The Cylon Teddy Bear Mark 1 was created by Instructables user Dragonvpm, probably to scare his girlfriend! He actually did create this as a Valentine’s gift for his girlfriend.

It says “By your command” and has got that creepy LED eye scanner. If your significant other has a sense of humor and likes science-fiction, well this might be a great gift to make for her. Check out his full Instructable guide on how to create yours.

I think this is a fun weekend project for Battlestar Galactica and Caprica fans. Heck, it makes me want to buy a teddy bear and try the mod myself!

This frightening little guy sits on your dashboard and uses GPS technology to point you in the direction of your destination.

The Navirobo GPS teddy bear from iXs lifts his animatronic paw to show you which direction to go. If you miss a turn, he’ll point it out (I wonder if it laughs at you too?) When you get to your destination, he’ll do a little dance, at which point you can take it, throw it out the window and run it over with your car several times.
