Artist Creates Spaceballs Pizza the Hutt Toy Playset

Posted on by

Handcrafted in the style of vintage Kenner Star Wars toys, Retro Custom Art’s andytdesigns made this Spaceballs Pizza the Hutt action toy playset. Andy imagines the toy was made for a national Spaceballs x Pizza Hutt line of toys that were released to the public. I don’t know about you, but I need this in my life. In my office specifically, but only because I know my wife won’t allow it on my nightstand where it actually belongs.

Andy has also made several other custom Spaceballs action figures, most of which are available in his Etsy and eBay stores for around $50 – $75. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the Pizza the Hutt playset for sale (I dug deeper and found out he’s not selling it and only made it for an upcoming art show), which is a shame because that’s the one I wanted the most. Granted, I wouldn’t be able to afford it even if it was listed, but a boy can dream. I’m going to be a space ranger when I grow up!

I guess I’m left with no choice but to make my own. And if my version just so happens to be an actual piece of pizza with a pair of googly eyes stuck in the cheese, so be it. It’s not like my apartment doesn’t already have a rodent problem anyways.

LEGO Luke Skywalker and Yoda Dagobah Training Playset: Do or Do Not Buy

Posted on by

Master Yoda training Luke on Dagobah: it’s an iconic movie scene. And what better way to immortalize Luke’s struggle to gain control over the Force than with an official LEGO set? I can’t think of any. Come on, Luke, lift that X-Wing out of the swamp – you can do it! No? Dammit, Luke, Darth Vader is your father!

The exactly 1,000-piece set will retail for $79.99, and you can pre-order it on the LEGO site now. It includes Yoda’s modest hut, a large Gnarltree, Luke’s X-Wing peeking one of its wings out of the swamp, as well as Luke, Yoda, and R2-D2 minifigs. Remember when Yoda made Luke carry him around like a backpack? That was my favorite part. My cousins make me do the same thing for them.

There’s no question this will make a lovely addition to all the other Star Wars LEGO sets I already own, which is all of them. Yep, all 700+ of them. Can you believe there are so many Star Wars LEGO sets? My wife sure can, especially when she’s trying to navigate absolutely anywhere in the house without stepping on any.

How adorable is this Baby Yoda and Mandalorian themed Travel Mug and Thermos?!

Posted on by

Marking 45 years since George Lucas gave us one of the most immersive universes science fiction could ask for, these Star Wars-themed drinkware from Corkcicle is sure to get the geek within you excited! The Corkcicle X Star Wars range spans a variety of drinking vessels and popular characters (check out this R2D2 and C3PO combo), although nothing quite matches the charm of this 12oz cup and 20oz canteen modeled on Baby Yoda and Mandalorian – two pieces of drinkware that don’t just go together functionally, they even honor their references in size and proportion!

Designer: Corkcicle

Designed to be abstract yet instantly recognizable, the Baby Yoda travel cup comes with the color palette of our favorite tiny alien (it’s a tough choice between Baby Yoda and Baby Groot), upon which sits its lid with two outward-facing adorable ears built right in!

The Baby Yoda Travel Cup is best paired with Corkcicle’s Mandalorian-inspired 20oz Travel Canteen, which comes made from triple-insulated stainless steel (just like the Baby Yoda cup). The insulated design even means you can comfortably hold onto the outer surface without the internal heat or coldness radiating to your skin.

Both the 16oz canteen and 12oz travel mug come with caps that seal your drink shut, keeping them warm or cold for hours at an end. They’re BPA-free, and even sport silicone-lined bases to ensure they don’t slip around or scratch tabletop surfaces by accident. As for the drinkware themselves, they’re made from durable stainless steel with shatterproof lids and finishes/paint-coatings that are scratch-resistant and dishwasher safe… although they’re probably not lightsaber-proof.

Three Wise Stormtroopers ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil’ Figurine Set

Posted on by

Being able to buy a Star Wars-themed version of everything: it’s one of our inalienable rights as human beings. And to prove that is this Three Wise Stormtroopers figurine set made by Nemesis Now and available on Amazon (affiliate link). The three stormtroopers embody the traditional Japanese proverb “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” and look quite sharp doing it if I say so myself. That armor looks clean enough to eat off of.

The officially-licensed stormtroopers stand approximately 7″ tall and are cast from resin and individually hand-painted. It’s probably wise they went with individual hand painting instead of trying to paint all the figures at once. I imagine that would take a level of ambidextrousness previously unheard of.

These are going to make a great on my bookcase, which, incidentally, is entirely filled with Star Wars collectibles and no books, making it more of a Star Warscase. So, which one of the figures is your favorite? Mine is the ‘see no evil’ trooper because it reminds me of how most stormtroopers must aim.

Star Wars Severed Luke Skywalker and Wampa Hand Magnets

Posted on by

Adding to Regal Robot’s Separation Collection, the company has introduced two new magnets: a severed Luke Skywalker hand holding a lightsaber and a severed wampa hand. These are joining the previously posted tauntaun head magnet that was the first in the collection. Am I gonna catch ’em all like Pokémon? I’m pretty sure my fridge would hate me if I didn’t.

