Hasta La Gadget!

Hasbro really needs to start licensing more characters in its My Little Pony series. Just imagine how awesome a Doctor Who collection would be, as evidenced by this fourth Doctor My Little Pony plush made by Lilmoon on DeviantArt.

This pony is perfect, featuring the Doctor’s signature scarf, hat and even an hourglass cutie mark. This was a special commission for some lucky person in Australia. Lilmoon says that the pony was easy to make, but the accessories took more time to come up with. The scarf and hat are both removable, which is nice if he regenerates and has to change his wardrobe.

I’m no Brony myself, but I would love to have this guy in my Doctor Who collection.

The heroes of science. They have changed our world. Did they make it a better place? Sometimes. Not the guys who invented the atomic bomb so much. In general though, these eggheads have bettered our world. It’s time to add them to our toy collections. Even though your G.I. Joes and Star Wars figures will totally kick their butt and take their lunch money.

These conceptual action figures are based on famous physicists, mathematicians, chemists, and other scientists by DeviantARTist datazoid. Sure Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Feynman might make for some pretty boring toys since they only battle with their minds instead of their fists, but so does Professor X. And he’s a badass.

They each took between 40 minutes and 2 hours each to create. They are all based on Star Trek: TNG and Star Trek: DS9 figures (mostly Odo from DS9, and Picard as Dixon Hill from TNG). Then he modified them in Photoshop.

Typically, when we talk about Kickstarter projects here on Technabob, we’re looking at a video game or some sort of gadget or accessory. But some of the most common projects on Kickstarter have nothing to do with electronics. One such project is a zombie children’s book called A Brain is For Eating.

The book isn’t exactly aimed at human children, unless those children lean towards the macabre. Illustrated by Scott Brundage, the book is described by its authors Dan and Amelia Jacobs as a children’s book written for zombies and their little undead. The idea is that the book teaches little zombies how to catch food and share with their legless brethren. The book looks quite funny, I particularly like the passage about finding a school bus that’s not moving…

A pledge of $10(USD) will get you a digital version of the book for the Kindle, iPad, and other digital readers. A pledge of $25 will get a hardcopy version of the book. If you pledge $50 or more, you’ll get a limited-edition version of the book signed by the authors and your name listed in the back including a digital copy.

The project is seeking $10,000 in funding to finish and publish the book, and with five days to go, it has so far raised nearly $6000. If you like the thought of a zombie children’s book, you need to head on over to Kickstarter now and pledge to get in on the project.

Most cats are just happy to sit in the window and watch birds or sleep all day, but the adventurous cat likes to travel to exotic alien planets via a Stargate.

If you have the sewing skills to make a cat bed like this, your cat will be very lucky indeed. It’s no wonder the Egyptians loved cats so much. It turns out that they are galactic travelers who at one time had their own Stargate technology. Or so I want to believe.

They travel to various planets finding lifeforms that will pamper them and feed them and treat them like royalty. How else do you explain our absurd love of these creatures?

You can find the instructions for making your own Stargate cat bed over on Instructables.

Devotional candles are great for, you know, showing your religious devotion. They also come in handy for when the power goes out, as many people found out in the recent hurricane on the East Coast. I think it’s about time that we put a geeky spin on these candles.

These devotional candles let you burn a light in honor of your favorite geeky icons! They feature Rose Tyler, Katniss, Princess Peach, a Weighted Companion Cube and more. There’s something for everyone. They were created by Banana Leviathan and come with an 8.2″ white wax candle already inside.

They only cost $10(USD) and will look great on your shelf. They also make great a great geeky stocking stuffer.
