Is it Spock looking like a minion or a minion looking like Spock? I have no idea. I just know that he is adorable. This cute little Vulcan hybrid comes from Etsy artist Kutuleras and you can get him for just about $31(USD) from their Etsy shop.

He is 12.5 inches tall and the glasses are even removable. Now you can have a Vulcan/Minion aboard your starship for the first time in the Federation’s history.

C-3PO Electric Guitar Made from Action Figure Case

Poor 3PO. He was never as popular as R2 and he never will be. At least someone thought enough of the prissy protocol droid to make an electric guitar out of his action figure collectors case.

Everyone knows the Darth Vader collector’s case, but not as many people had the C-3PO version because, well because no one seems to like him. Though his action figure case makes a great body for an electric guitar once you ad a neck and strings. The case still opens up and it even talks. C-3PO says three different phrases. That’s a little disappointing since he’s supposed to be fluent in over six million forms of communication.

This protocol guitar measures 41″ tall X 15″wide and is 5″ thick. It was made by Etsy artist RainyDayInstruments and will cost you $465(USD).

It’s Deep Space Nine O’ Clock

If this clock looks familiar it’s because it’s a sculpture of Star Trek’s Deep Space Nine. It is called the “Starfleet Machine” and it is breathtaking. It was created by Swiss watch designer L’Epée, with microengineering from the lab MB&F.

It has a lot of the same mechanisms as a wristwatch, just larger in scale. Its custom-made movement has a 40-day power reserve and a series of five mainspring barrels. The clock shows hours and minutes, double retrograde seconds and has a power reserve indicator. I wonder if it has any unique Quarks. Or Roms even.

This thing looks super amazing. Shut up and take my gold-pressed latinum!

Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc Defies Laws of Physics

Forget Frisbee. That is so last century. What you need in a flying disc is a starship. Like the U.S.S. Enterprise. That’s totally doable right? Hell yes. ThinkGeek has this Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc that is totally aerodynamic despite the Enterprise body and those nacelles being attached to the saucer section.

Seemingly defying physics, you just throw the saucer section and the rest of the ship follows. Then your friend catches it. Sadly, it is not warp capable.

Ok fine. April Fools! But you know, it wouldn’t take much to make this a reality. I hope you ThinkGeek guys are working on this one for real. Around the clock please. I would like a flying Klingon Bird of Prey that I can throw and simulate battles with.

Darth Vader Could Be the Next President of Ukraine

When voters go to the polls in Ukraine, they will soon have their choice between a bunch of the usual lying politicians and… Darth Vader. Hey, at least he is honest about being a jerkwad. Yes, Darth Vader has officially announced his candidacy.

The Dark Lord of the Sith told RT news, “I am prepared to take responsibility for the fate of this country, if fellow citizens do me this high honor. I alone can make an empire out of a republic, to restore former glory, to return lost territories and pride for this country.”

This isn’t a complete prank. Well, it is, but it is an expensive one. Vader is being backed by a real party called the Internet Party of Ukraine which was made official back in 2007. The party has filed all the necessary paperwork and even made the required deposit of $225,225 so Darth Vader will appear as a candidate on the May 25th ballot. If he wins, I hope we finally get a Death Star.

The tiny starship measures just 5″ x 2″ x 2.5″ while on the stand. This awesome mini ship comes with a mini book telling you all about the Enterprise too. You will have to provide the phaser noises yourself though, as you imitate Scotty yelling, “I’m giving you all she’s got Captain!”

The mini Enterprise is perfect for your cubicle or office. It’s only $12.95(USD) from ThinkGeek. It makes a cool little night light too. I would hang it from the ceiling.
