TARDIS Cube: Doctor Rubik

Over the years, I’ve seen my fair share of unusual Rubik’s Cubes, as well as plenty of TARDIS goodies. But I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen a TARDIS Rubik’s Cube.

Ok, it’s not official Rubik’s-branded merch, nor is it a cube, but it’s still a TARDIS and it is a puzzle game. At the end of the day, it’s not even a very complicated puzzle, with a grid of just 2 x 2 x 4 blocks. Though when you start moving all of the pieces around, it does seem to get bigger on the inside, so it’s got that going for it.

This Tardis Cube was designed by Shapeways contributor Gus, and is available as a 3D printed model for about $51 (USD). Though it doesn’t come in color – you have to order it in white and then dye it and apply some labels yourself. Maybe someday Gus will design a full-color version, now that 3D printing tech is fully capable of doing that. On the other hand, you could use this model to make your own TARDIS in any color you’d like. How about a golden TARDIS? Or a hot pink one? You could even decorate the cubes in the colors of a traditional Rubik’s Cube.

TARDIS Soda Machine is Sweeter on the Inside

Looks like the TARDIS’ chameleon circuit is sort of working now. The TARDIS still looks like a phone box, but at least it was half-successful in trying to disguise itself as a soda vending machine.

This is actually the work of some pretty talented nerds who had both a love of soda and a love for Doctor Who – both of which can not be quenched. Epic Comics in Orlando, FL took their boring old soda machine and converted it into this awesome TARDIS.

I guess this means that there is a Doctor inside who feels like he is in a time loop from hell; damned to roam the endless halls of the TARDIS in search of cans of pop at every push of the buttons, before walking back to the door and dropping them in the slot for your enjoyment. Good work. Finally the Doctor has been outsmarted. Not to mention enslaved. You guys are evil! But I love it.

Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock

The Doctor is in… especially if you are a huge fan of the Doctor Who series. Well, I am quite sure that you will not find it difficult to wake up from your sleep in order to catch an episode of Doctor Who on TV, but sometimes, getting up from your bed so that you can arrive at your office on time is far more of a Mission Impossible than anything else. Perhaps you would need something from the world of Doctor Who to help you be fully awake, and what better way to do so than with the $39.99 Doctor Who TARDIS Projection Alarm Clock?

Yes sir, you will be able to face a brand new day in style with this TARDIS-shaped timepiece, where you can tell the time after it has been projected against wall or onto a ceiling, bringing it well into the 21st century. In order to up the realism ante, it will flash some light, while TARDIS noises will play for the alarm. Just make sure you have a trio of AAA batteries on hand always to keep this bad boy going, otherwise you will still be late for work as the alarm fails to go off – simply because it ran out of juice. That’d be a bummer now, wouldn’t it?

TARDIS Blanket is Warmer on the Inside

When you don’t have a TARDIS with which to travel through time and space, the next best thing might be a TARDIS shaped blanket. Instead of walking into the TARDIS and hitting some controls, you can just get in and pull this blanket over your head and let your dreams take you to distant alien worlds for adventure.

This blanket was made by Kristi from RainyMondayTumblr. It’s over 7.5-feet-long and has some nice extra touches. The windows and light glow in the dark, and the light itself was made with sparkly fabric. This thing took about two months to make.

The person who received this blanket is one lucky so and so. I wish I could sleep in it. With Amy Pond preferably.

TARDIS Wedding Cake: Wibbly Wobley Wedding

Here’s a joke for you. If the Doctor got married, what would the TARDIS look like on the inside? Clean, without Mountain Dew cans all over the place, floral arrangements on the console, no drinking from the milk carton and the Doctor wouldn’t be allowed to put his feet up on the furniture anymore. See, because he’s married. Tough crowd.

This fun Doctor Who wedding cake was created by the Imaginative Icing Bakery for some lucky couples’ nuptials. The Daleks represent the bitter fighting of wedding guests as they battle over the last pieces of cake.

