Star Wars Gets the Street Art Treatment

Animated character designer Phil Postma created this series of imaginary Star Wars action figures cards after he saw an image of an R2-D2 action figure that looked like a tiny spray can.

I love the graffiti art style of the images, and think it would be awesome if they actually made a Star Wars animated series with this look.

I’d also like Phil to come to my neighborhood and spray this on one of the buildings:

Darth Vader Ring, One Sith to Rule Them All

The force is strong with this sterling silver Darth Vader ring. Get one today, because Vader is disturbed by your lack of fashion. It’s stylish and bold just like the Sith lord himself.

The Dark Side has never looked so stunning. This ring announces to the world that you are a badass and are not afraid to show it. Now if you just had some Stormtrooper rings, your fists could cause some real trouble, like punching a snowbank and pretending that you are invading a Hoth base. Or putting on a little puppet show with your fingers.

You can get it for $84.99(USD) from Amazon. The Force is always in fashion.

Star Wars Light-Up Lightsaber Pens brings the Force to the classroom

lightsaber-pensGoing to school does have its fair amount of pressure among the students, as well as the kind of perception that society and advertising companies place subtly in their minds. One aspect of my schooling years that I absolutely loved was the fact that I could get a new set of stationeries at each new year. Don’t you find it liberating that you can write with a brand new pen or pencil at the start of a new term? Why not let your little ones do so in style with the $19.99 Star Wars Light-Up Lightsaber Pen, where you can pick from all three by forking out $49.99.

Not only do these unique Lightsaber Pens work like a regular writing instrument, they are also capable of lighting up just like the real deal. The thing is, they cannot cut through any physical material or organic matter, since these are not the actual Jedi weapon from the space opera that we have all come to know and love. The light within will light up at the press of a button or when you write, but do take note that the batteries within are non-replaceable, so it would be best to use the light up feature sparingly.

Lightsaber Umbrella’s

Lightsaber umbrellaThis is yet another item you must add to your Star Wars collection. A lightsaber umbrella is perfect for the rainy days of spring. You can choose between three different sabers (or umbrella’s if you prefer to call them that). If you are feeling a little Jedi during the rain, you can choose either the Yoda or Obi-Wan. Yoda has a green shaft while Obi-Wan has a blue shaft, both have the Jedi insignia on the umbrella. If you not feeling the Jedi love that day, you can always choose the Darth Vader version the difference being it has a red shaft and the Imperial insignia on the umbrella. Which ever one you choose, you will certainly feel a little more powerful over the rain than those other guys walking around without an umbrella.

Star Wars Sarlacc Toilet Decals: the Gross Is Strong with This One

A couple of years ago Robbie Rane and his friends were making up funny euphemisms for taking a dump. One of his buddies contributed “Toss Boba Fett in the Sarlacc.” The joke got stuck in Robbie’s head like pudding on porcelain, until one day he could bear it no more and decide to take the metaphor literally.

With the help of illustrator Alyssa Scott, Robbie made a set of stickers that will make a toilet bowl look like the Great Pit of Carkoon. Along with Boba Fett – the bounty hunter, not Robbie’s friend’s poop – the set also includes stickers of Han Solo and Chewbacca saving Lando Calrissian.

LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler is Official

A few years back, LEGO builder Marshal Banana created an incredible Star Wars Sandcrawler model. Later, the model would find its way to Cuusoo, but never quite got to the point it needed to go into production. Now, it looks like LEGO has managed to finally release its own Sandcrawler kit, though it’s not as epic as the 10,000 piece original.

LEGO’s version of the Sandcrawler is about 1/3rd the number of bricks, at 3,296 pieces, but still looks pretty awesome. Part of the Ultimate Collectors’ series, the model is quite large, and has plenty of room for minifig Jawas and droids inside. Overall measurements for the vehicle are 18″ (L) x 9″(H) x 6″ (W).

It’s got a number of moving parts, including a ramp on the front that can be raised and lowered with the turn of a knob, a droid-lifting crane, and even has that vacuum sucky thingy for lifting up droids.

While its treads aren’t motorized, they can move when pushed across a surface, and they can be steered too. Here’s hoping someone figures out a way to hack a motor in there.

The set also comes with a number of minifigs, including four Jawas, Luke Skywalker, Uncle Owen, C-3PO, R2-D2, R5-D4, and four other droids. It even comes with some spare droid parts, because that’s what Jawas do. Below is just a sampling of the minifigs included:

LEGO expects to ship the Sandcrawler this May, and it will sell for $299.99(USD) at shop.lego.com.

This is definitely the Lego Star Wars Sandcrawler I was looking for. It’s not as massive as the fan built vehicle that every Lego and Star Wars nerd in the world wanted, but with all its moving mechanism and seven minifigs, it’s a must have. Its character and construction seems well resolved. Check out the pictures and the video, because it’s really cool.

Super Mario Wars Episode 4: A New Shirt

Coolest Star Wars/Super Mario Bros. T-Shirt ever? I think so. This T-Shirt takes the original Star Wars poster and mixes in some Mario fun. Mario is a master plumber with dreams of adventure and he is about to meet his destiny.
mario warsmagnify

This shirt takes place in a galaxy far, far away and features Mario, Peach, Luigi and Toad and of course, the evil Darth Bowser. Mario has never looked so heroic, but our Princess is in another Death Star.

It was designed by Creative Outpouring, but for some reason it has disappeared from their RedBubble page for the moment. Hopefully, it’ll return soon. And stay tuned for the sequel, Bowser Strikes Back.

AT-AT Rocking Horse

AT-AT Rocking Horse  You know how we are crazy for all things Star Wars, right? Well, here is another example of creativity at its finest. Jen over at EPBOT got an incredible idea to create an AT-AT rocking horse from scratch. Why would one want to take on such a task as this when rocking horses are not the kids dream toy these days? Because she can!

The picture above is of the project in the beginning stages the finished project is shown below. As you can see from the finished result she put a lot of time and effort into this. It sounds like she will be posting the pattern for the rocking horse on her site soon. Also, if you are interested in this one, she is working with Florida Garrison of the 501st on having a silent auction at Megacon in Orlando, FL on March 21-23.
