Yoda Approves of This Dagobah Terrarium Does He
If you want your frogs, lizards, and other cold-blooded creatures to undergo their Jedi training, this is the perfect place for it. They will enter as humble pollywog padawans and emerge as powerful swamp Jedi. Aside from not having any Luke and Yoda figures in here, this is an awesome habitat for frogs and the like.

Guy Rides a Logging Machine Like a Rodeo Bull
Mechanical bulls at fairly horrifying and can even potentially kill you. Riding real bulls is even crazier. You know what is crazier than that? Trying to stay in the saddle while the mechanical arm of a logging machine is trying to throw you off of a log that it’s waving around like a conductor leading an orchestra.

Star Wars R2-D2 Journal: The Notebook You’re Looking for
This R2-D2 journal is really the perfect way to smuggle plans for the Death Star. If you don’t have an R2 unit, this is the next best way to transport sensitive information. Sure, it isn’t digital, but if you get caught you can always tear the page out and eat it.

Hats off to Boba Fett with the Boba Bowler

Hats off to Boba Fett with the Boba Bowler
We always thought that Boba Fett was a true man’s man. If he grew up in the Victorian era, he’d be a proper gentleman, and he’d wear this hat. This Mandalorian bowler hat is made by the the folks at The Blonde Swan, and it’s truly awesome.

China’s Weird Iron Man Statue: Iron Mac?

China’s Weird Iron Man Statue: Iron Mac?
China has some amazing statues, but this Iron Man statue is… weird. It looks like a McDonald’s version of Iron Man that would scare kids when ordering their Happy Meals. It also looks like an Adventure Time character stole Tony Stark’s suit and is about to lay waste to the Candy Kingdom.
