Cult Film Club

In case you didn’t know, our friends Shawn of Branded in the 80s, Jaime of ShezCrafti, and Paxton of Cavalcade of Awesome host a great podcast called Cult Film Club. If you haven’t listened to it, you’re missing out.

Shawn recently put together these awesome “No Tipping” sticker packs featuring the disembodied head of Mr. Pink himself, Steve Buscemi. In Shawn’s words:

These 4 die-cut stickers measure between 2.4″x2.4″ and 3.4″x2.4″, and feature the CFC Logo, Official Membership Badge, our mascot the Phantom Ticket Taker, and the one, the only non-tipper Mr. Pink!

They’re $7 and the profits go to help power their site and podcast, so you should order a few. Like seriously, order ten. Where else are you going to find Steve Buscemi stickers?

Go buy some!

Cool Stuff: Limited Edition Star Wars iPhone 5 Cases from Firebox

Firebox iPhone Case

The world of iPhone cases is rarely exciting anymore, and the lack of originality in most of them (combined with my laziness) is why I always prefer a naked iPhone. These awesome new Star Wars cases from Firebox make finally make me use a case again though, because they are amazing.

They’re pricey at $30 a pop, but they’re crazy detailed and make your phone look like either R2-D2 (my favorite), C-3PO, Darth Vader, and even a fuzzy Chewbacca. I’m trying to decide which to order right now (Chewbacca is just up for pre-order), and I think I’ll pull the trigger on the R2-D2 version.

What do you think of these? Would you walk around with a C-3PO iPhone 5 case complete with exposed wires? If so let’s be friends.

Cool Stuff: Crocheted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Crocheted TMNT

Browsing the tag archive for TMNT related terms on Instgram is something I find myself doing a lot these days. Through that I’ve found a lot of cool folks like Michelle Phillips (@ttvphoto), who made these awesome crocheted Ninja Turtles from scratch. I first noticed her project in it’s early stages and then watched her progress until they were done.

Seeing as how I have zero craftiness, I love seeing talented people make cool geeky items like these. Michelle has an Etsy store, so keep an eye out in case she ever lists one of these crocheted Turtles!

Cool Stuff: James Boorman’s ‘Faces of the Universe’ Print

Faces of the Universe

I know I don’t give Masters of the Universe enough love around here, mainly because it (along with Thundercats) was just a couple years before my time and I feel like I missed the boat on being nostalgic about the toys and cartoons. Still, this art print by James Boorman is awesome, and I’m sure you all who grew up with the show will appreciate it.

I’ve been following James on Instagram and seeing his progress on his Faces of the Universe print, and I love his style. Check out his site to see the finished product, as well as a lot of other really great art.

James said he’s looking into setting up an online shop soon, so key your eyes on his Twitter and Instagram feeds so you can snag a MOTU print of your own. Also, he’s got some pretty cool TMNT faces on his site too, so hopefully we’ll see that as a print sometime soon.

Cool Stuff: Custom Carded Action Figures for Movies That Never Had Action Figures

Custom Action Figures

eBay seller Old Colony Hobbies is doing something awesome, and isn’t even charging an arm and a leg for it. They’re creating custom action figures and cards for characters that never got the toy treatment (for obvious reasons). I’m talking Pennywise from It, Michael Myers, Jaws figures, Lethal Weapon, and more.

They look incredibly real and the first time I saw them I thought they were. I can’t wait to see what else they come up with, but I’m hoping for some Three Amigos figures.
