Clark Gregg got to unbox the Hot Toys Agent Coulson Action Figure we posted about previously and he looks so happy.
It really is so cool when you see the people you like in movies act so totally like us regular nerds.

Benedict Cumberbatch has never looked so stinking cute. He’s in his Sherlock outfit, but he’s been turned into a Cabbage Patch doll. It’s everything I can do not to squeeze those adorable little cheeks.

There’s little to no chance that most of us will build something as complex as the Mars Curiosity Rover, but we will all soon be able to build a Lego version. It was designed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory mechanical engineer Stephen Pakbaz who submitted it as a Lego Cuusoo project last Fall. His project was selected for production from among only three projects that received the necessary 10,000 votes needed in order to be considered.
The product is still in development so no pricing or availability have been announced, but as long as it’s less than the real thing, I’m in!

I was a huge Superman fan growing up. In fact, I wouldn’t go to school willingly unless I had my Superman shirt on. If they had figures like this one back in the day, I would have flipped out.
Even now, when it arrived in the mail I kinda flipped out.
This massive Man of Steel action figure from Jakks Pacific clocks in at a whopping 31-inches tall with 7-points of articulation.
I loved it… but my dog wasn’t so sure. Check out more photos after the break.

Star Trek fan Rob Wixey built this fantastic USS Enterprise soapbox racer to attend the premiere of Star Trek: Into Darkness, and now he’ll be piloting it in the Red Bull Soapbox race at London’s Alexandra Palace on July 14th.
It took him two months to build in his backyard, along with the help of three of his friends. The frame of the ship is a bike that’s been cut in half then covered with plywood and polystyrene. On top of that is a coat of fiberglass that Rob sanded and then painted for the finished product. Rob says,
Only yesterday I entered into a sci-fi short film contest judged by Benedict Cumberbatch and now I will be watching the Star Trek premiere with him – the whole experience is overwhelming. Now I can’t wait for the Red Bull Soapbox event, maybe some of the Star Trek cast will come down and cheer me on!
People’s reactions to the Starship today have been brilliant – they loved it. I have such an admiration for JJ Abrams and it’s great to be part of the premiere – though I do feel slightly overdressed.
Slightly overdressed? He went as Spock, complete with Vulcan ears. I’d say he was dressed perfectly.

Sad as it is, sometimes you’re forced to cut down trees. It could be mandated by local authorities or your hand is forced because the tree is in danger of toppling over on your house. Maybe instead of cutting it down though, you could do what Redditor Aboiement’s neighbor did and pay a skilled artist to sculpt a gorgeous freaking dragon from the trunk. It’s majestic and detailed and just awesome. Of course, another Redditor commented that it actually appears to be a carving placed on a stump – it doesn’t make it any less cool.

Take a close look at this pig’s forehead and imagine an ancient Jedi Master. Yep, Yoda’s face is right there plain as day. It reminds me of that scene from Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone when you learn Voldemort has been living under Quirell’s hat… I digress. The porker belongs to Redditor skippuy’s friend, and I’m guessing it has strong Force abilities. I will not hazard a guess as to where it keeps a lightsaber.
