Gold Dalek Dress Makes Cosplay Easy

We’ve seen some pretty cool Doctor Who themed cosplay outfits in the past, including Dalek and Tardis dresses. The catch was those costumes were homemade. If you lack the time or skills to make your own stuff, we have the outfit for you.

ThinkGeek has rolled out a Doctor Who costume that requires no effort on your part, other than perhaps talking your girlfriend into wearing the dress if you’re buying it as a gift. The Gold Dalek A-Line Dress is strapless, short, and fitted in just the right places. It’s perfect for walking around and saying “The Daleks Survive in Me!”

It sells for $44.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek, but is currently on sale for just $33.74

TARDIS Jukebox Made from Recycled Shipping and Pizza Boxes

It all started when David Prouty’s daughter challenged him to make something out of recycled boxes for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary. Not one to pass on a challenge, David set out to create something unique. Something awesome. A TARDIS jukebox.

This is a 1/3 scale TARDIS that literally rocks. It has disco lights, sound activated LED’s, a smoke machine and an internal Bluetooth speaker. It is powered by a wireless remote and he can even connect his iPod or iPhone to it and he has an instant jukebox.

It was made out of old U-Haul, FedEx, and pizza boxes. Hell, the old Doctor Who series could have used David’s construction skills. This guy knows how to make something on a budget and make it look amazing.

It sure looks great for something made of pizza boxes. Great work, David.

Doctor Who/Sherlock Gingerbread TARDIS: Merry Moffat

This is the confectionery crossover that has so far eluded us on the TV screen. The Doctor and the Detective together at last. Both shows are headed by Steven Moffat, both characters are equally crazy and brilliant, and now they are a part of the same Christmas treat.

It looks like the TARDIS is not only bigger on the inside, but it also now bears Holmes’ address. 221 B. Baker Street on its side. This awesome gingerbread house was created by Twitter user Wholock. Get the name? I would have gone with Doctor Holmes myself, but it’s clever.

Two great shows, one great treat. Looks like these roommates enter through different doors. This is a show I would love to see.

Doctor Who Tumbling TARDIS Tower Game is TARDIS Jenga

Lots of people love Jenga. You know, that game with the wood blocks, where you have to remove blocks and not let the tower collapse. Well, now there is even more reason to love the game as there’s nowa Doctor Who inspired version called the Tumbling TARDIS Tower Game.

In the game, the wood pieces are all TARDIS’ and you play it the same way, except that its all timey-wimey and stuff. Don’t let the Doctor down and let his tower fall.

This will be a lot of fun for Doctor Who fans to play and it is only $29.99(USD) from Entertainment Earth. It will be available in January, but you can pre-order it now. Better yet, you can get in your TARDIS, transport into the future by a month, and pick one up now.

Life-sized Dalek Wedding Cakes: Doctor Chew

When you have (almost) life-sized Dalek wedding cakes, it must feel like you are being married at gunpoint. Plunger-point? MARRY HER OR BE EXTERMINATED! Okay, okay, I’m walking down the aisle already!

These cool Dalek wedding cakes were made by Dinkydoodle Designs and are probably the largest Dalek cakes we have ever seen. Each of these edible Daleks stood five feet-tall, but they weren’t the only Daleks at the wedding. The couple also had a Dalek ice sculpture and a sculpture with a Dalek and TARDIS on top of it. I’m sure the Dalek cakes were the main attraction at the event though. Aside from the bridal party that is.

They look deadly and delicious at the same time. Congrats to the couple on a great wedding and some amazing huge and intimidating cakes.

Steampunk Dalek Cake Toppers: Wedding Cake! Wedding Cake!

There is no better way to exterminate the past and usher in the future, and celebrate the institution of marriage with Daleks. As long as the Doctor doesn’t show up and ruin everything anyway. There’s nothing worse then a Dalek-themed wedding where the Doctor crashes it and blows up the Daleks because he thought they were misbehaving, only to then look around and see his mistake and apologize. Wedding ruined.

… at least until the good Doctor changes history and makes it right again and invites you all into the TARDIS that is. It’s all better now.Now it’s a crazy timelord party. And all thanks to a Dalek cake topper from Etsy artist gammarayrobots, who has lots of other cool stuff too.

This topper will set you back $95(USD) which is a complete bargain compared to what the rest of your wedding costs.

Turn Your Spare Closet into a TARDIS Office

Let’s say you have a small walk-in closet. There must be something you can do with it besides just store clothes in it. There is, and author Noah JD Chinn is here to show you the way. He took his small closet and turned it into a geeky work area.

He started with a small desk, a typewriter, and some shelves, before adding duel screens, some art, blasters, swords of course and then the best part. He turned the doors into TARDIS doors to complete the effect.

This is a small office that any timelord can work in and feel great. See what you can do with a bit of inspiration and hard work?

Handmade Lace TARDIS: Time and Relative Doilies in Space

Do only older people still use doilies? Or have younger people starting using them too? I have no idea. I just know that this TARDIS doily is something that both you and your grandparents can agree on.

They can put a bowl of hard candy on it. You can set the remote down on it. It’s all good, bringing several generations of Whovians together and making your home look geeky and old-timey… wimey.

This handmade tatted lace doily comes from Etsy artist DorothyTRose and will cost you a crazy $700(USD). It is about 17 inches in diameter with green, white, blue, and black thread. Each TARDIS has eight panels (five blue and three white, indicating the windows and the “Pull to Open” sign), and a black bar with white pearlescent beads for the “Police Box” section. A large iridescent bead on top represents the TARDIS’ light.

Assemble a Cabinet at Them: the War Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

So the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special has come and gone and it left us with some amazing memories. Like when the three Doctors were all wielding three different sonic screwdrivers. There’s also John Hurt’s memorable line of “Those are screwdrivers, not weapons. What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?” And now it looks like you can already buy the War Doctor’s sonic screwdriver.

The War Doctor’s sonic screwdriver looks very weaponlike compared to the others as is appropriate. This sleek sonic is metallic and tipped in red. It is available for pre-order now with delivery in January of 2014. It is only $27.99(USD) from Entertainment Earth.

Too bad we don’t get to see more of the War Doctor, but his sonic screwdriver will live on forever.

Soft Sonic Screwdriver Blocks Drafts Under the TARDIS Door

If you are a big fan of Doctor Who, odds are you have more than a few Who themed items around your house. If it stays cold for very long in your neck of the woods, you may have one of those things you lay in front of the door to block cold air from getting in. We always called them “the draft thing” at my grandmas house.

draught blocker 620x465magnify

Apparently the British call them a “draught blocker.” Draught is how they spell draft apparently; I’m honestly surprised the word doesn’t have more instances of the letter U in its spelling. At any rate, if you need to block an annoying draft this winter, you can get this stuffed Sonic Screwdriver officially known as the Sonic Screwdriver Draught Blocker.

It’s stuffed and designed to lie geekily in front of the door. The device is up for pre-order for $44.99(USD) at Bigbadtoystore.com. The draught blocker won’t ship until March. If you live in a climate like Texas – where I reside, it will be 80 degrees by March with winter chill a distant memory. I assume it could also block hot air from getting under the door.
