Hasta La Gadget!

When you don’t have a TARDIS with which to travel through time and space, the next best thing might be a TARDIS shaped blanket. Instead of walking into the TARDIS and hitting some controls, you can just get in and pull this blanket over your head and let your dreams take you to distant alien worlds for adventure.

This blanket was made by Kristi from RainyMondayTumblr. It’s over 7.5-feet-long and has some nice extra touches. The windows and light glow in the dark, and the light itself was made with sparkly fabric. This thing took about two months to make.

The person who received this blanket is one lucky so and so. I wish I could sleep in it. With Amy Pond preferably.

We would all love to have full sized AT-ST models guarding our front yards (or at least for our cats), but sadly that is beyond reach for most of us. At least you can make some mini AT-ST models from popsicle sticks.

These “chicken walkers” proved a challlenge to build compared with other projects because of the two skinny mechanical legs that they balance on. So there may be some difficulty here, but nothing that you can’t overcome. All you need is a few tools, popsicle sticks and some glue and Instructables will show you how to create these mini Imperial vehicles after you finish your frozen treats.

Don’t let tiny Ewoks anywhere near them though. It just takes a pair of smart Ewoks and some logs to really mess up an AT-ST’s day and smash it’s head in.

We all have our favorite Avengers. Personally, I’ve always liked Iron Man and Thor the best, but after Mark Ruffalo’s take on the green guy this past summer, I’m beginning to like the Hulk again too. Well regardless of which Avenger is your favorite, we can all agree that owls are pretty awesome creatures. So what could be better than Avengers owls?

Artist Morgan Chambers makes cool stuffed owls based on pop culture figures, among them The Avengers. These 7-inch-tall plush superheroes are handmade using eco-felt, and ready to take on all villains who dare to come their way. Okay, so them may not have any actual superpowers, but they will kill them with cuteness – one of the most dastardly weapons known to villainkind.

Oh, and if you’re feeing villainous, you can always go for the Loki owl.

For $35(USD) you can get a single plush owl, or for $95, you can pick your favorite three , and Morgan will make them for you. Since they are handmade, you’ll have to wait about a week per plush for them to be made, but the end result will be worth it. Just tell those supervillains they have to wait.

Retro gamers looking for a way to keep their beer and sody pop nice and cool should look no further than this fun can cozy designed to look like Pooka, the inflatable round nemesis of Dig Dug.

It’s just one of many fun can, bottle and coffee cup cozies over at Crochet Cozies’ Etsy shop, where you can also find such masterpieces as the LEGO Minifig and the epic Where’s Waldo beer cozy.

The Pooka can cozy will set you back $38(USD), and is guaranteed not to explode – unless you connect a compressed air hose to the can. Then all bets are off.

Gamers looking to increase their street cred should feel comfortable wearing their favorite gaming icons with pride. But if you’re not ready to wear something too over-the-top, then check out these sweet Converse Chuck Taylors, covered with hand-knit gamer designs.

They’re made by Katie of PrettySneaky, and they’re available in a variety of cool pixelated styles. Current designs include Super Mario, Minecraft creeper, Final Fantasy and the previously featured Mega Man patterns – all of which look great.

Though I might not want to wear creepers on my feet, for fear that they might attack me and explode or something.

Each pair is custom made, and can be ordered in any size. They sell for $130(USD) a pair, and you need them on your feet – now. Be sure to check out more of Katie’s cool and geeky designs over at her Etsy shop.
