TARDIS Cube: Doctor Rubik

Over the years, I’ve seen my fair share of unusual Rubik’s Cubes, as well as plenty of TARDIS goodies. But I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen a TARDIS Rubik’s Cube.

Ok, it’s not official Rubik’s-branded merch, nor is it a cube, but it’s still a TARDIS and it is a puzzle game. At the end of the day, it’s not even a very complicated puzzle, with a grid of just 2 x 2 x 4 blocks. Though when you start moving all of the pieces around, it does seem to get bigger on the inside, so it’s got that going for it.

This Tardis Cube was designed by Shapeways contributor Gus, and is available as a 3D printed model for about $51 (USD). Though it doesn’t come in color – you have to order it in white and then dye it and apply some labels yourself. Maybe someday Gus will design a full-color version, now that 3D printing tech is fully capable of doing that. On the other hand, you could use this model to make your own TARDIS in any color you’d like. How about a golden TARDIS? Or a hot pink one? You could even decorate the cubes in the colors of a traditional Rubik’s Cube.

TARDIS Soda Machine is Sweeter on the Inside

Looks like the TARDIS’ chameleon circuit is sort of working now. The TARDIS still looks like a phone box, but at least it was half-successful in trying to disguise itself as a soda vending machine.

This is actually the work of some pretty talented nerds who had both a love of soda and a love for Doctor Who – both of which can not be quenched. Epic Comics in Orlando, FL took their boring old soda machine and converted it into this awesome TARDIS.

I guess this means that there is a Doctor inside who feels like he is in a time loop from hell; damned to roam the endless halls of the TARDIS in search of cans of pop at every push of the buttons, before walking back to the door and dropping them in the slot for your enjoyment. Good work. Finally the Doctor has been outsmarted. Not to mention enslaved. You guys are evil! But I love it.

What If Doctor Who Was a 16-bit RPG?

Strip Doctor Who of its BBC production values, translate it into a 16-bit role playing game and you have something so deliciously geeky that it really ought be made a reality. More »

Doctor Who Cookie Cutters: Timey Wimey Tasty Wasty

We’ve previously featured some Doctor Who inspired cookie cutters, but you had to make them yourself using dangerously sharp strips of metal. Now, through the wonders of 3D printing technology, you can actually buy some plastic one, shaped like iconic characters and items from the long-running science fiction series.

These awesome cookie cutters are made by WarpZone, and are available in a variety of classic Doctor Who shapes, including the TARDIS, Dalek, K9, a Weeping Angel, Cyberman, and a blobby little Adipose. I love all the little details that come through in the cookies too. You’ll be able to easily exterminate the Dalek in your stomach acids, but I’d still be wary of blinking while baking the Weeping Angels.

There are also cutters made up to look like the 10th or 11th doctor, though I’d rather have a cookie that looked like Tom Baker and his excessively long scarf. Prices for individual cutters range from $5.50 to $6.50 (USD), or you can get a complete set of 8 cutters for $50.

Who Ordered the Dalek Pizza with Extra Extermination?

The Daleks are the most fearsome creatures that the universe has to offer. They must be since they keep “almost” destroying Earth, the universe and everything in it. The Doctor has known no stronger foe. And now, feast your eyes on the supreme Dalek with extra cheese.
dalek pizza
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was during the great time war that the Doctor banished the Daleks from time itself. However, unbeknownst to him, one Dalek survived in the resulting chaos as an un-reality bubble landed in a pizzeria just as a baker was flinging some dough. The Daleks had their agent for their eventual return. The extreme supreme extra cheese, full-pepperoni Dalek was born.

If they can not kill us from without, they would kill us from within. Dalek pizzas were made. With heartburn searing human insides so intensely that humans turned to ash after two hours of digestion, they began their plan for domination (and a thriving pizza chain named Taste of Skaro). Their plan would have worked perfectly. If only that damned blue box hadn’t shown up to pick up an order. And that was the end of the great Dalek pizza master plan.

Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock

The Doctor is in… especially if you are a huge fan of the Doctor Who series. Well, I am quite sure that you will not find it difficult to wake up from your sleep in order to catch an episode of Doctor Who on TV, but sometimes, getting up from your bed so that you can arrive at your office on time is far more of a Mission Impossible than anything else. Perhaps you would need something from the world of Doctor Who to help you be fully awake, and what better way to do so than with the $39.99 Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock?

Yes sir, you will be able to face a brand new day in style with this TARDIS-shaped timepiece, where you can tell the time after it has been projected against wall or onto a ceiling, bringing it well into the 21st century. In order to up the realism ante, it will flash some light, while TARDIS noises will play for the alarm. Just make sure you have a trio of AAA batteries on hand always to keep this bad boy going, otherwise you will still be late for work as the alarm fails to go off – simply because it ran out of juice. That’d be a bummer now, wouldn’t it?

Doctor Who Valentine’s Day Dalek Earrings Will Exterminate Her Heart… in a Good Way

Nothing says I love you like some winged Daleks dangling from her ears. Forget chocolates, forget flowers. What she really wants are these Dalek earrings from jewelry artist HokeyDonut.

These daleks may be hellbent on destroying the universe 364 days a year, but for Valentine’s Day they are simply angels. When the clock strikes midnight on February 15th though, they will be back to their old tricks – so be careful.

The plastic earrings are accented with 4mm bicone Swarovski crystals and measure about 2 3/4″ long, including the hooks. They are only $12(USD) for the pair, and they will melt her geek heart, not vaporize her body. Which is always a good thing when giving a gift. This beats flowers any day.

Doctor Who Plush 11th Doctor Pillow: Pillows Are Cool

I know that many female Doctor Who fans would love to snuggle up with Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor. But since he’s probably never going to show up in your home, here is the next best thing. A plush pillow that looks just like him.

This 14″ x 11″ pillow wears no fez, but he does have the bow tie and the rest of his “cool” outfit. It is handmade from top quality fabrics like anti-pill fleece, allergen-free fiber-fill and eco-friendly felt. It’s all stitched, no glue or anything like that. The Doctor would surely approve.

You can find it at telahmarie’s Etsy store for just $30 (USD), where you can also find the 4th Doctor and various other geeky pillows.

TARDIS Blanket is Warmer on the Inside

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.
tardis blanket
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.

May the Fez Be with You T-Shirt: A Long Time Ago in a TARDIS Far, Far Away

May the Force, ah, Fez, be with you. This awesome shirt takes the worlds of Doctor Who and Star Wars and mashes them up into timey-wimey awesomeness. I always thought that the Sonic Screwdriver could be turned into a lightsaber with some minor modifications.
may the fez be with you1
The shirt features a 6 color design of the 11th Doctor wielding a lightsaber. It’s printed on a super soft American Apparel 100% cotton tee.

may the fez be with you

This awesome shirt is available from ianleino.com for the low price of $20(USD). Frankly, I would pay $100 for this awesome shirt. Shhh. Don’t tell Ian that.

He has some other great designs available as well, but this one really rocks the TARDIS. Can we get the whole cast involved? I’m thinking Amy as Princess Leia and Rory as Han in a movie poster style shirt.
