If you’re going to look like a dork playing with a toy sword, you might as well be the biggest dork playing with the biggest toy sword. That’s exactly what happens with the Massive Cosplay Titan Sword, a giant sword for slaying your favorite imaginary dragons. We’re not sure if it’s the biggest toy sword you’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely the largest one I’ve ever laid eyes on. Measuring 60.5 x 10 inches (l x w) with a 45-inch [...]
With synthesizers and electronic keyboards (no, your Electronic Music Synthesizer Shirt doesn’t count), creating a mass of unique sounds from a single instrument is easier than ever. Of course, that also means you’ll be busying yourself not just with the keys when playing, but the lot of knobs, dials and sliders available on the console, as well. The Seaboard GRAND is a new musical instrument that lets you do everything without taking your digits off the keys. Made by [...]
When it comes to coming up with new recreational solo transporters, the classic scooter has been a favorite starting point for many companies. They’ve put tank treads on them, turned them into side-leaning electric machines and, basically, modified the classic into all sorts of fun ways. The JumpX isn’t as much about transport as it is about fun, turning the beloved kick scooter into a more exciting ride. Just like a regular kick scooter, the new toy can be [...]
Desktop speakers are, generally, underpowered affairs. After all, it rarely makes sense to blast your eardrums into oblivion while working on that website layout or sorting all the marketing letters from legit messages in your inbox. Still, a nice pair of speakers will be great when you want to listen to your Spotify playlist while hard at work or to check out that funny clip you got via email. The Nocs NS2 Air Monitors should prove ideal for the job. [...]
As equally geeky and tasteful as those Superhero Noir Prints are, you’re just not into dark, gloomy pictures hanging on your wall. You want classy geeky art replete with color to really liven up a room. If you’re a fan of Spock and the gang, then these Start Trek Fine Art Prints should make for a pleasant alternative. Know how it’s a terribly bad idea to hang illustrations of imagery from Star Trek if you want to get lucky at [...]
Those who like enjoying their hot coffee while doodling with chalk are probably weird people. Still, they have the Chalk Talk Mug made specially for them. If you’d rather construct LEGOs while enjoying your cup of java, though, the Build-On Brick Mug is exactly the drinking vessel you should get. Covered with nubs and holes designed to fit standard toy bricks, the mug makes for a completely viable LEGO construction platform. You can build whatever you want directly on the [...]
You always wanted action figures of your favorite characters from The Wire. But, alas, crime dramas (Walter White, notwithstanding) aren’t really prime candidates for getting the superhero merchandising treatment. If you have some art skills, though, maybe you can create your own bespoke characters using the Make Your Own Superhero Kit. While designed for letting you conjure your own superhero action figures, the set looks perfectly capable of letting you fashion figures of any character you want. Omar Little? Bottom-End [...]
I’ve never heard about Mechawhales before. Apparently, it’s a futuristic cartoon that features highly-intelligent psychic whales in robot suits that allow them to help defend earth against alien invaders. Sure, that premise sounds wonky, but the characters definitely look awesome, teetering that delicious line where entertainment and ridiculousness reside. And now, you can own one of them with this Infantry Mechawhale Action Figure. In the cartoon, Infantry Whales serve as the backbone of the Mechawhale army. Made up of sperm [...]
You already own a mini-garage full of papercraft trucks. And you’ve had your fill. Now, it’s time to get cranking on your own fleet of supercars. You can start with these Papercraft Pagani Zondas. One of the rarest sportscars ever built (only 206 Zondas have been produced throughout its 12 year run), this is the kind of papercraft project to bring prestige to your toy garage. Sure, it won’t get you hot party girls with low self-esteem the way the [...]
After months of rumors and speculation, Sony has finally let out official details about their upcoming next-gen gaming console. While we still don’t have any official pictures of what the Playstation 4 will look like (that will probably happen at E3 in the Summer), we do know a whole lot about it now. A full reboot of the ecosystem, the PS4 runs on a “simplifed and streamlined” platform that Sony claims offers developers much more room to play with in [...]
Along with the LEGO Technic Service Truck, the most awaited Technic set this early in the year has to be this LEGO Mobile Crane MK II. A beastly ten-wheeler consruction crane, it’s purported to be the largest Technic model ever in terms of piece count, with rumors estimating the set at over 2,600 building parts. There’s no remote or pneumatics, but it does come with power functions for the huge mobile crane, as well as 4-wheel steering (two front, two [...]
An upcoming set in the Galaxy Squad line, the LEGO Galactic Titan features multiple pieces both for the red and blue teams. For the blue team, you get an aerial space fighter, a ground attack vehicle on tank treads, and three soldier minifigs that you can use to invade a red team tower protected by centipede-like drones.

You’ve built yourself a wonderful-looking LEGO mad scientist island lair surrounded by shark-infested deep waters. Now, all you need is a proper coast guard ship to patrol your shores. The LEGO Coast Guard Patrol should do the job nicely. An elaborate coast guard patrolling system consisting of 449 pieces, it features a large ship, a speedboat, a helicopter and a lighthouse tower, so you can have your minifig crew patrolling the high seas from all potential threats. A boatload of [...]
The original debut of the N-Strike brought features that changed blasters forever. Last year, the Nerf N-Strike Elite line took those same blasters to a whole new level, bringing technology that really stepped it up on the performance front. From higher rates of fire to faster reloading to extreme range, it allowed for seriously more efficient dart fights. This year, Hasbro is injecting a healthy selection of new dart guns both in the N-Strike and N-Strike Elite lines. Full size [...]
The Spider-Man movie franchise is huge. We don’t know how big the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series is, but Spidey’s immense popularity probably trickles down to that show as well. The latest installment of toys made for the TV series from Hasbro have been announced and they include quite a generous selection. Ultimate Spider-Man Action Figures: Four sets of Spider-Man action figures will drop in the Spring, varying from tiny 3.75-inch miniatures to larger 12-inch toys. Core 6-inch Action Figures – This [...]
You’re always ready for a quick pickup soccer game. Soccer cleats? Check. Ball? Check. Shin guards? If necessary, not a problem. A goal that won’t fly off when you hit it with a hard shot? Well, except that. Don’t worry, that can change with the Urban Pac, a backpack with a built-in deployable goal. Made by Golme, the rucksack features a hidden goal in the bottom that you can quickly deploy when needed. It uses the company’s Shield Anchor System, [...]
Girls can shoot foam darts, too. And they can do it with the rage of a thousand scorned wives. Well, I actually don’t know that, but everyone deserves to get rid of pent-up aggression by blasting foam projectiles into their targets of choice. And while foam warfare has largely been the domain of boys (and men who act like boys), the Nerf Rebelle, which Hasbro is launching this Fall, will seek to balance out the scales. Aimed squarely at girls, [...]
What’s an intergalactic battle without alien monster robots? Not half as fun, of course. The LEGO Hive Crawler brings that to the Galaxy Squad line in the form of a beetle-like robot crawlie that can crush enemy fighter ships with its sheer weight. Made up of 560 pieces, the space-faring battle set consists of the Beetle-like robot with lasers on top, a pair of red team fighter ships, and one read team minifig soldier. It’s set for release later in [...]
Race cars are a favorite among many fans of LEGO’s Technic line. The upcoming Lego Technic Grand Prix Racer brings that in glorious form with an added bonus: it can be alternately assembled into a race truck, too. In race car form, the vehicle looks like a throwback F1 racer from five to six years ago. Measuring 24 inches long, 4 inches high and 9 inches wide, it’s gives you a huge track-faring speedster to play with, too. Just throw [...]
