What's Your Obsession

I’ve been linked to this one from a few people, you know how when you make models, you’re left with all the plastic outside parts? Someone decided to put them to great use, check the detail image under the cut.

The 501st, for those not aware, are a group of guys that do pretty awesome Star Wars costumes. They decided to do a huge charity auction of custom stormtrooper helmets at the Star Wars Celebration convention (which I unfortunately haven’t attended yet) and raised an absolute ton of money. Check out all the helmets here. [...]

Now this is an ambitious project right here given the size and quality, I just wish it wasn’t limited to 3 in total! This is one of the coolest ships from any anime ever, as well as one of the most memorable. If I had the money, and weren’t completely inept at building kits (for [...]

I’m not sure if I find these godawful looking or cool, but I do know I won’t be able to afford them, since they’re a custom with a limited run by Diversitile. I will admit, the arc reactor is a super nice touch.

There’s certain franchises that have so much merchandise that you simply get fed up with how they’re willing to slap their product on everything. Star Wars passed that long ago, but Star Wars does have one pretty unique edge on most other overmarketed franchises…sometimes they’ll come out with something so hilarious and downright awesome that [...]

Now I’m not the biggest fan of Left 4 Dead, but I can appreciate a hilarious plush when I see one. Best of all, it has sounds! I’m looking at this thing and it’s so hilarious looking, if I was swimming in cash, I’d totally pick him up. If anyone’s interested in ordering him, he’s [...]
