Look what I got for Christmas!

It’s a Star Wars Max Rebo Plush Battle Buddies Figure and I love it so much.

This little Max Rebo plush was in my Christmas Stocking and I didn’t even know it (Dave3 and I forgot to open up our stockings)!

Above is a picture I took of my new plush sitting on my bookcase.

There are other Star Wars Battle Buddies — like Yoda, Chewbacca, and C-3PO — but none of them are cute as this Max Rebo one [...]

A month ago, we wrote about a one-of-a-kind custom-made TARDIS bed that was up for auction in New Zealand with bids up to $4,200. If that’s something that caught your eye, then here’s something a little more affordable: a TARDIS door skin!

The people over at Fantasy Factor are selling this Doctor Who TARDIS door skin for $350 painted ($250 unpainted) right now, along with several other scifi-themed door skins.

If you’ve read the classic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel, Watchmen, or seen director Zack Snyder’s fantastic cinematic adaptation, then you’re familiar with the enigma himself, Rorschach.

Rorschach is a hero in most definitions of the word, out to rid the world of all the evil that taints it, though his methods are quite extreme and sometimes questioned. He stands out due to his iconic mask, a simple white with a blot of ink inspired by the psychiatric test of the same name that changes and moves depending on the hero’s mood.

You might have never thought you would read these words, but as it turns out, someone that goes by guinness0507 on YouTube figured out a way to make that very mask…WITH the ability to alter the “ink” as you wear it.

Be sure to head on over to the other side to see a brief video that shows you how you too can make your very own Rorschach mask from Watchmen. [...]
