Hasta La Gadget!

Crochet. The final frontier… Do you like the logical side of Spock, but also want him to have a softer side? Well, this Spock/Minion amigurumi is the perfect new member of your crew if you have a spot open on your bridge.

Is it Spock looking like a minion or a minion looking like Spock? I have no idea. I just know that he is adorable. This cute little Vulcan hybrid comes from Etsy artist Kutuleras and you can get him for just about $31(USD) from their Etsy shop.

He is 12.5 inches tall and the glasses are even removable. Now you can have a Vulcan/Minion aboard your starship for the first time in the Federation’s history.

While you’re over there, be sure to check out their Captain Picard minion. Make it so!

As the Starks used to say “Winter is Coming!” so you’d better start thinking about how you’re going to keep warm when Fall is over. You could freeze your bippy off, or you could cover it up with a ghost from Pac-Man.

These handmade crocheted blankets from AtomicBits are just the thing to give you a little added warmth as you cozy up on the couch in front of your shiny new PS4 or XBone this holiday season.

At a little over 2-feet-square, they’re actually a better size for a baby blanket, but you get the point. They still will look cool thrown on your bed or couch. Each one is made from anti-allergic Acrylic/Wool thread, and is perfect for any retro gaming fanatic. They’re currently available in red (Blinky) and orange (Clyde) versions, though I’m sure you could convince AtomicBits to make you an Inky, Pinky or blue ghost if you ask nicely.

Experience the softer side of Tony Stark with this awesome Iron Man amigurumi. He is completely adorable and also nicely detailed.

As you can see in the picture, Iron Man’s mask even flips up. As a bonus the helmet also comes off completely, revealing Tony’s head and he even has facial hair. Hug him, squeeze him, cuddle with him in bed. It’s all good. No one will know what a softy you are.

He’s the cutest Avenger. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to get all of that detail. In the end he turned out perfect. I wish I had one to put on the shelf and admire for myself.

There’s word on the street that a new Plants vs. Zombies game is being announced at E3 this week. So with the game back on the minds of many, what better time to grab this awesome collection of PvZ amigurumis.

This epic collection was created by Komang Damiani and includes a whopping 23 individual Plants and other weapons from your garden.

Unfortunately, The zombies seem to be nowhere to be found in this handmade collection of yarn plants.

Still it’s a pretty great collection for anyone who loves the game. The complete set will set you back $190(USD), so that’s less than $9 per plant. Now all you need is a bunch of crocheted zombies to go with. Oh, they make those too…

For me, Despicable Me was a unexpectedly entertaining animated film. Perhaps it was because of Steve Carrell’s hilarious performance as Gru, or maybe it was his Raving Rabbids-esque army of minions. Either way, you won’t be able to resist this collection of amigurumi minions.

This set of nine minions was handmade by crochet artist Komang Darmiani, and they’re just waiting to be placed on your desk for family, friends or co-workers to ogle and grope. Each one is made from acrylic yarn and measures just under 3″ tall.

The full set will set you back $99.90(USD) – or just over $11 a minion – not too bad for your own highly-obedient cubicle army, I say.
