A lot of cars now come standard with sensor tech that can notify you when another car or object is in your blindspot, but what if you could do the same while riding a motorcycle? That’s the idea behind RONIN, a technologically advanced helmet for riders who take their safety seriously.

The smart design is equipped with an array of depth=sensing camera tech and radar to provide the rider with enhanced awareness of their surroundings, speed and other metrics. Better yet, it has an augmented reality, head-up display so they can stay focused on the road ahead instead of glancing down at an instrument cluster on the handlebars. Not only for side blindspots, wearers can maintain awareness of their entire surrounding with intuitive notifications that pop up on the visor to indicate traffic, hazards and even the weather.

This Ronin Samurai Boba Fett was sculpted by artists Takeyuki Takeya and Junichi Taniguchi. Look at that armor. And those colors. This may be my new favorite action figure. Boba’s EE-3 rifle has been turned into a flint-lock style blaster and the missile on his back can be removed or re-attached. Also, that helmet-mounted scope is movable.

Lastly there’s the short ninja-style sword and sheath, as well as several ninja-style blade accessories that can be attached to his shin and forearms. I need this figure. It will release in January 2016, but you can pre-order it now for $89.99(USD).
