Borg Cube and Picard Plushies Must Be Assimilated

Because Kidrobot refuses to stop taking my money, the toy company is releasing a $50 combo plushie pack featuring an LED-lit Borg Cube and Locutus of Borg (the Borg designation for Captain Jean-Luc Picard after his assimilation in 2366). Obviously, these will be perfect for cuddling during a weekend-long Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon.

The Borg Cube features LED lights that glow green when turned on to “create the perfect ambiance for assimilation.” I didn’t know there was a perfect ambiance for assimilation, but you learn something new every day. The top also opens to reveal a hidden compartment inside, large enough for storing Borg Picard. Like a genie in a bottle, except a Picard in a cube.

I’m surprised I even have to go through the motions of buying stuff like this; you’d think Kidrobot would just automatically deduct the cost from my bank account and ship them when they’re available. I guess they’re probably just unsure how many of a particular product I want. Which, in this case, is all of them.

Star Trek TNG Picard Facepalm Bust: Oh the Stupidity!

Sometimes people just say stupid things. They do it a lot, actually. What can you do, aside from sigh and facepalm? Captain Picard feels your pain. He’s had to cover his face and wince in embarassment on a more than a few occasions himself. Now you can own a bust of Picard doing exactly that. Whenever life throws something stupid at you, just look to Picard and let him do the facepalming on your behalf.

Just put this 6″ tall Picard bust on your desk and enjoy. This awesome bust is limited to an edition size of just 1602… which actually just made me facepalm, because it should have been 1701. I already need this bust. In fact, I’m not going to let Picard be the only one to do it either, I’m gonna facepalm with him when someone tests my patience. Because a twin facepalm is better than one when your patience is at it’s thinnest.

Put this bust on your desk, your game table, your ready room, bridge, anywhere. Because life comes at you fast, you never know when you’ll need it. You won’t be alone anymore because Captain Picard has your back. This limited-edition bust is a ThinkGeek exclusive, and is selling for $64.99. So don’t miss your chance to get yours, or else you’ll be facepalming about your decision.

Batman and Captain Picard Fight Aliens: Prometheus: First Contact Rises

The team-up you never thought you would ever see has happened. Batman and Captain Picard fighting Aliens in a cave. This is the best piece of nerd art that you will see all day.

picard batman aliens 620x269magnify


Picard has his phaser, Batman his batarang, and the aliens are closing in. A few questions though. Why can’t Jean-LucĀ just beam out of there? How did the two of themĀ get together? Did the Enterprise crew travel through time, or a rip in space? Does this make Picard Robin? If so, why isn’t he wearing his tights? Mostly I want to know how this ends!

This amazing piece of art from Jimsmash is simply the best.
