Start Your Own Alien Invasion with These Foam Space Invaders

Posted on by

Space Invaders: they’re a bigger threat than most people realize. But don’t take my word for it; it’s not like I have top-level government clearance and know what goes on behind the doors of Area 51. I only pretend I do on dates. Available from Etsy shop Thunktronix, each bag of ‘Sooo Many Foamy Space Invaders!’ includes 70+ foam cutouts of the iconic video game characters so you can stick them to the walls all over your house. Or somebody else’s house, go wild!

Made from EVA foam, the sprites measure approximately 1″ – 3″ wide and are going to be a welcome addition to my bubble baths. Oh no, the aliens are coming! Pew pew, pew pew pew! I’ll be having so much fun I probably won’t even notice the water has long gone cold, and I’m all pruny.

Did I mention a bag only costs $10? That means for $100, you could have over 700 Space Invaders! That’s a lot of Space Invaders. Probably too many, to be honest. But don’t let me stop you from following your dreams; you do you, space ranger.

Knitted Chicken Hats: Chick Couture

Posted on by

Because no chicken should have to cock-a-doodle-doo with a cold head, Etsy shop ChixStitch is selling these knitted chicken hats with ties for your fine feathered friends. They look cozy, don’t they? I don’t even own any chickens, and I’m tempted to buy a few in the event life throws me a curveball in the form of live chickens I need to mother. Hey, stranger things have happened.

Available in a variety of colors, the chicken caps are priced at a very reasonable $6.95. Granted, I’m saying that’s reasonable, but I’ve never been in the chicken hat buying market before, so I really have no frame of reference. Sounds fair enough, though. I’m going to knit a human-sized version for myself, so I can match my potential future chicken children!

Couple them with some chicken arms, and your poultry will have never looked so good! Of course, if you own more than one chicken, you are required to buy arms and hats for them all, so they don’t get jealous and… peckish.

3D-Printed Arms for Pet Chickens Give Them Real Chicken Fingers

Posted on by

Do you raise chicken? Do you feel strongly that they wish they had arms? Well, now you can buy them a whole variety of different style arms thanks to the numerous 3D printing shops on Etsy. It’s 2022, everyone! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder, they still manage to.

Arm styles available include t-rex, velociraptor, regular human arms, muscular Hulk arms, arms with hands giving the middle finger, Captain America arms with shield, arms with a chainsaw for one hand, arms with boxing gloves, and arms with hands that can hold small plastic weapon accessories. What a time to be alive and living next to Old McDonald!

A chicken wears the arms via a flexible plastic band that loosely hugs the chicken across its back. I don’t even own any chickens, but now I wish I did so I could put arms on them and run around the yard playing tag. Or maybe they call it “peck.” The problem is, arms or no arms, I really don’t want them waking me up at sunrise. I like to sleep in. Ideally until the weekend.

Denture Shaped Hex Bit Holder: Open Wide!

Posted on by

Because nightmares come in all shapes and sizes, this particular bad dream happens to come in the shape and size of a drill and screwdriver bit holder that looks like a pair of dentures. 3D printed by Etsy seller MacGyverDood, $50 will get you a pair of empty dentures, and $70 will get you the dentures with a 100-piece screwdriver and drill bit set so you can fill it with your most frequently used “teeth.” I don’t even own a pair yet, and I’m already afraid to go anywhere near my tool chest.

Available in a variety of different colors, the dentures hold bits in each of their 28 tooth holes (plus an extra in the floor of the mouth because why not?) thanks to embedded neodymium magnet magnets, so your bits won’t fall out when you don’t want them to. Of course, if you ever catch your dentist reaching for a full-size drill bit from their denture bit holder, it’s time to swing that spotlight at them and make a run for the door.

Am I going to buy one just so I can put the drill and screwdriver bits under my pillow to see if the tooth fairy will bring me a dollar? Yes. Will it work? I suppose that depends on how poor the tooth fairy’s vision is. She doesn’t fall for pebbles or pieces of chalk, though; I do know that.

T-Rex Skull Tape Dispenser: Add a Little Dino to Your Desk

Posted on by

Make no bones about it, this t-rex skull tape dispenser is officially the coolest tape dispenser I’ve seen. Made and sold by Etsy shop Meow3DStore, the 3D printed dispenser is available in a variety of colors and sizes (standard is a surprisingly large 5″ x 4″ x 3.6″) and is really going to bring a touch of prehistoric times to my office, which I feel it’s been missing. Plus a desk and a chair.

Seeing one in a person’s hand really puts its size into perspective. This isn’t your grandma’s tape dispenser! I mean, unless your grandma is 66-million years old and used to hunt dinosaurs, then she might use an actual t-rex skull for a tape dispenser. Hardcore!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been more excited to wrap presents this Christmas thanks to my recently purchased t-rex skull tape dispenser. And not just the gifts I bought myself, but mostly the gifts I bought myself, because I know what I like.

