While I love the idea of all the space inside of an actual TARDIS tent, this one exists only in the real world, providing a space measuring just 61″(H) x 35″ (W) x 35″ (D). Clearly, this is not a tent for lying down in, but it’s just right for pretend time and space travelers – as long as they’re under 5-feet-tall.

Underground Toys TARDIS tent doesn’t just look like the Doctor’s craft from the outside. Open up the inside, and you’ll find a large print of the intricate insides of the TARDIS too. Sure, it’s totally non-functional, and not practical for sleeping at all, but it’s still pretty cool if you’re into Doctor Who.

You can pre-order the TARDIS tent over at Big Bad Toy Store for $119 (USD), and it ships this October. And I suppose you could always lie it on its side if you want to sleep in it.

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.

I love Doctor Who, but I suck at chess. Even so, I want to buy this set just because it looks so amazing. However, I lack the financial resources to spend almost $1000 on a chess set, so I am just going to have to admire it from afar.

It’s not just made to be looked at. It’s made for playing. The wooden chess board wasn’t made from scratch. It was modified to look more Who-like. One cool feature is that it folds in half to hold all the pieces safely. Each piece is handmade using polymer clay, and the pieces are split into a good side and a bad side. Of course, The Doctor, River Song, Amy, Amelia and some TARDISes are on the good team, while The Dreamlord, Madam Kovarian, the headless monks and weeping angels are some the the bad guys. Just look at the detail in these pieces. Clearly, a lot of time went into creating this set.

If you want it, you better get it while you can. Priced at $949 (USD), it’s one-of-a-kind and the seller, Dutch artist Emmi Viser won’t be making another set. Check out more details on the set here.

Etsy is a great place to find wonderful handmade crafts, and every once in a while I come across something I can honestly say I’ve not seen before. What we have here is some of our favorite sci-fi, movie and video game characters – all transformed into fat cats by Kathleen over at Fat Cat Crafts.

Oh, and these aren’t just any overweight felines, no. The cats of Fat Cat Crafts all function as pincushions, so if you’re into sewing, you can keep your spare needles and pins in them. (Or if you just want to put a voodoo curse on your cat.) My favorite has to be the highly-detailed Boba Fett fat cat (Boba Fatt?), complete with jet pack, though I do like the sound of  ”Shat Fat Cat” rolling off of my tongue too…

Among Kathleen’s other handmade creations are Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Mario, Luigi, Doctor Who, Obi Wan Kenobi and Indiana Jones (complete with pipe-cleaner whip) – all in fat cat form.

Prices range from $17 to $23 (USD) for the geeky fat cat pincushions over at Fat Cat Crafts’s Etsy shop.

So the latest season of Doctor Who kicked off last week with a Dalek episode. And if you saw it, you already know that this episode breaths new life into the Daleks and takes them from being a silly overused villain to making them multi-dimensional bad guys. Well, I can’t think of a better time to buy oneself a Dalek hat.

This neat Dalek hat comes from Nerdy Needles Knitting who makes many knitted Dalek hats in a variety of colors. The real Daleks now come in a plethora of colors after all. (They also offer TARDIS hats if you’re rooting for the good guys.)

The Dalek hat will keep you warm and cozy whether you are battling the Doctor or just wasting away on a Dalek Asylum planet. Just $36(USD).
