Hasta La Gadget!

This belonged to your father. He wanted you to have it. It is a plumbing tool from a more civilized age. And here, have this Millenium Falcon Toilet seat too.

This is the best toilet plunger ever and all it takes is replacing the wooden rod from your plunger with a lightsaber. The falcon toilet seat is obviously Photoshopped, but it is still a good idea. Just don’t get into lightsaber fights with your plumber friends. That could be disgusting. That saber has been in the toilet for God’s sake. Then again, it might be a good deterrent for your opponent, and they might just run off.

I think we need a whole line of Star Wars bathroom accessories like these. Maybe an Admiral Ackbar toilet seat that says, “It’s a crap!” Oh, we already have that.

Sure, Superman can leap tall buildings in a single bound and fly all over the place, but as Clark Kent, he still needs to drive in order to blend in. What do you think he drives? Apparently, it’s a Kia.

After showing off a round of superhero cars last Fall, DC Comics and KIA teamed up to make this Superman Optima Hybrid for the We Can Be Heroes charity. It was recently shown off at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. This super KIA features a grille that resembles Superman’s belt, a paint job that matches the big blue Boy Scout’s costume, along with red wheels and trim and trunk that mimic his cape.

The interior is even better, with Superman emblems on the electric blue seats and steering wheel. If Clark is going to drive this, he is going to give his secret away though. Brake. Brake before Zod!

Pew, pew, pew, pew! This Star Destroyer cake will fly over your birthday presents and tractor beam them into it’s hanger bay like so many Rebel ships. And you won’t even care – since this cake is complete awesomeness. It even lights up.

Lorenzo Wood, who has to be the best parent ever, made this Imperial Star Destroyer birthday cake for his son Alexander. This cake sits on a custom base Lorenzo made that has light up windows and even thruster flare effects.  The detail is super nice, and the lights certainly beat crummy old candles, right?

Great job Lorenzo. I’m surprised he didn’t rig an escape pod that shoots a cupcake shaped capsule onto your plate. Star Destroyer or diet destroyer?

Chinese finger traps are probably the bane of many children’s (and android’s) existences. Of course, it’s not much of a scare or prank once you figure out how to get your fingers out of the trap, but the trauma (“I’m going to be stuck like this forever!”) remains.

Picking up on how finger traps work is designer James Piatt, who managed to work its mechanism into a series of ladies’ handbags.

The result? His Finger Trap line of handbags, which requires at least one trapped finger to ‘hold’ the bag. The full-sized version is best carried with three fingers trapped in the handles (or shall I say, finger-dles?) It comes with a shoulder strap, in case you’d prefer to have full use of your bag finger while you’re carrying it.

This here is the mini version of the Finger Trap bag:

It’s definitely an unusual design inspired by an equally unusual puzzle. They don’t come cheap, either. The full-sized Finger Trap bag costs $725(USD), while the mini one retails for $125.

Aside from the huggable Totoro, the Catbus is one of the most memorable characters in the 1988 classic My Neighbor Totoro. After all, what’s not to like about a huge multilegged cat that can take you wherever you want to go? And what’s not to like about a LEGO version of said cat?

The LEGO Catbus was made by Tomoyuki Wakata. He wanted to make a version of the Catbus that kids could interact with, so he ended up adding two things that the cartoon Catbus didn’t have: wheels and a handle. The idea is for kids to hold Catbus by Its handle then move him back and forth. Upon doing so, they get a reward: its head, legs and chubby tail move!

Man, people will always find awesome ways to put LEGO together. I wonder where those whiskers and eyes are originally from.