These Fuzzy Cartoon and Video Game Character Helmet Covers Are Born to Be Wild

Posted on by

Riding a motorcycle: part of the whole image is looking cool. And what’s cooler than a fuzzy Pikachu or Yoda head helmet cover? I can’t think of anything. Granted I don’t ride a motorcycle because I never learned how to ride a bicycle without training wheels, but balance is a tricky thing.

Available from Etsy shop FunnyHelmetCovers, these fuzzy faces are available in a variety of characters from cartoons and video games and range in price from $48 to $70 depending on the complexity of the design. I want one that makes me look like Donkey Kong so it makes sense when I throw barrels at tailgaters.

I’m personally tempted to buy the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Leonardo design, and I don’t even own a motorcycle helmet. Although – I do have an unusually large head. My wife likes to joke me about it, but I tell her it’s so big because there’s so much brain in there. Then we both have a good laugh knowing just how untrue that really is.

Giant Tarantula Plush Pillows: Arachnophobes Beware

Posted on by

Crafted and sold by the very appropriately named Etsy shop LifelikeSpiderArt, these extra-large Spider Sleeping Plushes are just the thing to add a bit of ‘what in the hell?’ to your bedroom. Obviously, they’re the perfect pillows for letting a lover know they may be killed and eaten before sunrise.

The black plush spiders measure approximately 60″ and the white ones 75″. They’re all are covered in faux fur, so you don’t have to stay up at night worrying that any actual tarantulas were harmed in their production. The legs feature flexible wire-frame paws for posing so you and your spider can sleep in just the right position at night. They also cost $860 – $980, leading me to believe I may just be better off taking my chances buying a giant spiderling from Hagrid.

I’m going to buy several and pose them in various stages of attack around the bedroom. How cool will that be?! According to my wife not very, and I can already imagine her making up the bed in the guest room to sleep in from now on.

Freddy Krueger Fire Pit Is the Stuff of Nightmares

Posted on by

One, Two, Freddy’s coming for you… Three, Four, better lock your door… Those simple words still send chills down my spine. After all, Freddy Krueger is one of the scariest villains in the history of horror flicks. Those of us who grew up watching A Nightmare on Elm Street and its sequels had a hard time sleeping after worrying that Freddy might come to visit us in our dreams. Now, Freddy is back and ready to take up residence as a waking nightmare in your backyard. Only this time, he’s on fire!

UK artist Burned by Design makes this custom Freddy Krueger fire pit that’s sure to give your neighbors pause before stepping across the property line. The 33″ tall wood burner features Freddy’s nightmarish visage, complete with scars and burn marks, his beady eyes, and jagged teeth backlit by fire. Flames belch forth from his trademark hat while his steel-bladed glove beckons you to come closer to the flame.

If you’ve got about $1500 burning a hole in your pocket, you can order your own Freddy Krueger fire pit from the Burned by Design shop on Etsy.

This Bed Lets Kids Sleep Under an Imperial Walker

Posted on by

Can you imagine waking up every morning and looking up to see an Imperial Walker towering over your head? Well, if you’ve got $8500 lying around, your kid could experience that thanks to the guys at Tiny Town Studios. These guys create all kinds of amazing custom builds, from pirate ships to giant alligators you can walk through.

This awesome handmade bed lets kids sleep between the legs of an AT-AT while imagining they’re flying along the snowy surface of Hoth in a T-47 Rebel Airspeeder. Of course, you wouldn’t your kid to be lying beneath this thing when it came crashing down, so it’s best not to try wrapping its legs with a tow cable.

The bed appears to be twin-size, but I’m sure with deep enough pockets, you could convince Tiny Town to build you a version with a bigger bed underneath. I want a California King with enough room for me to roll around on it my AT-AT pilot costume. Or better yet, can I get a version with a ladder, and the bed is inside the AT-AT? And rig it up so the legs move and I can stomp around my neighborhood this winter when there’s snow on the ground.

Display Your LEGO Minifigs in a Giant Minifig

Posted on by

Do you or your kids like to collect LEGO minifigures? You could leave them scattered around the room where you could step on one, or the dog could try to eat them, or you could store and display them in a more appropriate place. This oversize wood minifig display is perfect for organizing and showing off your favorite LEGO figures.

The $36 wall display is made by Alabama Etsy shop JEMWorXCo using premium 1/2″ baltic birch wood and holds up to 19 figures. Each of its little cutouts is just the right size to hold a minifig along with accessories like their tiny hats, though I’m guessing the sombrero on my Mariachi Maraca Man Minifigure won’t fit.

The only thing better would be if they made a huge version that held the 200+ minifigs I have littering my basement, but I guess I could just buy a dozen of these, and that would look pretty awesome too.
