I like powered USB hubs, but that doesn’t mean that cute and portable ones can’t be useful too. Check out the Poodle USB Hub that looks like your favorite four-legged friend, but has enough USB ports to keep your gadgets connected when you’re on the go.

The Poodle USB Hub has enough room to plug in four USB devices into cables, which make up the dog’s “legs,” and its eyeball lights up when it’s in use. Assuming you like poodles, I can’t think of a better USB hub for you.

You can get your Poodle USB Hub online from Fred Flare for $16(USD).

This custom-made mini WALL-E is made out of various LEGO parts, and manages to capture his essence perfectly, despite the fact that he’s only made out of a handful of bricks, and stands just three inches tall. He’s even got a tiny little plant to carry around and protect – though I don’t see his cockroach pal anywhere.

LEGO WALL-E was made by Mariann Asanuma, a former LEGO Master Model Designer from LEGOLAND California, who now runs Folded Fancy Creations, offering all sorts of cool LEGO objects over in her Etsy shop.

While it’s decidedly more menacing than WALL-E, I particularly like her LEGO Boba Fett Ornament – too bad I didn’t know about that in time for Christmas. The little bounty hunter would have looked nice on our tree. Well, there’s always next year, I suppose.

All of these cute little Star Wars characters were handmade by Etsy artist Liberty Kraftz, and the collection includes everyone from Luke, Leia and Han, to R2 and Yoda. Each one measures between about 2 inches and 4 inches tall, and are made from fuzzy wool. Those are all sweet, but the gooey (and now hairy) Jabba the Hutt has to be my personal fave…

Han is tiny Bantha fodder for sure. Or at least he’ll be frozen in carbonWoolite. You can find all of these guys over at Liberty Kraftz Etsy shop now, where you can grab them up for $18 each.

I think my favorite button-eyed Becky character is Sonic. No it’s Link. Nah, Bub and Bob! Wait it’s Pikachu. Screw it, they’re all my favorites. I can keep all of ‘em anyway. I would wear the crap out of a button-eyed Pikachu T-shirt though.

Check out Becky’s deviantART page or Tumblr blog for more awesome art, button-eyed or otherwise. There is at least one piece there that is not kid-friendly, so be careful. No, it’s not a button-eyed pedobear.

Bearman?

Stormtroopbear?

Captain Ameribearn? You get the point…

Julius likes his cute little bears so much that he drew a bear a day for a year. You can find the archive of his project here. You can find out more about the illustrations and designs Julius does over at his blog, or peruse the 365 bears that he created for his King PanPan project here.

A company could make a whole line of products based on this gimmick alone. Why stop at gummi bears? What about fried chicken scented earbuds, coffee scented earbuds or bacon scented earbuds? We can do this all day.

You can buy the Gummi Bear Scented Earbuds from Fred Flare for $18 (USD). I wonder how long the scent lasts. I wonder if it blends well with sweat.

Overflying closely the “crapgadget” category, the Audiobot is a cute speaker that can wear a striped knit ski beanie on its head. Why? To keep its head from catching a chill? It seems to me all it would do is distort the sound. Anyway, the thing can connect to any music player thanks to its 3.5mm jack, and charges via USB to give you enough juice for 4 hours of playtime.

You can get the Audiobot Speaker from Urban Outfitters for $16 (USD). Hats off, I say.

The toy camera’s innards were not replaced – it has a resolution of 3 megapixels and can store 80 images.  It’s case was made to look more respectable is all. Schfio Factory better get to work on this one too.[via PetaPixel]

That’s Okamiden hero Chibiterasu, and he makes Pikachu look like a pee-stained pillow. Look at those chubby wubby feet. That itty bitty nosey nose. If you don’t like this puppy then there is no hope for you. I bet if Okamiden turns out to be Nintendogs but with Chibiterasu, it’ll still sell a million copies.