Each magnet costs $30, is cast from solid resin, and hand-painted by Regal Robot’s artists. Can you make a special request for some blood splatter on the wampa arm? No, unfortunately, you’ll have to add those finishing touches yourself once the magnets arrive.

In the coming months, the hands will soon be joined by yet another addition to the collection, which from the image above is very clearly a severed C-3P0 arm, and not Jar Jar Binks’ severed head like you might have guessed if you’re a terrible, but wishful guesser.

Stormtroopers Playing Poker Figurine: Betting on The Empire

Posted on by

Because when it rains, it pours stormtroopers, hot on the white-booted heels of yesterday’s stormtrooper bookends, comes this figurine of four stormtroopers playing poker. So, if you were ever wondering what stormtroopers do in their time off from missing targets and holding books up, apparently it’s play cards. And from the look of things, one player has his blaster at his side ready to ‘Han shot first’ the rest of the gamblers in the event he loses. High stakes!

Created by Nemesis Now and available through Merchoid, the figure is cast from poly-resin and hand-painted. It measures approximately 7.2″ tall and is sure to be a conversation piece at your next get-together. Presumably, a conversation that goes something like, “Wow, there really is a market for Star Wars everything, isn’t there?”

Will stormtroopers playing poker be the new dogs playing poker? I doubt it. But did that stop me from buying a truckload of these figurines hoping to resell them on eBay for a profit? No, sadly, my credit card being declined did. Apparently, you’re supposed to pay them back monthly.

Stormtrooper Bookends: Hopefully Better at Holding Books Than Aiming

Posted on by

Because if they can’t hit the broad side of a barn with their blasters, they should at least be good at something; these are the Stormtrooper Bookends made by Nemesis Now and available on Amazon (affiliate link). Congratulations, you two; based on your inability to hit even a single rebel on Endor, you’re on book detail from now on. Try not to screw this up too, or it’s the garbage compactor for you.

The officially licensed bookends are cast in resin, hand-painted, and stand approximately 7.5″ tall. They feature the likeness of two stormtroopers trying their hardest to keep your books upright and avoid the inevitable Force choke from Vader if they fail. That’s a lot of pressure.

I think these stormtroopers will compliment your existing AT-AT bookends nicely. And you do already own a set of those, right? Who doesn’t? Granted, I don’t own any books and use them as napkin holders, but I’ve always been more of an eater than a reader.

Star Wars-inspired travel thermos + mug celebrates 45 years of Hollywood’s most iconic robotic duo

Posted on by

The year 2022 marks 45 years since Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope appeared on the silver screen, and nearly half a century since George Lucas introduced us to two of the most beloved robots to ever grace pop culture. To celebrate that momentous occasion (along with the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back), Corkcicle debuted an entire collection of Star Wars-inspired barware that’s sure to geek up your kitchen! While the collection spans all of Star Wars’ memorable characters, our eyes instantly fell in love with the C3PO canteen and the R2D2 stainless steel travel cup – two pieces of drinkware that don’t just go together functionally, but they even honor their references in size and proportion!

Chewbacca ‘Pillow Pet’ Is The Stuff of Nightmares

Posted on by

Created in the likeness of everyone’s favorite Wookiee, the Chewbacca Pillow Pet Jumboz Plush (affiliate link) is the perfect companion for a young child that you never want to sleep again. I think it’s the vacant, dead eyes that really do it for me. They should have at least put teddy bear eyes in those sockets. Shoot, anything but those pitch-black, soul-stealing caverns.

The pillow measures approximately 14″ x 14″ x 14″ and unfastens to reveal the 30″ x 30″ stuffed Chewbacca mat/rug you’ve always dreamed of. In pillow form, though he looks like a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Wookiee, with the face of a snub-nosed monkey. My goodness, that face. Did I mention the eyes? I’ll be sleeping with a night light on tonight for sure, I don’t care if my wife makes fun of me.

Admittedly, I just bought one. But I am going to hot glue googly eyes on Chewie the moment he arrives? Yes, and if those googly eyes ever happen to come off and I see him without them, well, let’s just say it won’t be the first time I’ve ever smelled burning Wookiee fur (campfire accident on Kashyyyk – should have listened to Smokey).

Death Star Ball Bearing Maze: That’s No Moon

Posted on by

Because who hasn’t ever dreamed of participating in the Battle of Yavin (aka the Battle of the Death Star), Paladone has created this Death Star Maze. Sure it’s absolutely nothing like flying an X-wing and battling the Galactic Empire but use your imagination. A lot of it. Use every last bit of your imagination, and then some.

Available from Entertainment Earth, the $17 maze consists of the upper half of a Death Star with a transparent outer shell and plastic labyrinth inside and a small ball bearing to guide towards the super laser in a full 360-degrees of getting lost and frustrated. Or, if you’re really using your imagination, as I suggested, you can pretend the ball bearing is an ion torpedo, and you’re trying to guide it through a thermal exhaust port leading to the reactor core. I’ll even call you Luke Skywalker if it helps in this little fantasy of yours.

Tried solving the maze but struggling to finish? No problem, do you own a hammer? When all else fails, smack it with a hammer – that’s one of my mottos. Along with ‘You can never have enough duct tape,’ and ‘Honey, have you seen the Band-Aids?’
