You might have to be a die-hard fan to get ‘Star Trek: Picard’

Bronze Edition Picard Facepalm Bust for the Classically Stupid

Posted on by

A few years back we talked about the Star Trek TNG Captain Picard Facepalm bust. Picard gave Star Trek fans many things to like and perhaps the most Picardian thing he did was usher in the facepalm meme that we all find useful when someone does something so stupid that words fail us.

The first facepalm bust was painted to give it a more lifelike look. At least as lifelike as a statue with only one arm can look. This version has a more elegant bronze look. It’s not real bronze mind you – that would be too swanky. It’s still made from resin, just painted to look bronze and tarnished.

The point is if you work with a bunch of stupid people, this will save you some time. Just point to the statue and shoo them out of your office. The bust will set you back $69.99 on ThinkGeek.

Add This Picard Action Figure to your Collection: Make it So

Posted on by

When it comes to Star Trek, I am Team Picard. That said, I do like the new Star Trek films as well. Action figure collectors and Star Trek fans will want to add this impressive Jean-Luc Picard action figure to their collection.

QMX’s photo-perfect action figure of TNG’s Captain is 1/6th scale (12″ tall), and it’s not cheap at $199.99. But the figure is incredibly-detailed, with screen-accurate Starfleet uniform, more than 30 points of articulation, and comes with several interchangeable hands and weapons.

One of those appears to be the flat facepalm hand that memes are made, as well as a cup of tea, earl grey. The figure is available now at ThinkGeek or direct from QMX.
