This illustration includes images of famous fictional vehicles from cars to trucks to RVs. It was created by artist Scott Park who has really paid attention to the details. All together there are 77 different vehicles in the image. I’m particularly fond of the Arrested Development stair car and the Batmobile.

The Final Fantasy games are overflowing with fascinating characters and awesome weaponry – it’s hard to choose favorites. That said, Serah’s awesome sword-bow called Starseeker has to be near the top of the list of cool death dealing gadgets. It works for melee or ranged combat, and it’s pink and purple! This prop replica of the weapon was crafted by the talented meanlilkitty on DeviantArt; it’s made from wood, plastic jewels, and metal fixtures. I think it looks sexy.

Practically everyone owns a set of Bicycle playing cards, but it’s usually just a plain stack without any fantasy creatures. Boring. Make your poker night more visually exciting (without playing strip poker) by using an Elves & Orc deck!
Artist Nat Iwata is offering these cool cards through a Kickstarter campaign, but it’s not his first rodeo. He’s already made a steampunk Cthulhu set. He decided to switch genres and focus on Elves & Orcs this tme around because he thought it would be fun to do a dual themed card deck and play with the colors. He designed custom pips for the four different card suits, too. They definitely look fierce.
Check out more card images as well as the Kickstarter video after the break.
Dear Booker DeWitt: I know how you can pay down your debt – build custom BioShock Infinite Lego sets for the masses! This design is by builder Cool Whip (not the dessert topping in this case), and there are plenty of details to examine from airships to character minifigs. It’s silly, but my favorite thing is the Lego powdered wig on one of the figures. Small touches make all the difference!

The time is nearly here. Big Chief Studios is making a set of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson figures based on the lovely likenesses of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The head sculpts are insanely detailed, but I wouldn’t expect any less from the company’s 12″ figures – just check out their Tenth Doctor collectible for crying out loud.
No word on pre-orders yet, but we’ll keep you updated about when you have your very own Cumberbatch.
See a few more photos after the break.
I’m beginning to think that teenagers in Japan go to school solely to come up with new photo memes. We’ve seen giants eating people, Dragon Ball Attack and Harry Potter Quidditch so tubas as weapons is a natural next step. They’ve even thrown in a pair of cymbals for good measure.

The original Star Wars trilogy has the feel of a pulpy movie sometimes. People make fun of George Lucas for the infamous “faster, more intense” direction, but it makes the dialogue snappy and on beat – just like you’d get in an action packed detective novel of the pulp genre. Artist Timothy Anderson has taken the vibe to the next level with freaking fantastic book covers. He’s imagined a pulp style cover for each of the original trilogy flicks, and you can even buy prints. Sign me up.

The kid that goes with this landspeeder is incredibly lucky. I can’t imagine a better first set of wheels; it will be hard to top this later – his first car would have to look like an X-wing or a TIE Fighter. This fantastic stroller was spotted at Denver Comic Con.
