Darth Vader LEGO Transformation Set: Anakin No More

Posted on 29/03/2019 by Shane McGlaun

When my daughter was little we got the boxed set of all the Star Wars films one Christmas. She didn’t like the original movies I grew up with, which I blamed on her mother’s side of the family. She preferred the new films, specifically the one where Darth Vader is saved from the lava planet and rebuilt into the iconic Sith lord.

If you or your kids like that movie, there’s a LEGO Star Wars set that has the getup that was used to create Darth Vader. The kit has several Vader minifigs in various stages of transformation and the medical bay where Anakin became the man-machine we all know and love.

Walmart has the 282-piece LEGO set on sale for $13.99 right now, which is $5 off the regular price.

Posted on 25/11/2018 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

Take your home from the Dark Side to the squeaky clean light side of the Force with the Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Samsung Powerbot Robotic Vacuums. Unlike real Stormtroopers, this vacuum never misses- any dirt- thanks to advanced mapping software and a full view sensor. You can schedule cleanings and check on it’s progress via the app.

These limited edition Roomba competitors have special Star Wars sound effects (like lightsabers and Darth Vader breathing) that activate when you give it various commands via the remote control. These vacuums integrate using WiFi with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and with more advanced controls via your smartphone and Samsung SmartThings. But best of all, they just look really cool.

Star Wars Darth Vader Clapper: Turn on Your Lights with the Dark Side

Posted on 16/10/2018 by Conner Flynn

Clap on, clap off. The Clapper! The Clapper was a pretty cheesy 80s invention that allowed you to turn your lights on and off by clapping. I’m guessing it hasn’t sold so well in recent years. How do we cure this? With a Darth Vader version of the clapper, obviously. Now Star Wars fans can use the power of The Dark Side to turn their lights on and off.

Force clapping (aka regular clapping) can now control your lights, and every time you use it you will hear the voice of Darth Vader. Clap on and he says “The Force is strong with this one.” Clap off and he says “You underestimate the power of the Dark Side.”

No worries about accidentally turning your lights off and on at the end of The Last Jedi when you and your friends applaud like crazy. That has never happened anywhere that I’m aware of. Just be careful when watching other movies that you don’t clap and turn the lights out.

This is a must for any geek who loves Vader and the original trilogy as much as I do. You can pre-order yours now from Entertainment Earth for $29.99, with shipments starting in November 2018.

Star Wars Gaming Chairs: For The Dark Side of Your Backside

Posted on 29/07/2018 by Conner Flynn

If the Dark Side played video games, these would be the chairs that they would sit their evil butts in. You can sit your butt in them too, regardless of which side of The Force you’re aligned with. Whether you are playing Star Wars Battlefront or watching the original trilogy, now you can do it in style.

These comfy looking Darth Vader and Stormtrooper Gaming Chairs are for fans who want to show off their love for all things Star Wars. The curvy, low-to-the-ground seats feature a plywood and hardwood frame with polyurethane, PVC, and polyester upholstery over a cotton cushion with foam fill. They each have four built-in speakers, Bluetooth 4.1 technology for wireless audio streaming, a control panel, and an audio output and audio input jacks.

They will cost you $335 each from PBTeen. Not bad for an Imperial chair. I would get both because Vader should always have a Stormtrooper sitting around to do his bidding. Obviously, these chairs are for serious Star Wars fans only, given the price and the fact that these are huge Star Wars toys to have in your home. I would love to get both.

Hot Toys Darth Vader Special Edition 1/4 Scale Figure: The Dark Side Wants Your Dollars

Posted on 23/07/2018 by Shane McGlaun

Of all the Star Wars characters, the most iconic is probably Darth Vader. Lots of people who grew up on the original films were super mad when the updated version was released and our man Sebastian Shaw had his face replaced with shitty Hayden “#NotMyVader” Christensen. Hot Toys made this amazing special edition Darth Vader figure that is gigantic, highly articulated, and #IsMyVader.

