It’s Easter Sunday, and by now, people all over the world have decorate eggs for the holiday and for the coming of Spring.

Over the years, the egg designs have gotten pretty intricate. An Etsy user allonsyalonso7 designed some Doctor Who-themed eggs, using such imagery as the TARDIS and suits with bowties. Check out the image here above [...]

If you’re familiar with the Hellraiser movies, you might be interested in getting one of your very own Puzzle Boxes (formally known as the Lemarchand’s box). There are currently several being offered online, including this Hellraiser Rubik’s Cube variety; there’s also a bunch offered on Amazon.

I grew up on the Hellraiser movies, so I have been and always will be scared as hell of having one of these near me – I wouldn’t want to inadvertently summon Pinhead and the Cenobites and get ripped to shreds by chained hooks, thanks (although I am tempted to get this adorable Puzzle Box Pull Chain – but you see, that’s how it starts, with temptation!) [...]

The official Facebook page for The Hobbit film trilogy has posted a photo of a DIY project from their selected “Fan of the Week.”

The fan, named Lauren, created a crocheted doll in the likeness of Bilbo Baggins, the title Hobbit in the films.

Check out the photo of the doll here below [...]

Jason Babler, one of the art directors for Diablo 3: The Book Of Cain has taken his passion and hobby and combined them, making his own custom sculpture of Azmodan from the Diablo III universe. His sculpture is just breathtaking.

The sculpture stands at an impressive 17 inches tall and the base for the ‘Lord of Sin’ is 2 feet across. The detail on this piece is absurd – from the multiple texture types to the in-depth coloring and shading of Azmodan himself. Even his his mouth, eyes and magical orb all light up courtesy of miniature LEDs.

I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try and I came across one recently that ties into one of my favorite new comics, Skullkickers. The Skullkickers crew proudly gives us the recipe for Skullkickers Stew & Dungeon Dumplings. Check it out here. It sounds like a thick and hearty recipe, with plenty of meat and veggies. And even if you don’t feel like partaking of this particular dish, reading the recipe is funny enough on its own, and is also a good indication of what the series is all about.

If you haven’t read Skullkickers yet, I recommend it. It’s a funny take on the fantasy genre featuring two mercenaries, a human and a dwarf, and all the misadventures that they get into. The series features hilarious dialog from Jim Zub and some great art from Edwin Huang. The art and color on the series make the series feel like an animated TV series. Skullkickers #13 came out last month and is a great jumping-on point as the boys take to the high seas. The issue’s recap page will give you all the information you need, although you’ll want to read the whole series at some point because it’s just too much fun [...]

So, I just told you about today being Record Store Day, where a bunch of special vinyl releases are available throughout the world at local record shops.

But in order to actually PLAY a vinyl record, you need a record player – or a turntable.

And wouldn’t it be awesome to have a Star Wars-themed turntable to play all your KISS Destroyer records on? (OK, I need it for all my old KISS albums; maybe you need it for your new limited-edition 7″ Coldplay record.) Anyhow, check to the image above of an R2-D2 Turntable, which is totally awesome [...]

Remember the crochet Boba Fett hat we featured in our Easter Headgear Guide?

Well, if you plan on getting that hat, now there’s a Boba Fett Coffee Travel Mug Cup Cozy that makes a perfect little match for it!

Etsy user Little Popos has created a Star Wars-themed eco-friendly handmade crochet knit sleeve that can fit over your coffee travel mug to use instead of a paper sleeve [...]

Although Easter is just around the corner, there’s still a bit of time for you to make your own holiday treats, like, for instance, Chocolate Zombie Bunnies!

Bummed out by missing out on Think Geek‘s Chocolate Zombie Bunny, the folks over at Criminal Crafts decided to make their own — and with great success, I might add.

Head over to Criminal Crafts for instructions with photos on how to make your own Chocolate Zombie Bunnies. The image here above is a crop from one of their photos [...]

As a life-long lover of all things Luthier, as well as all things Whovian, I believe I just discovered exactly who I’m going to see when I am ready for my next guitar.

Arthur Yet Lew.

Our magnificent mate Craig Hurle, who runs the Doctor Who and the Tardis community page, pointed us toward this awesome homebrew The Doctor Who Tardis Guitar, aka the GuiTARdis, acoustic guitar that Lew crafted. I then spent a good hour drooling over it whilst imagining all the gigs I would crash throughout space and time… Hendrix at Monterey; Crosby, Stills & Nash at Woodstock; Queen at Live Aid; The Beatles at Shea Stadium…. what, with with the power of the TARDIS at my very fingertips [...]

As far as snow creatures go, the Wampa Ice Creature from Star Wars: The Empires Strikes Back and the Bumble, the Abominable Snow Monster from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, are probably the most popular. So, it’s not so surprising that someone would want to pit the two monsters against each other.



The Sugar Swings baking blog decided to do so by whipping up a few batches of Wampa and Bumble cupcakes. The results are pretty awesome [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have my fair share of Star Wars ornaments hanging on my Christmas tree. But this one is real adorable.
