Donald Kennedy put his custom toy building talents to good use creating this concept Mario Mech which is made from a vinyl figure and a Mario keychain. He eventually plans to build Mechs for a variety of characters in Marioland so they can wreak havoc with giant versions of themselves. However, Mario’s not going to earn any intimidation points if these things are built to scale. At this rate, it looks like him and his Mech will only be the size of your average human.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of January 25th-31st, 2010:
Contest Reminder: Today is the final day to win Garbage Pail Kids wall and laptop graphics.
Feature: 10 ultimate weapons for nerd self-defense.
Certificate of Virginity: Gives you a fake fresh start.
The Getty Lamp: Looks like a portal into another dimension.
Exhaust Chopsticks: Shift Chinese food into overdrive.
The Blow Couch is a super simple concept that utilizes old dunnage bags (inflatable bags used for shipping) and supports them with a metal rack and some rubber straps. It probably doesn’t have a high weight limit, but it would be really easy to transport. It’s the kind of thing I can picture taking on a camping trip but, alas, it is only in the prototype phase at the moment.
The Blood Energy Potion was okay tasting, but it falls a bit short if you crave human meat. That problem has been remedied with this bleeding heart gummy candy from Think Geek. Inside each heart is squishy candies full of liquid blood and, for good measure, they have also included a separate vial of blood if things just aren’t messy enough. I suppose it goes without saying, but you should probably wear a bib or a smock when you tear into one of these. Better yet, just stand naked in the bathtub.
That’s right—LTL prints has the exclusive rights to launch a 77 piece line of wall graphics featuring classic designs from Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. Prices start at $14.95 for laptop-sized graphics to 7-foot tall ‘larger-than-lifesize’ wall graphics, for $149.95.
Chances are, guys that grew up with these in the ’80s probably have wives now that wouldn’t allow this sort of thing in the living room—but if you have your own kids, you might be able to get around that little problem. The first wave of 77 designs are available now with additional sets following monthly starting in February.
The answer is yes…if you pulled that piece of chocolate out of a skunks ass. Seriously, there is a very distinct skunky smell to this supposedly chocolate-scented solar calculator. It’s really small too—even compared to a mass-produced, cost-cut candy bar in 2010.
Indulge your inner zombie by cracking a skull and eating brains for breakfast. It won’t take much imagination on your part when you use this lifelike, pewter skull egg cup. Not for the squeamish, particularly that early in the morning.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of November 23rd-29th, 2009:
Kama Sutra USB Neon Lights: Like advertising for your computer.
Plush Turkey: I hope your Thanksgiving turkey tasted better than this one.
Cookie Misfortune: Fortune cookies for the pessimist.
Super Mario Spin On Coin Candy: 1UP’s your diabetes.
Pee On Urinal Cakes: Pee on America’s enemies with these special urinal cakes.
Stuffing chocolate coins inside Super Mario question mark tin boxes seems like a natural merchandising decision. A good way for Nintendo to make a quick buck. Try explaining that to the gaming nerd that instinctively collects as many coins as possible after the doctors take his foot. I smell a lawsuit.

Thankfully, there isn’t a new ear wax-flavored Jolly Rancher and Hershey’s Kisses line—these candy earbuds are only for listening to your MP3 player.
