Hasta La Gadget!

Marvel Entertainment and Disney Consumer Products have announced they have teamed up to launch a fun new device – the Marvel Creativity Studio Stylus and app. The app and stylus are exclusively for the iPad and gives people who are fans of Marvel superheroes a place to learn how to draw, color, and animate their favorite superheroes and villains.

You can draw and color superheroes and villains from Avengers Assemble, The Ultimate Spider-Man, and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Features of the app and stylus include professionally illustrated coloring pages allowing users to decorate their favorite characters with painting tools and an extensive color palette. The styles can be used to unlock the “Reveal” tool which lets you color images like the pros.

The app also features special touches so artists of all levels can successfully learn how to draw these characters including a side-by-side drawing canvas, trace lines, and a Drawing Scope feature. Users can also build and animate action scenes using character stickers, sound effects, speech bubbles, and backgrounds. Custom stickers can also be added to the animated scenes. The stylus is available with a limited-edition zippered case exclusively at Apple Stores for $34.99(USD). The app itself is free, and is available here.

Earlier, we saw what superhero squirrels would look like with the help of Photoshop. This time around, it’s the hamsters’ turn, and there’s no need for any image editing software because Etsy seller Chez Marmota’s costumes have got them covered for real.

Chez sells a variety of superhero-themed costumes in teeny tiny sizes that will fit little pets, like chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, bunny rabbits, mice, or even your kitty.

From Batman and Superman to Captain America and the Flash, it looks like Chez has made them all.

The costumes are available at her Etsy shop Chez Marmota for $9 to $18 (USD). They’re perfect for acting out The Ratvengers or The Moustice League.

So you’ve purchased your Ron Burgundy minifig, and you’re wondering how to show it off, right? Well, all you need is a LEGO-compatible brick ring, and you’ll be all set. Well ask, and ye shall receive.

This nifty LEGO-inspired ring comes from designer FORMA Laboratory, and is made using a 3D-printing or a 3D-printed casting, depending on the material you choose. It can hold any standard LEGO item that can snap onto two studs, making it perfect for showing off your favorite minifigs.

As an added bonus, the modular studs mean you get more than one ring for your money. One day you can have a standard yellow minifig, the next day, you can go for the gold.

The Brick Ring is available in a variety of metals, including brass, stainless steel, sterling silver, or gold plate, and in sizes ranging from 8 to 13 over at Shapeways. Prices vary from $44 t0 $146(USD) depending on the material you choose.

Looking to upgrade your LEGO minifig collection with some new characters? Look no further than miniBIGS for their latest custom minifigs made in the likeness of various pop culture icons. For starters, we have this awesome minifig of the mustachioed Ron Burgundy from Anchorman.

I only wish they made tiny versions of Brian, Champ, Veronica Corningstone and of course they need a LEGO Brick. Get it? Oh well, while we wait for those, how about a minifig Dexter Morgan? miniBIGS has got you covered.

The little serial killer sells for $18 and comes complete with a knife, syringe, and even an interchangeable blood slide accessory. With this tiny Dexter in hand, you can act out your own version of the final season that doesn’t suck. And speaking of shows that don’t suck, these Walking Dead minifigs are awesome.

The set includes The Governor, Glenn, Sheriff Rick, and a Riot Gear Zombie. You can buy them individually for $17.50 each, or grab the set of four for $60. While she’s not available from MiniBigs, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I have a Michonne minifig that I picked up at Chicago Comic Con this year, so I need to get The Governor just so I can reenact the scene where she turns him into a Cyclops.

As usual, each miniBIGS figure is made using the same quality printing technique used by LEGO, so they’re designed not to fade or scratch off. Awesome job guys! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

It’s never too early to get your child into video games. You could seat them beside you as you play, dress them up like your favorite video game characters, even create flash cards that teach them about games and heroes. Another cool way is to build them an awesome stroller like this one here.

This Mass Effect baby stroller was recently spotted at GeekGirlCon ’13 and needless to say, this kid is the most popular on the playground. That stroller looks just like the Normandy and I bet it even goes faster than a normal stroller.

Any video game fan with a little kid wishes they had this to push their baby around in.
