Hasta La Gadget!

You know what Doctor Who needs? More corn! A cornocupia of corn. It’s timey-wimey, corny, worny. Forget the Brigadier. We need the Kernel! Ugh! Terrible. That’s it for my corny jokes.

So what’s the deal with this huge Doctor Who crop formation? It’s to celebrate 50 time-traveling years of Doctor Who. The 300+ meter-long maze was made by York Maze and and you may have noticed, it depicts a giant Dalek, along with the first and latest Doctor.

It looks pretty awesome, but I would hate to get lost in this maze of maize – especially if I bumped into these guys…

At least we know that aliens didn’t create this one.

I know that you really had your heart set on buying the TARDIS, but Matt Smith is not getting rid of that. But he is parting with his first car. This Vauxhall Corsa was the first vehicle he purchased at age 18. It’s a 2000 model and it still runs, with only 60,000 miles on it.

Smith had this to say:

“While I have been travelling the universe in my TARDIS, my much-loved Vauxhall Corsa, aka The Shed, has been parked outside my parents’ house. As my first ever car, it has seen lots of adventures, not to mention a fair few mishaps (hence the dents). I’ll be very sad to see it go but I understand my parents want their driveway back! I’d love to find a new owner for this great little car, particularly as all the profits will go to Starlight, which is an amazing charity that brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children.”

He holds a special place in his heart for this car, but it is time to let go. Head over to eBay and put in a bid for a good cause.

I grew up with the Star Wars action figures so I’m a sucker for anything related to these characters. And this piece of amazing art should be hanging on my wall. It is the Boba Fett action figure, in all it’s plastic glory, painted life-sized and looking very authentic indeed.

Mats Gunnarsson created this incredible oil painting, which seems to have all of the details spot on. Mats takes vintage toys and comic books and turns them into oil paintings. It’s his thing. And obviously he is excellent at it.

This Boba Fett painting is his latest work and I am in love with it. Check out Mats’ website for more awesome action figure paintings.

Ever wanted to live in a futuristic spaceship just so you could have those cool metal doors on all of your rooms? While that might just be a pipedream, you can easily transform your current abode into a science fiction/video game set thanks to these new door decals.

The MetalCore series of vinyl decals can turn any interior door into something out of your favorite FPS or sci-fi flick. They come in four different designs, including Airlock, Freight Elevator, Laboratory Door, and Armory.

The door decals measure 32″(W) x 80″(H) and can be moved and remounted if you’d like. They retail for $99.95(USD) each but Gadgets & Gear is offering a pre-order special for just $79.95 if you order now. They expect to start shipping mid-August.

I’m not sure if these doors will keep your little siblings out of your room, or make it just that much more appealing.

Why would anyone ever own a Mogwai? You are just asking for trouble. Have you not seen the movies? Those cute little furballs turn into Gremlins. They are like tribbles, but deadly. Don’t ever own a Mogwai people! They will only bring you trouble.

This life sized Gremlin is so realistic that it should serve as a PSA warning people about the dangers of Mogwai/Gremlins. Amazingly, it was constructed entirely out of cardboard by crafter crispin23. Obviously this guy likes cigars. And clawing peoples faces off.

It is amazing work. More importantly it reminds us to never get Mogwai wet, feed them after midnight or even rub their furry little tummies. Do not be fooled by their fuzziness.
