Guitars come in all shapes and sizes these days and some people are really pushing the art form. This beautiful homage to that scruffy looking nerf herder’s brief (if you consider the 3 years between Empire and Jedi brief) stint in carbonite comes from Travis Stevens, who built this frozen Han Solo guitar for Evanescence co-founder Ben Moody.

This is one fine droid guitar. Look at that amazing detailing. This custom built R2 guitar by Doug is simply amazing. Why can’t we buy stuff like this in guitar shops?

Flickr member Julian Fong aka levork makes custom minifigures that look like they were released by LEGO itself. Over the last one and a half years, Fong has been working on a set of Street Fighter II minifigs.

The popularity of mobile music players has given rise to a variety of Bluetooth speakers. Some of them cater to sporty people, others with more modern or minimalist tastes. I guess Josh Marlar went with a, shall we say, ultra niche market: demons.

Which is the sexiest lightsaber ever? Luke’s? Vader’s? Darth Maul’s? I reject that last one on principal, simply because it was in the prequels and the lightsaber battles sucked so bad. No, this custom double-bladed beauty right here is the sexiest ever as far as I’m concerned.

Parking? Where we’re going we don’t need to park. When going to the future, you might as well travel there in style, with this stretch DeLorean limo. The only problem is, getting it up to 88 MPH in the first place.

Ok, I know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, but that title sounded good so I went with it. We’ve seen plenty of unique guitars, but this long monstrosity is pretty strange. It was created by Rhinehart of Athens, Ohio who sculpts and paints all kinds of eccentric and fully-functional guitars.

Jeffrey Stephenson’s latest computer is a work of art based on a work of art. The Mondrian mini-ITX case is of course named after Reginald Mini-ITX Case, who invented the – wait. Wrong timeline. In this universe Stephenson appropriated the style of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, known for his minimalist and abstract works.

It’s always good to have a backup plan. Take Iron Man for instance. What if your rockets should be in the shop or run out of fuel and the Stark limo is not available? Well, you had better have a second mode of transport.

Have you ever wondered what it might look like if Batman piloted an X-Wing and destroyed the Death Star? Sure, we all have. I imagine it would look something like this.

Pokemon Onesies are not unheard of – I’ve seen them on plenty of infants.  But, my friends, a revolution has come.  This revolution is called Pokemon Onesies for adults, and it is here to stay.  At least until society judges you, but then you can just move to Japan, where you would be welcomed as a GENIUS!  

Here’s a guitar fit for some heavy metal rocking all night long in Skyrim. This chrome metallic dragon ‘Draco’ guitar comes from Emerald Guitars and it is awesome looking. It’s also fully functional.

You need an accessory if you are going to wear your Pip-Boy 3000 and I can’t think of anything better than these sneakers. Whether you are traveling to New Vegas or just one of the many vaults, they should get you across the American wastelands safely and still have some nice tread on them.

Check out this amazingly awesome custom Mechagodzilla lamp complete with assault rifles. He reminds you to turn your light off when you leave the room. Or else.

When Microsoft decides to do a custom car, you can bet it’s going to be packed with all sorts of technology. Microsoft teamed up with custom car modders West Coast Customs on the design and dubbed the car Project Detroit.

This is the crossover that I had no idea that I wanted. Darth Vader and Batman. Inspired by Malmey Studios’ awesome Darth Knight costume that was going around last year, custom modeler John Harmon is responsible for this action figure mashup of Gotham’s guardian and the Dark Lord of the Sith.
