BB-8 USB Desk Fan: Fan-Droid

Posted on by

Do you love BB-8? Then you’ll love this desk fan that looks just like the adorable little droid. He’s still got his wobbly little head, but his body has been replaced with an orange-bladed fan.

The rotund droid plugs into any spare USB port for power, and possibly to steal the plans for the Death Star if you’re keeping those on your laptop. Apparently SEGA gave away some of these as prizes in their Japanese game center’s last year, and now you can just buy one outright without pumping their machines full of Yen.

It should be available by June, and you can preorder one now over at NCSX for $26.90(USD).

The Best Star Wars Swimwear

Posted on by

Everybody loves Star Wars! It’s one of the biggest franchises in history and of course it’s spawned all kinds of merchandise, from spin-off movies and TV shows, to countless toys and action figures, books, household items, and my favorite, clothing! There’s so much great Star Wars clothing out there and I’m here to share some of my favorite Star Wars swim suits!

I hope you love my picks, and always remember, there’s plenty more to look at!

Star War At-AT One Piece Swim Suit


This stylish one-piece is subtle and subdued, not overly flashy, but it’s understated appearance looks good at any pool or beach. The black At-At designs against the white backdrop make for a geeky yet still fashionable piece.

Star Wars BB-8 Boys Swim Trunks


The bright orange color is perfect for summer and it’s not too bright, as it contrasts with the dark blue background. BB-8 is a beloved, relative newcomer to the Star Wars series, at the cute little droid made his first appearance in Star Wars Episode 7. No wonder he’s already so popular, I mean, just look how adorable he is on these swim trunks!

Star Wars Ship Men’s Swim Trunks


I know these are the only swim trunks for adult men I’ve included, but they are the best I’ve found. The space ships are cool looking and any man wearing these will still feel fashionable without being too nerdy.

Star Wars C-3PO and R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


I love the print on this swimsuit! It looks like a scene straight out of the movies and it’s a beautiful image. Also, who can resist C-3PO and R2-D2? They are such a great duo!

Star Wars Logo Bikini


Okay, I know this is the only bikini on the entire list. I love bikinis, don’t get me wrong, but when looking for something to show off my love of Star Wars, most bikinis don’t have enough fabric to properly show off the love. (They’re better for showing off skin.) Anyway, I thought this bikini, with its simple Star Wars logo definitely shows off a proper amount of geekery.

Star Wars Stormtroopers Boys Swim Trunks


Blue is my favorite color, so of course I had to include these awesome swim trunks! The color is gorgeous and what little boy doesn’t want to wear a stormtrooper print? These trunks are seriously great!

Star Wars Retro Boys Swim Trunks


Technically, these trunks aren’t retro, but I’ve called them that as the design just looks so 70s inspired. It looks like a pair of swim trunks that a boy would be wearing at the pool right after watching the original Star Wars movie in 1977; just look at the images of Chewbacca and Darth Vader and the rest of the gang. I’m a huge fan of retro designs, so these swim trunks are a huge winner.

Star Wars R2-D2 One Piece Swim Suit


Can you say cute? I know R2-D2 seems to be on almost all Star Wars merch, but he’s just such a lovable character, not to mention how great he looks as a clothing design. I love this one-piece swim suit. It’s sexy and adorable at the same time.

Star Wars Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Toddler Swim Trunks


After so many boys swim trunks, it was about time to feature trunks meant for an even younger age. These cuties are for toddlers and your tiny tot will be sure to look like the coolest kid at the pool. Look at the cartoony versions of Darth and the stormtrooper, they just get my heart!

Star Wars Girls Tankini


After featuring so many women’s suits, it was time to show a girl’s swim suit. This tankini is adorable and will show off your future Princess Leia’s love of Star Wars. She will be the coolest princess on the sands of Tatooine.

Star Wars Darth Vader One Piece Swim Suit
This might be my favorite swim suit on the entire list. It’s definitely something I could see myself wearing. Darth Vader may be evil, but while wearing this suit, you’ll look evilly sexy.

Star Wars R2-D2 Long Sleeve Swim Suit

Long sleeve? Odd choice, you may be thinking, but if you’re planning to go surfing, this might be a good option. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more modest or something to help you cover up on an especially burning sunny day. Whatever the reason is, this swimsuit, once again featuring our friend R2-D2, is a great choice.

I hope you found something to wear for a great day at the beach or pool and to show off your love of the wonderful Star Wars!

Spin Master’s BB-8 is still cute and you can get one this year

Posted on by
The cute spherical BB-8 was one of the many highlights of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Spin Master's near life-size replica of him was one of our favorite things about last year's Toy Fair. Unfortunately, 2016 came and went without seeing the ad...

Star Wars Sandwich Shapers: Sandwich Wars

Posted on by

Why serve your sandwich on ordinary bread, when it can look like Darth Vader instead? Hey, I made an unintentional rhyme. Thanks to the guys at Japanese geek toy company Kotobukiya, we now have some fun Star Wars sandwich shapers!

Simply stick your ordinary bread and fillings between the plates of these sandwich molds, press them together, and you’ll get a delicious Star Wars sandwich in a pouch. It’s like a DIY Hot Pocket – but not hot. I’m guessing it’s best for stuff like peanut butter and jelly sammies for the little ones. Or maybe stuff ’em some with nutella, and then hand ’em over to me.

Amazon has R2-D2, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Millennium Falcon, and BB-8 versions, though for some mysterious reason the prices vary wildly from about $9 to $19(USD).

BB-8 Measuring Cup Set Is Too Cool for the Drawer

Posted on by

BB-8 the little rolling droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens has proven to be very popular. He’s no R2-D2 in my mind, but he is cool nonetheless. We have seen plenty of BB-8 themed stuff since the flick hit theaters like that cool BB-8 tea set and the BB-8 waffle iron. This time out we have a set of BB-8 measuring cups.

bb8-1

The cups nest together to make a little BB-8 robot that sits on your counter. When your measuring cups look this cool, there is no need to put them in a drawer. There are six measuring cups in the set ranging from one cup down to 1 tbsp, and a hexagonal base plate that the cups nest into.

bb8-2

The measuring cups are made from BPA-free plastic, and you can’t put them in the dishwasher. That sucks because no one wants to clean oil out of a measuring cup after you make brownies. The set will cost you $19.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

Posted on by

bb8_pumpkin_2

This BB-8 jack-o’-lantern was carved by Magnetic Attitude and is illuminated from within by two separate light sources as well as a few flashing LEDs.

bb8_pumpkin_1

If I had the talent, I would make one of these to display. It looks spectacular even if it isn’t very spooky. I want to say something about Edgar Allan Poe Dameron, but I won’t.
