Now, lets not pretend that movies are be-all end-all for movie studios. With some movies and even video games, they opens an opportunity for studios to sell you boatloads of merchandises that will make you rethink of your house choice. This couldn’t be more true for Disney-owned Star Wars franchise. Call it an exploits or whatever, Lucasfilm and Disney announced, last week, this year’s Star Wars product launch day, dubbed Triple Force Friday.

This Keycap Set Replaces English With Star Wars Aurebesh Language
Am I the only who feels that any Star Wars movies after the first trilogy will never be as epic? Let me be clear that Disney has nothing to do with the sub-epic standards.

Hulkbuster x R2-D2 Mash-up Action Figure Is Pure Genius!
What you see here is a Hulkbuster x R2-D2 Mash-up Action Figure that has been getting some quite a bit of attention on the Internet. As you can see. Artoo here all pumped and set to smash. Those Imperial hoodlums wouldn’t stand a chance if R2-D2 was looking like he has gone through an unimaginable number of intense gym sessions. Or was he on Android-steroid? Whatever it is, I sense the rage in him is very strong. He could squash anything that comes his way. Continue reading Hulkbuster x R2-D2 Mash-up Action Figure Is Pure Genius!
Who Would Have Thought A Fallen AT-AT Makes For A Cool Tape Dispenser?
Who would have thought the Empire’s AT-AT could be so cool as a desk tidy? We never knew AT-AT’s wide and varied applications – even when it has fallen, it turned out to be a super dope tape dispenser too. The Star Wars AT-AT Tape Dispenser is not articulated, though. It is made of resin and serve as a beautiful desk sculpture of sort, as well as a grim reminder that this imposing walker had a very deadly achilles’ heel, which incidentally is at its heel/lower limbs section. Continue reading Who Would Have Thought A Fallen AT-AT Makes For A Cool Tape Dispenser?

Most Halloween costumes are based on creatures, personalities, and maybe robots, but we never heard or seen any kid dressing up as a vehicle, let alone a spaceship, for trick-or-treat. Well, that’s until now. Andrew Guy is a loving father who did just that, i.e. he made a vehicle costume. Guy built an Imperial Star Destroyer costume over a bicycle for his son Aidan. As you can see, while it may not be practical, this ‘costume’ is pretty damn impressive with the lights and all.

The Cost Of These Iconic Pop Culture Structures Will Blow Your Mind
Movies don’t show everything. While motion pictures tell some story, they never detail everything like for example, whether super villains eat, or do they bathe or poop, and they certainly won’t give you a hint of what it took to build the Batcave or Hogwarts castle, and how much real world money they would cost – if they were to be built in this non-fictional world.
