jin saotome, action figure customizer extraordinaire

Dr.-Mc-Ninja-custom-action-figure

I don’t know if he’s the action figure counterpart of console modder Ben Heck, but the customizer who goes by the moniker Jin Saotome does have an extremely long list of modified or custom made action figures. While most of them are Transformer mods/creations, I like his G.I. mods, where he mixes parts together to…

world’s largest lego mario up for auction: its’a huge

worlds_largest_lego_mario

This unbelievable bit of geek art is purportedly the largest LEGO block statue of Mario ever created. It sure looks like it to me. And it’s definitely WAY bigger than this one.

The mammoth LEGO Mario was created by Dirk VH, and is made up of over 40,000 individually placed bricks. All in all, Mario…

Ah, kids; sometimes you just wanna hug ‘em, just give ‘em a good old one-handed hug, and then punch their little heads in with…

optimized prime: customized revenge of the fallen optimus prime toy on ebay

custom-rotf-optimus-prime-1

Just about the only thing good about the recent Transformers movie are the new versions of our beloved Autobots and Decepticons. Although I’m sure some of you will say that even the new designs suck. Also the movie changes POVs and angles every nanosecond so we hardly got to appreciate the designs anyway. Stupid cinematography. Aaaaaanyway.…

$15,000 1989 collector’s item legend of zelda… plate. as in the one you put food on.

legend-of-zelda-plate-1

Millions of people around the world are starving, and will probably kill themselves for food. Wait that doesn’t make sense. You know what else doesn’t make sense? That someone out there thinks he can charge $15,000 (USD) for a plastic plate. Actually I’m not sure if it’s really plastic, it could be ceramic but whatevs.…

batmobile tumbler go-kart: for dark squires

go-kart-batmobile

The Tumbler in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is arguably the most bad-ass version of the Batmobile ever.  It’s a damn stealth tank is what it is. Now, thanks to auctioneer tully712, you can have your own Tumbler. Sort of. A tinier version. A go-kart Tumbler, to be precise.

It also can’t be put…

atari 2600 portable/luggable: the stella-tubby

atari_2600_portable_stella_tubby

Well, this all-in-one Atari 2600 mod isn’t exactly what I’d call “portable”, but the guy who built it certainly deserves props for creativity.

This hacked-together Atari 2600 Portable goes by the name “Stella-Tubby” – which does a good job summing up its less than svelte form-factor as a handheld gaming console. Retro-modder Nonogadi built out…

my little ponies from silent hill

silent hill my little pony custom pyramid head

I’m undecided on the custom My Little Pony phenomenon. Every time I want to like it, I see something completely outrageous like these Silent Hill ponies. Pyramid Head does not inspire love in me. Well, maybe a little, in a twisted way.

There is nothing about this picture that doesn’t disturb me on some level. Look at…

kojima-signed gunmetal gray ps3 on ebay: won’t be there for long that’s for sure

kojima-ps3

It’s a sad day for seller/mgs fan/sad person ids3remix, as he put up his limited edition gunmetal gray 40 GB Playstation 3 for sale on eBay. I think he really needs the money, stat, or else he wouldn’t be selling his beloved console. For those who don’t know, Sony made only 9000 of the gunmetal…

gta-kubrick-set-1

Rockstar’s money-printing Grand Theft Auto series racks up millions because it successfully blends a free & open world with gripping stories; anyone who’s into video games knows how hard it is to find – or make – a game that does good on both counts. Like all good stories – whether in book, video or game…
