Cartoon characters: you can’t help but wonder what they might look like in real life. And now, thanks to a project by Brazilian artist Hidreley Leli Diao, we don’t have and can use that brainpower for more important things like trying to decide what to order for dinner.

Iron Studios has a treat for die-hard and deep-pocketed Dungeons & Dragons fans. The figure maker’s 1/20-scale Tiamat Demi statue features the legendary tabletop RPG monster as it was depicted in the franchise’s 1980s cartoon. Naturally, the statue also includes figurines of the cartoon’s six protagonists: Hank, Diana, Shiela, Eric, Presto, and Bobby (and Bobby’s pet Uni).

Because no home is complete without a life-size supervillain bust, Sideshow has teamed up with collectibles studio Tweeterhead to produce this full-scale Skeletor bust. The piece is available for pre-order for $1,000 and Sideshow expects to ship sometime between October and December 2021.

Inspired by a scene from a classic Tom & Jerry cartoon where Tom gets crushed paper-thin on the stairs by a giant Jerry, artist rugsoda has created an almost identical likeness of Tom in the form of this ‘Flat Cat’ stair-runner rug.

Some interesting teasers have been floating around on the web. These teasers show something from Nickelodeon that hints at a new cartoon network called “The Splat.” Even more interesting is that these teasers seem to hint at the entire network being packed with old cartoons from the ’90s.

Breaking Bad might be over, but that doesn’t mean Walter White’s legacy is. His image, influence, and being lives on in fans of the show who have been mourning at the end of the hit series.

South Park fans, start stocking up on your Cheesy Poofs and obscure references-turned-battlecries. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of the long-running animated series, have confirmed that they are working with THQ and Obsidian for South Park: The Game, a “full scale RPG” for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

We’ve featured a couple of geeky takes on the periodic table of elements, and I’m sure there are more lurking around on the Internet. But this version is a bit more special than the other ones I’ve seen, and not just because it features my favorite Sci-Fi staple – robots!

Anime fans know that what we know as Voltron is actually a mish mash of different animes. The first and perhaps most famous season featured five robot lions that combined to form (say it with me!)

I meant Pokémon in black and white. Awesome Steamboat Willie-inspired sketch by cartoonist Matthew K. Garner.

What every evil robot baby wants: a Mr. Masters poster, featuring 80 of the vilest Robot Masters that Mega Man has ever faced, mashed-up with Mr. Men characters. These cute villains were drawn by Steve Napierski.

The Mr. Bump alarm clock is very weird but also very appropriate: when its alarm goes off, you can turn it off by hurling it against a wall, or against any hard surface I guess. It’s a gadget that risks being destroyed in order to function, and yet it’s also a gadget that knows its users’ probable response.