The poster was made by Pixxiv member Kinniku. Unfortunately I can’t link to the artist’s profile because I’m not registered to Pixxiv, but you can find a mega-sized version of the art at The MMN Network. Again, scroll down slowly.[via Go Nintendo]

Those aren’t fighters; they’re hawk food with glass bowls over their head.

Slippy’s much more adorable in that form though. You can order the Do A Barrel Roll! T-shirt at Threadless for $18 (USD).

I wonder if it’s bookmarked Technabob. Get ‘em started early, I say.

I don’t think I would last long playing this game though; the bright colors and the ever-changing planes would make me barf. But that’s a point against me, not for ilomilo.

Dawwwwwwwwwww. They even have a sort of companion cube! Check out the game’s official blog for more screenshots and concept art. Not so much information about the gameplay though. I sincerely hope those cuddly antennaed avatars don’t die in the game.

The decals are made with Avery MPI vinyl and are supposedly very easy to clean or remove. The problem? They kinda obscure the keys. The rainbow design shown above is actually merciful compared to the other designs, which will have you vomiting with color shock or too much cuteness before you can find the key you want to press.

So if you want to let your keyboard special, get these decals at openclose’s shop at Etsy for $15 (USD) each.

Watch as Peppy demonstrates the cause of half of the world’s problems:

Until his programming changes, Peppy’s going to be one frustrated robot. Of course, Peppy’s creator Patrick Goebel could just give him some extra arms.

Each pattern sells for $3.50 (USD), but you can order any two of them for $6, or go Pokemon master and catch ‘em all for $26. Go to LucyRavenscar’s Etsy shop to place your order.

Don’t know how to crochet? Well then learn! Too lazy to learn? Previously featured Geek Central Station is selling actual Star Wars amigurumi, although LucyRavenscar’s creations are a wee bit cuter because they have mouths. Teeny tiny smiling mouths.

This Rilakkuma netbook is actually a tablet as well, although the Japanese like to call it a UMPC. It’s got a 8.9-inch touchscreen, 60 GB HD, TV Tuner, DVD drive, 1GB RAM, and two USB ports. It comes with a webcam, SD card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth. And teddy bears. Eating pancakes.

The most important thing for the target audience is that this Rilakkuma netbook comes with a bunch of pre-installed Rilakkuma wallpapers, super-cute icons and screensavers. The best part is that when users turn on the webcam, they can choose to see their faces in five different virtual Rilakkuma picture frames!

It will go on sale in Japan at the end of June for around ¥90,000 (appx. $990 USD). If you want it, you’d best contact Japan Trend Shop or Geek Stuff 4 U for help.

D.Bluemoon isn’t a fan of WoW herself, so her boyfriend was the one who chose the words and terms.

If I had one of those onesies when I was a kid mine would have said “Lil’ K.T.”

But if the wearers get within “hugging distance” of each other, all of the heart containers fill up! Awwwwwwwwwwww, what a cute way of getting you to buy two shirts at once. Love (and radio frequency detection) at work.

You can get the 8-bit Dynamic Life shirts at ThinkGeek for $18 to $25 (USD) per shirt (price varies depending on size); in addition to everlasting love, you need to 3 AAA batteries for each shirt. But what if your special someone is a something? ThinkGeek’s got you covered – instead of buying another shirt, you can get a Transmitter Pack. Place it near your blow-up doll favorite object and watch your life max out when you get near it.

I was very, very, jealous.

But the toy gods pitied me, it seems, and commanded Insomniac Games to sanction Ratchet & Clank figures for the masses. And while they aren’t quite as stylish as those in-house vinyl figures, DC Unlimited’s line is still charming. According to Sony’s PlayStation blog, the figures are already being sold at various comic book retailers. Now if only I had any clue where the closest comic book store to me was…

There are four sets in total for the series 1 Ratchet & Clank figures: armored Ratchet and Mr. Zurkon, Captain Qwark and Scrunch, Dr. Nefarious and Zoni, and of course, Ratchet and Clank themselves. Considering all the variations of Ratchet & Clank (armor, weapons, upgrades, etc.) more series lines are to come. I hope.
