much spare time on their hands to be so caught off guard by a guy in a second rate giger rubber suit.

Recently comic creator Hope Larson, of the tween girl series Chiggers and the romantic Grey Horses, recently released the results of an informal study she conducted with 198 teenage girls and women, all comic readers. The results were interesting and, true to form, many pundits reporting on the finding missed the point entirely. Read more… Red Shirt on the Half Shell!

The sad fate of most red shirts is Star Trek is brutal, but poor Ensign Bernie here has it worse than most Enterprise away teams! Usually a security officer can count on getting killed in a clean manner like a motral but quick and painless phaser wound, but poor Bernie has been turned into a sad version of oysters on the half shell by some Etsy monster that I’m sure we’ll meet in the future. Credit for Ensign Bernie goes to Ory B. Read more… Games that Would Be Ginormous on the Nintendo 3DS

Right on the heels of releasing the new DSi XL, Nintendo made a surprising move: they made the product almost immediately obsolete by announcing the tentatively-named Nintendo 3DS, a portable game console with 3D capabilities– glassesless, no less. The possibilities for such a device are endless, but of course it’s always easier to bring out a new game in an established franchise to launch a console…so here are ten games that absolutely belong on the Nintendo 3DS.

On Sunday the fun will end for Lost fans, although it’s still not too late to enjoy silly fan videos! I have to say that I’ve been very impressed with this show on a number of levels, but what I find interesting is that it shows that broadcast TV isn’t quite dead yet. I’m also love the fact that a show that isn’t a reality TV show could have made it so big. Chewbacca Makes a Cute Little Cyclops
Posted by Michael Pinto on May 21, 2010 in Hobbies and Collections, Star Wars
Even though he’s reffered to a walking rug there’s always been something so charming about Chewie: I think it’s because Wookies remind us a bit of doggies (it’s the nose I tell you!). So you’d think that by making him a cyclops that Chewbacca wouldn’t have any appeal — yet this adorable Chewbacca the Timid Monster proves otherwise. Standing at only 1.5” tall this little guy designed by TrishCzech won me over. Read more… Partying Cosplay Style at the Japan Society

This beautiful series of pop art comic book inspired headbands is designed by Janine Basil. She specializes in making a wide range of hats in her London flat, although both the Batman and Roy Lichtenstein fanboy in me found this series to have the most POW!

Posted by Tim Sheehy on May 20, 2010 in Hobbies and Collections, Star Wars
This is yet another example of why I love The Empire Strikes Back so much. I’d point out how Shakespearean the film was — being a tragedy and all – but plot aside, it’s inspired so many awesome products. Take this amazing backpack for example. Sure it was sad to see C-3PO strapped to Chewbacca’s back, but whoever thought to turn him into a portable storage device was a genius. The backpack actually comes with light up eyes and the ability to reassemble the droid, should you feel the need. Read more… |
