This 17″ hunk of sculpted resin awesomeness was created by Joe Simon and painted by Mangrasshopper. The work is titled “Another Big Hunt” and measures 17″ tall from the top of the Predator’s blade weapon to the bottom of the base. We only wish it was available for sale—or the concept was being released as a movie.

I thought Beavis and Butthead would look scary in real life, but I was wrong. They look terrifying.

In the past, Jason Freeny has dissected characters like Mario, and the Stay Puft marshmallow man—but now he takes a peek inside a Lego Minifig.
As you can see, we may look different on the outside with our bodies of flesh, plastic and marshmallow, but we’re all the same on the inside. And isn’t that what really counts?

Prison officials at the Category C Usk prison in Monmouthshire, Wales, confiscated this collection of Final Fantasy weapons created by a bored by talented prisoner using nothing but matchsticks and glue. The collection was fashioned with such precision that blades were “razor sharp” and the barrel on the Gunblade actually revolved:
“Their realism presented a genuine threat to the safety of staff, visitors and other prisoners.”
A security bulletin was sent to jails throughout the UK after the discovery was made, but apparently this has happened before, as two matchstick knives were recently found at Littlehey prison in Cambridgeshire.
