Hasta La Gadget!

I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t take a bath with the Alien queen or her babies. But if you do encounter their nasty saliva and get all grimy from fighting them, you need to clean up once it is all over. Might as well get squeaky clean with some soap shaped like H.R. Giger’s Aliens.

This creepy set of four Alien soaps comes from Etsy seller TheHalloweenQueen in a variety of scents, and includes two queens and two babies. Aren’t they adorable? Well, they are until you drop one in your suds and can’t find it again. Then it attacks you underwater and lays eggs in your skin or just bites your butt.

If you’re willing to risk it, this set is very affordable at just $4(USD).

There aren’t many more iconic creations from the Star Wars universe than the AT-AT Imperial walkers from The Empire Strikes Back. Sure, they ended up having an Achilles’ heel (or four of them), but I’d like to see you design a walking weapon that can’t be tripped. Fans of the AT-AT will definitely appreciate this piece of furniture – a bookcase made in the form of the Imperial walker.

Diana over at Bit Rebels spotted this awesome AT-AT bookshelf by Whittled in Wood. It’s perfect for holding onto your Star Wars books and collectibles, and while it might designed for a kid’s room, I don’t see any reason why you adults can’t enjoy it too. It’s handmade from birch plywood and other woods, and held together with screws and dowel rods. That sounds pretty sturdy to me, but you still won’t want to let any Rebel snow speeders get near it with tow cables.

The AT-AT bookshelf is available over on Whittled in Wood’s Etsy shop for $565(USD). While you’re over there, you might want to pick up a Millenium Falcon…

[Thanks, Diana!]

Ok, this Optimus Prime ring isn’t officially a wedding ring, but come on, what else would you use it for? It’s the perfect ring for Transformers-loving couples, who want to make the ultimate transformation into marriage.

This .925 sterling silver ring is in the likeness of the Autobot leader’s head. It will cost you $91.15(USD) from Etsy seller Princeofdiamonds. That’s not nearly as expensive as a traditional wedding ring, but it’ll certainly make more of an impression than one of those.

Give this ring to your significant other and she will be yours for life. Then settle down and makes lots of little Autobots.

While the last memorable cat in a video game was probably Bubsy, that doesn’t mean cats don’t want to get in on the action. Here’s a fun way for your cat to play a little Super Mario Bros., IRL.

This Super Mario Cat Complex was made by Etsy artist CatastrophiCreations, and is the perfect place for cats named Mario or Luigi to hang out.

The wall-mounted box has a hidden set of portals inside the pipes, and their insides are lined with sisal, which cats just love to climb. The question mark block is made from screen so kitty can see out, though I don’t know if catnip drops out of it when punched.

So skip the scratching post, gather up some gold coins, and head over to Etsy, wher you can pick up the Super Mario Cat Complex for $200(USD).

Sure, we can all laugh about these Star Wars Mickey Mouse ears and point and say “Those merchandising fools. That’s ridiculous.” But remember, Disney now owns Lucasfilm, and therefore Star Wars. I wouldn’t be surprised if people wore this stuff in the next movies. I’m ready for anything after Jar Jar.

Etsy artist Jessica Danker makes these offbeat Mickey Mouse ear hats in a variety of styles.

I especially like the X-Wing pilot/X-Ear hat. And the Darth Maul hat. Yeah! Mickey Maul. That I can get behind!

They are cute and clever creations – as long as they keep them out of any movies.