We wish the couple all of the happiness that a TARDIS can hold.

Doctor Who Dress Truly is Bigger on the Inside

I never thought that it was possible to make a TARDIS dress that is actually bigger on the inside, but just like science, the internet eventually makes all things possible.

[Insert joke about entering the TARDIS and fiddling around with her circuitry here.]

The cosplayer you see wearing this awesome TARDIS dress is Sasha Trabane. It was painted by Andy Coyle for the recent Arisia science fiction convention in Boston, MA. Needless to say, it won two prizes at the event.

I think it is safe to say that this dress can not be outdone. But of course, the internet will surely find a way. And when it does, we will share it with you.

TARDIS Police Call Box Has an Actual Phone Inside

Do you still use a landline? If so, you are one of very few left. But it’s a great excuse to buy yourself this TARDIS phone. This touch-tone phone in a phone box isn’t any bigger on the inside, but it is still pretty timey-wimey.

Tardis Phone Booth with an Actual Phone Inside
And it won’t call Gallifrey or anywhere else in the universe for that matter, but you can call your friends on Earth. But if you get a call that sounds all electronic and they are asking for someone named “Exterminate” I would just hang up, disconnect the phone and run. Just run. And don’t look back. Also, don’t blink. Just in case.

The TARDIS phone will cost you £59.99 (~$96 USD) from Victormorris.com.

I Wish This TARDIS Jewelry Box Could Hold Infinite Treasures

Store your jewelry and other treasures in the geekiest way possible: in this TARDIS jewelry box. While its space is virtually infinite in Doctor Who’s realm, that doesn’t apply to the TARDIS recreations on Earth. But even though we all have to deal with finite space and compartments, I’m sure this will be more than enough for whatever you want to store inside it.

TARDIS Jewelry BoxIt might look like a huge drawer in the pictures, but it only measures about 7 1/2 inches tall, while it’s 5 inches wide, and 2 3/4 inches deep.

Some people prefer jewelry boxes that only have one major compartment, but I like the fact that this one has six. This way, I can segregate my jewelry and accessories by category into the different drawers.

This particular TARDIS jewelry box is already, unfortunately, all sold out, but you can contact Destry over at pzcreations22 on Etsy to see if she can make another one for you.

Doctor Who Tardis Play Tent

You know what they say as a man grows up – he might not be playing with little green army men made out of plastic any more, but would have moved on to big boys’ toys. Some of these could be rather expensive, while others are affordable, such as the $89.99 Doctor Who Tardis Play Tent. You can be sure that the little ones in your home too, would not be able to resist playing with this, but you can kindly ask them to move out so that you can check out the 11th Doctor’s control room all by yourself. Not only that, since it is made out of sturdy canvas construction and stand at nearly 6 feet in height, there is plenty of space in there to hook up with other Doctor Who fans should you erect this at your backyard the next time you host a party in your home.

If you do not want to place the Doctor Who Play Tent outside of your four walls, place it right in your living room, it would not mind such a position, either. Entering it, you are able to use your imagination as to what goes on within the four canvas walls. Once done, just fold it back and it can be easily stashed away in the storeroom without taking up too much space. Of course, you might want to have some heart for the little ones and let them play in it from time to time, right?

Doctor Who Watch: Timey Wimey on Your Wrist

If you are looking for a watch that will keep track of time here on Earth, but you want to be as stylish as a Time Lord, check out this new Doctor Who watch, out just in time for the show’s 50th anniversary.

doctor who watch
This is not your average watch, though. The hands look like sonic screwdrivers and the TARDIS flies around a vortex at its own pace.

tardis animation

All of your Whovian friends will be jealous when they see you wearing this. The only thing that could make it better is if it actually summoned the TARDIS to your location on command. Sadly, it doesn’t have that feature, but it will still look awesome on your wrist.

It’s only $49.95(USD) from GadgetsandGear. These will probably go fast, so head on over there and buy one before they vanish into another dimension.
