Dragons are a staple of fiction and are found in books, video games, and movies. The fire-breathing dragon is something that never existed as a real animal, but you can have your very own flying dragon.

After seeing Rick Hamel’s amazing remote-controlled dragon, Hammacher Schlemmer is now offering it for you to purchase.

This dragon can do more than fly, it can shoot 3-foot flames out of its mouth. That can’t be legal. The flying dragon has a 9-foot wingspan and can fly at up to 70 mph. Power comes from a tiny turbine engine and the dragon is controlled by a 2.4GHz radio. The flame that shoots from its mouth is made using a propane tank. At least the propane tank can’t shoot flames while the dragon is flying. The flames are only for the ground.

I can only imagine the fiery explosion that will result from a high-speed crash of this thing. If you have $60,000 lying around, the flying, flame-breathing dragon can be yours.

Remember that AT-AT rocking horse that we all wanted, even though it wasn’t even painted or detailed? Well, now it is finished. Behold the rocking horse for young Imperial forces in training.

This was one of the coolest kids toys we had seen in some time and now that it is finished, it looks even cooler and we want one. Cakewrecks and EPBOT creator Jen Yates has finally finished this masterpiece and it has all the right details.

She added a seat back and an extra sturdy T-bar handle for safety, along with some extra-long bumpers on the bottom rails to prevent it from rocking too far. To quote Vader, “Most impressive!”

Even a lazy, couch-bound weekend watching House of Cards requires some amount of sanitary effort. Those soda puddles, empty ice-cream containers, and various tetanus hazards can’t dispose of themselves, right? Right — unless of course you have a fleet of …

When my son was really small I probably pushed him 1000 miles in his red and yellow Little Tykes Cozy Coupe. I also flopped over the top of that little car a few times when the front wheels randomly stopped working at speed. If you have fond memories of these little toy cars, you might want to check out the street-legal version you can ride in now that you are grown up.

The car was made by a guy named John Bitmead. The builder says that he spent 1000 hours and about £4,000 (~$6m500 USD) on the project. The car started out as a Daewoo Matiz, has an 800cc engine inside of it and is street legal. It has a top speed of 70mph.

I don’t see how this thing can actually be street legal. I wouldn’t want to be in an accident in this thing, even though it has airbags. Check out the videos to see the car in action.

Keanu Reeves is one of the many celebrities who have been turned into a meme. The Sad Keanu meme came to be a couple of years back after someone snapped a picture of Keanu sitting alone on a park bench, looking particularly downcast. While Keanu explained that he’s not sad or depressed, the meme lives on.

And now it lives on in another form: a 3D printed figurine.

Now fans, Redditors, collectors, and absolutely anyone who finds the meme amusing can own a figure of Sad Keanu to play with, display, or take pictures of in all sorts of weird scenarios and set-ups. Check out the images below for a sampling of what has been done so far with the Sad Keanu 3D figure.

You gotta love the internet.

The 3D printed Sad Keanu figure is available from Shapeways for $45(USD). Cough up the cash or print your own!