The premium figure is nearly 20-inches tall, has 30 points of articulation, and includes ten different hands. Of particular note is the removable helmet, so you can see Sebastian Shaw’s face just as you did in the original cut of the film back in the day when Luke takes off Vader’s mask. One of the coolest things is that with the helmet off, you can see the battle damage to Anakin’s head, something you really didn’t see in the original film (at least not on the back of the head).

Vader comes with his armor suit, black cape, chest panel with LEDs, a functional belt with lights, and boots. You get the iconic red lightsaber in three forms and a Death Star Diorama. The Special Edition includes a helmet stand with lights. The statue will set you back $575 over at Sideshow Collectibles, with delivery expected in Q4 2019.

LEGO BrickHeadz Darth Vader: Come to the Block Side

Posted on 11/07/2018 by Shane McGlaun

We all know that the Dark Side is where you can let your anger flow. We also know they have cookies, and now we now know they also have LEGO. In other words, the Dark Side sounds like a cool place to embrace. This LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz Darth Vader collectible is further proof that the Dark Side doesn’t seem so bad.

The toy is based on a real Vader from The Empire Strikes Back. You do have to build the toy, sort of like the Emperor built Vader after he got burnt up in Episode III. There are 104 pieces in this kit. It measures 4.75″ tall, 3.0″ wide, and 3.5″ deep.

You can order one from Entertainment Earth for $9.99 and it is in stock now.

Build Your Own Cardboard Darth Vader Costume

Posted on 14/06/2018 by Conner Flynn

This Halloween, there’s no need to spend a crazy amount of money on a Darth Vader costume. Anyway, it would just sit in the closet for the rest of the year. Instead, build yourself a cardboard Darth Vader costume. Japanese stationery brand Showa Note has created this inexpensive, do-it-yourself cardboard outfit that looks pretty cool.

You’re going to look awesome in this corrugated black helmet and chest plate. And guess what? It will only cost you about $36. I, this is probably the best last-minute costume you can buy, because it doesn’t look last minute. The Force is strong with this costume, it surrounds us, binds us…

Unfortunately, getting your hands on this outside of Japan will likely increase the cost significantly. Still, it’s totally worth it. This costume looks damn cool, no matter when you wear it.

Darth Vader Stovetop Kettle: Tea, Earl Grey, Dark.

Posted on 17/03/2018 by Conner Flynn

Need some hot tea to stay warm on Hoth? Are you an Ewok who wants to make hot tea from some humans? Maybe you’re a Stormtrooper on a break. No worries. No matter who you are across the galaxy, we have found your new tea kettle. Your stovetop is about to join The Dark Side.

The Star Wars Darth Vader Stovetop Kettle is styled to resemble the silhouette of the Sith Lord’s iconic helmet. In this case, his helmet has a lightsaber attached to its side that you can use as a handle. This bad boy is officially licensed and made of stainless sleel, and will boil 1.7 liters (about 7 cups) of water.

It makes a damn fine cup of tea that even Captain Picard would admire – and he’s in a different universe. Search your teacup, you know it to be true. “Your father’s tea kettle. This is the kettle of a Jedi Knight. Not as random or as clumsy as a standard tea kettle. It makes an elegant brew for a more civilized age.”

It’s just too bad they couldn’t make the whistle sound like Darth Vader’s breathing. Or even have him cry Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! But it’s still an awesome tea kettle that every true nerd must have. Grab one today over at The Fowndry for $70.

Make yourself some Darth-jeeling tea!

How does Vader like his tea? Burning hot! Although he doesn’t complain if it’s Luke-warm either…

The Fowndry’s hilarious, quirky kettle pays tribute to one of cinema’s most popular villains. Designed with a silhouette that uncannily resembles Vader’s helmet, the Darth Vader Kettle comes made in Stainless Steel and Plastic, has a 1.7L capacity, and a whistle that the creators describe as being powerful enough to “awaken the Force”!

We’re loving every bit of the adaptation, especially the handle that was designed to resemble the grip of Darth Vader’s lightsaber. Great for brewing up some tea or boiling water “with barely suppressed rage”, the Darth Vader Kettle is an officially licensed product and becomes available from the 19th of March, although pre-orders are open right now!
