I may not understand Furries, but I do understand my generations attraction to the cat people of Thundercats. Colorful, stylish and mostly not lame (I’m looking at you Tigra), the Thundercats are graphic, appealing action stars.

Chelsea Rae of LoveandSandwich has captured this allure perfectly in her Lion-O plush toy. She has done such a fantastic job! I love the detail in the eyes and his gorgeous mane of hair! I would like to see the claw shield added in later versions, but the sword with the Eye of Thundara is pretty great!

I hope this is the beginning of a whole series! Check out Chelsea’s Etsy store for other great plush projects as well (The Nippled Yetis are adorable!).

This dress may have Freezepop reconsidering their “I’m am not your Gameboy” song, because who wouldn’t want to wear this? Beuatifully made by Amber SewOeno, the Nintendo Tube Dress is available in *custom* sizing for only $60! Love it!

Portable gaming = awesome.
Projector gaming = awesome.
Portable Projector gaming = TOTALLY TUBULAR!

The man literally has a projector strapped to his chest! Where would you go play video games in this get up?

This might not look too impressive, until I tell you that it is made of sand, and that a fully grown man squatting on Satan’s shoulder would only come up to the top of it’s head.

This take on Satan was created by Ray Villafane for the 2009 Dante’s Inferno themed Sand Sculpture Festival in Jesolo (Venice) Italy. Besides this monstrosity, Ray has done sculpting work for Sideshow Collectibles, DC Direct, McFarlane Toys, and Bowen Designs. He is also the creator of this well known Predator pumpkin.

To understand the magnitude and detail of this amazing work, please click here to see some detailed photos of the process.

Teehee! Static Cubeecraft figures are fantastic. Dynamic, caught-in-action Street Fighter foldees are even better! I love Ken doing the splits and Ryu performing a hadouken! You can download them by clicking the link in the lower left hand corner of the Street Fighter official site. Enjoy!

I generally don’t expect to see much geekery at my work. So when one of my bosses brought in a quilt his wife had made for their grandchildren and it was this awesome superhero extravaganza, I was completely caught off guard! I held back as he named all the characters he could remember (”Flash Gordon? Flash Man?”) and then I asked if I could take some pictures of it.

Unfortunately, my phone’s camera did a pretty shitty job, but you get the idea of it’s heroicness!

Love love love these plushies from Charlotte BabyLondonStar! She’s got a wide variety of adorableness - from Pokemon to Final Fantasy to Inuyasha! These are just fabulous renditions, so full of personality (even mopey Samus) and the clothes are amazing!

It’s going to be very tempting to order some fav characters when she starts taking submissions again!

Somethings destroy your faith in humanity. Other things restore it.

Angus MacLane’s CubeDudes* give me the ultimate warm fuzzies inside. They are such clever, recognizable recreations of dearly loved characters. I find them to be just delightful! He has a HUGE library including all your favorites from comics, cartoons, television and movies. Please do yourself (and your cold insides) a favor and peruse them all! Or, if you live in Seattle, go see them at Brickcon this weekend!

            

While many people may scorn internet memes, I personally find them hilarious and fascinating. The fact that some guy’s weird video of his cat playing a piano has spawned a video sensation, shirts and now papercraft is awesome. Globalism at its finest.

I am a big fan of all forms of pixel art (perler beads, knitting/crochet, cross stitch and bead loom!). Having seen A LOT of it, I thought, mayhaps, we had sadly reached an end of crafting techniques that could yield a delightfully pixelated design. I was so so wrong.

The piece below was done by David Austin of ChainMailBasket. That beast is 38″ x 45″ and weighs over 16 pounds. That’s a lot considering it’s made of aluminum links!

How long does it take to build something of that magnitude? One and a half years. Now that’s dedication. Click the image for a larger more detailed view!

If I were a dude, I would probably say something like, “These daleks can exterminate me anytime!”, but since I’m not I’m going to just stick with, “What a trio of Hottie McHottersons! I absolutely love that they managed to make adorable dalek costumes while still retaining spot on recognition.

If you need any further reason to love these ladies, they have also cosplayed an all female version of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog!
