Hasta La Gadget!

If you have a LEGO town set up in your home, chances are it needs an arcade. A town without an arcade is just… well, sad. Luckily for you there are these Lego City Arcade Machines.

This custom set of LEGO arcade games comes from Etsy seller TinyBricks and will cost you $69.99(USD).

You get six custom-built classics: TRON, Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Superman, Super Mario Bros. and of course Pac-Man. And as a special bonus, you also get a 1980′s Punk Rocker Minifig. Someone has to play these mini machines after all.

They measure about 2.1” x 1.25”. Either have your own LEGO arcade or mix them with your other LEGO sets. Maybe you wanted to see an arcade inside of Hogwarts. Or maybe you feel that Jabba’s palace was in need of a TRON machine. The possibilities are endless.

They look so cute and hungry for tiny quarters.

Looking to upgrade your LEGO minifig collection with some new characters? Look no further than miniBIGS for their latest custom minifigs made in the likeness of various pop culture icons. For starters, we have this awesome minifig of the mustachioed Ron Burgundy from Anchorman.

I only wish they made tiny versions of Brian, Champ, Veronica Corningstone and of course they need a LEGO Brick. Get it? Oh well, while we wait for those, how about a minifig Dexter Morgan? miniBIGS has got you covered.

The little serial killer sells for $18 and comes complete with a knife, syringe, and even an interchangeable blood slide accessory. With this tiny Dexter in hand, you can act out your own version of the final season that doesn’t suck. And speaking of shows that don’t suck, these Walking Dead minifigs are awesome.

The set includes The Governor, Glenn, Sheriff Rick, and a Riot Gear Zombie. You can buy them individually for $17.50 each, or grab the set of four for $60. While she’s not available from MiniBigs, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I have a Michonne minifig that I picked up at Chicago Comic Con this year, so I need to get The Governor just so I can reenact the scene where she turns him into a Cyclops.

As usual, each miniBIGS figure is made using the same quality printing technique used by LEGO, so they’re designed not to fade or scratch off. Awesome job guys! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Action figure modder Sillof loves to remake popular characters by casting them in the style of different eras or genres. But when the owners of the Best Western Denver Southwest hotel approached him last Spring, they wanted him to combine two popular franchises. But he stepped up to the challenge and delivered. Welcome to Seusstastic Park!

The hotel owners asked Sillof to mashup Jurassic Park with Dr. Seuss because they were giving their business a dinosaur-themed makeover. Also because they just love Dr. Seuss. Sillof came up with Catahaturuses, a Lorceritax, Dilos, Yellosneechtors, and the most terrifying creature of them all, the Grinchasaurus rex. He also came up with a Seuss-ified version of the Jurassic Park gate and car.

But that’s not all. In true Dr. Seuss fashion, the hotel owners provided Sillof with the first and last stanzas of a poem about Seusstastic Park, and Sillof filled in the rest of the poem. You can read the poem on Sillof’s website. Sillof said he had fun with the project and is thrilled with how it turned out. He also said that the hotel owners may auction off the figures for charity, so keep an eye out on the Best Western Facebook page if you want to own a piece of Seusstastic Park.

I’ve seen cars covered in gold, diamonds and other materials, but it isn’t everyday that you see a car covered in bison leather. This insanely over-the-top ride was made by a guy from Russia.

The car is completely covered in Canadian wood bison leather from the inside out. I guess this guy really loves his leather. Though expensive natural fur, including mink and sable was added to the interior to complement the bison leather.

The hood, dashboard, seats and even the engine has been enshrouded in specially treated leather that can withstand high temperatures.

And of course, there are also Swarovski crystals in select areas, because you have to have those gaudy and cheap bits of glass to pimp anything out.

What do you think? Too much leather? Or do you love it? Oh, did I happen to mention that it’s for sale? It’s just 88,000,000 Russian Rubles – or about $2.66 million US Dollars.

You know what stinks? Loving a movie that doesn’t have any actions figures that you can collect. Blade Runner is a good example. There are no official Blade Runner action figures, and that’s just plain wrong.

However, San Francisco freelance artist Scott Petterson has created a custom and very realistic series of 12″ action figures based on Ridley’s Scott’s 1982 sci-fi thriller. Scott works in wax when he sculpts to get those incredible details. He even created some “end of the movie” versions of Deckard and Roy Batty, when the characters are covered with battle wounds.

It takes two to three months to create one of his reproductions, but the end result is really amazing. I wish toy companies could do this good a job. I wish I could buy the whole set.

He plans on making more characters from the film, like Dr. Eldon Tyrell and Gaff. You can buy some unpainted head sculptures from his art blog if you like what you see.
