You’ll Be Snoring on this Pokémon Snorlax Bean Bag

I’ve never been able to keep up on all the different Pokémon. Somewhere around Pikachu and Squirtle, I lose track. Though, I’m definitely familiar with Snorlax, a big, roly-poly guy who looks like the fattest, laziest Pokémon in all of Kanto. In fact, his abilities include “Thick Fat” and “Gluttony”. I’m not kidding. Now, you can take a nap on his big Poké-belly, courtesy of the Snorlax bean bag chair.

This full-size bean bag chair is handmade by Ashley over at A Geek Boutique. It looks like the perfect place to curl up and count ‘em all (and I’m talking about sheep, not Pokémon). Thankfully, it weighs just a few pounds – way less than the 1014 pounds that an actual Snorlax weighs. If Snorlaxes actually existed, that is.

So gather up all your Pokédollars, and head on over to Etsy to order your very own Snorlax bean bag. It’s $299(USD) – not including the beans – in order to cut down on shipping cost, but she’ll sell you the beans too if you’re okay with the extra cost. I’ve been told that the Snorlax has a taste for refried beans, so you might want to go with those.


TARDIS Liquor Cabinet: Jigger on the Inside

There’s actually a bar in Brooklyn that has its very own TARDIS, but if you want one in your house instead, I think I like this idea even better. Unofficially dubbed the “Party TARDIS” by Redditor imonfirex727, it’s a work of geeky wonder.

This TARDIS liquor cabinet is loaded with booze – presumably acquired by the Doctor during various trips through time and space. Somewhere along the way, he even picked up a smaller TARDIS and an even tinier Dalek, and stores them in the cabinet for safe-keeping. I’ve heard that the Davros 30-year single malt is quite a treat.

Dalek Wedding Cakes Are Dressed to Exterminate

Reddit user eclaire4186 received the best wedding gift ever when her sister had these Dalek cakes made for her. Her sister had been teasing her for months and then, just as they were wrapping up the wedding lunch, these two creatures were unveiled.

Her sister found someone to make a Dalek Bride and Groom! A well-dressed Dalek bride and groom at that. If you are going to exterminate bachelorhood, this is the way to do it. Though I’m not sure about Daleks with pasty white skin, they look pretty cool.

For some reason, the groom Dalek reminds me of Winston Churchill. It’s probably the cut of the suit and the girth. He just needs a cigar. What a great sister!

Papercraft Minecraft Terrains: Wallcraft

3D printing is perfect for making Minecraft products. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use your ol’ 2D printer to bring your in-game creations to the real world. Laboratory 424 has made templates of Minecraft blocks that you can print, fold and then mount using adhesive foam.  papercraft minecraft terrain 4

Yep, each block in the picture above was printed, folded and attached individually. But this should be a cakewalk compared to the stuff you’ve built in the game right?

papercraft minecraft terrain 3 150x150
papercraft minecraft terrain 4 150x150

Head to Laboratory 424 for the full how-to and links to the templates and other materials. I suggest you start small, not because it’s difficult but because the cost for the adhesive foam blocks will add up quick.

Zelda Triforce Necklace: Gold Pendant of Courage (and Power and Wisdom)

Add this simple but beautiful chain and pendant set to your Legend of Zelda jewelry collection. It’s made of hand-polished brass with 18k gold plating. Flashy, but it’s also an appropriate likeness for something that’s also known as the Golden Power.

There’s also a stainless steel version for humble heroes.

You can order the gold-plated Triforce necklace from Etsy seller milkool for $75 (USD). The stainless steel set is cheaper at $36. But if you’re really strapped for rupees, you should just settle for the acrylic set.

Clockwork is a Giant K’nex Ball Machine

Look at this crazy K’Nex machine. It took 8 months to create, has over 450 feet of track and it includes over 40,000 K’Nex pieces, 8 motors, 5 lifts, 21 distinct paths, and a computer-controlled crane. That’s insane.
giant knex contraption
This crazy contraption is called “Clockwork,” a giant K’Nex ball machine created by YouTube user austron. This is his fifth major ball machine and their largest, most complex K’Nex structure.

Check the video. It’s a wild ride that takes a full 5 minutes! It’s insane to me that people create this stuff. I just wish I had the talent to make a massive machine like this. I don’t know about you, but I could watch it do it’s thing all day long.

Awesome Hand Paintings are the Handiwork of Two Very Handy People

Now here’s some awesome (and literal) hand art. Body painter Annie Ralli and photographer Ray Massey were commissioned by an insurance company to come up with images surrounding their tagline which went, “You’re in good hands.”

It took some mad photography and painting skills, but the duo managed to pull it off with their series of hand paintings that look out-of-this-world and realistically good.

You can check out more of their handiwork in the gallery below. You won’t be able to look at your hands in the same way afterwards, I tell you.

Anatomical Barbie Looks Cool But Might Freak Your Kids Out

Koen Hauser gave his subjects the anatomical treatment and his human models couldn’t look any creepier. Now it’s Barbie’s turn.

In the eyes of many kids (mostly girls), she’s the perfect doll. She’s pretty, she’s sexy, and she’s got a hunky boyfriend named Ken. And she’s “human” too – well, sort of.

Anatomical BarbieShe won’t come to life, but artist Jason Freeny shows everyone that she’s got a skeleton and intestines just like you and I do. But is it just me, or is anatomical Barbie still prettier than the average anatomical human?

Anatomical Barbie1

This hand-sculpted model of Barbie with her insides showing on one side is Freeny’s latest handiwork and it looks pretty awesome, don’t you think? Prints available in his shop.

Pac-Man Table is Retro Class All the Way

We’ve seen several Pac-Man tables over the years, and all of them are neat in their own ways. This one keeps things classy with a modern look and color matching chairs.

pac man table 1

This arcade inspired table was made by master woodworker Thanasis Mokas who apparently has a case of Pac-Man fever, which is driving him crazy. The textured game scene sits beneath a sheet of glass and even comes with four stools in familiar game colors. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s the colors (or the lack of white eyeballs on the ghosts), but this one reminds me of the Atari 2600 version of the game, but better.

pac man table 2

You wouldn’t think that this game would look good in wood, but it looks pretty awesome. I would love to own one of these tables for myself.

Final Fantasy VII Finally Gets Remade… In LittleBigPlanet 2

Still waiting for a PS3 port of Final Fantasy VII? Wait some more. Because this is not it. It’s the next best thing though: a remake of the entire game on LittleBigPlanet 2, that includes “all conversations, sound tracks, characters, bosses, and enemies.”

final fantasy vii littlebigplanet 2 remake

The geeky feat was made by one Jamie Colliver, who spent a total of 6 months making the 20 levels needed to remake the PlayStation classic. Jamie even managed to mimic the materia and limit break system. He didn’t have to mimic the costumes though, thanks to the official Final Fantasy VII costume pack. Below is the first of 6 videos showing Colliver playing through the levels.

Bravo. The rest of the videos are on Jamie’s YouTube page. Someone give him an Elgato Game Capture or something so we can see the levels the way they were meant to be seen. Meanwhile those of you who have LBP 2 can look at and play the levels for yourselves. Just look for Jamie’s PSN ID “BRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP” (that’s 13 P’s).
