I had no idea Star Wars vehicles could look so classy. This timekeeper manages to clock in at 11 on the nerdy scale and look like a piece of sleek, subtle art. The Etsy seller fashions the clocks from vintage Action Fleet Micro Machine toys. That line featured the Falcon, a sandcrawler, an AT-AT, and more (as you can see above). The pieces are plastic and lightweight but painted to look like pewter. Genius. Customization takes 9-14 days.

Mondo has revealed the final poster in the series of seven issued to commemorate the new Avengers movie. This Tyler Stout creation is available in a hand-numbered, limited edition of 750 color prints and 350 of a black and white variant. Posters measure 24″ x 36″ and are sure to sell out fast. In fact, by the time you read this they may already be gone.

We’re all afraid of the dark now and then—but you can banish the darkness with these superhero themed night lites. What could be more comforting than the Punisher’s warm glow? No, that seems a little odd. There’s always Spider-Man with a big black spider. Wait, that doesn’t work either. Okay, okay, let’s go with Captain America. It’s a nice red, white and blue shield with a star. Yup, that ought to do the trick quite nicely. Each measures 4.5″ by 4″ and has an automatic light sensor so it will know when to shed its heroic light and save you from the villains of your nightmares.

I wonder how ol’ Shell Head would feel about being a pretty lamp. He’d probably feel the same as Boba Fett when he was transformed into stained glass by artist Michael McLane. It’s a beautiful way to make use of the helmet design, and I’d love to see it lined up with a Captain America one, a Stormtrooper one, and so on.

You may have been bummed to find out that the previously featured Snorlax Beanbag Chair wasn’t for sale, but thankfully, this floor pillow has filled the void. Etsy seller Cassie Wilson is offering this handmade, over-sized Minky pillow which is plumped up to be 9″ thick, and has a main body measuring 28×21″.

Nerd Approved reader Gregory Pinzone sent these photos of his awesome retro gaming-themed bathroom, which is adorned with Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man imagery that covers everything from the walls, mirror and lighting – right down to the trash can. With this kind of attention to detail, you’d almost expect your waste to be 8-Bit. Needless to say, it would fit right in to our list of the world’s nerdiest bathrooms.

In season 3-6 of MacGyver, the main character of the same name lived on a floating house. It’s not quite a house boat since it can’t be sailed, but it’s stays on the water. The current owners are offering the charming home in British Columbia for sale on eBay. It looks cozy, and I love the colors and the interior design. If I liked water more, I might consider it.
Gadgets and the know-how to save the world with five household objects are probably not included.

When I was a kid, my room was adorned with Star Wars posters and action figures. I also had some pretty awesome Transformers sheets if I do say so myself. Not bad, but some people choose to go the extra mile and make more elaborate themed rooms and beds. Just imagine the kinds of dreams you would have sleeping in places like these.
Mondo has created a series of seven new posters for the Avengers that will have everyone looking to redecorate their living rooms. They already debuted first two, Black Widow and Hawkeye, and now they’ve revealed the next four. Each poster in the series is designed by a different artist, including the last yet to be unveiled image of the whole Avengers team. Artists behind this most recent batch include Martin Ansin on Thor, Phantom City Creative on Captain America, Ken Taylor on Hulk and Kevin Tong on Iron Man. All the posters were available in very limited quantities and have already sold out, but follow @MondoNews for your chance to grab an upcoming version featuring the whole team.
