I know this is a question you’ve asked yourself time and time again. Well now you can see the answer. Japan’s Yoshitoku Company has created this 1/4 scale rendering of what the iconic Star Wars badass would have looked like as a traditional Japanese samurai. If you want to get your hands on one, good luck. If you can find one, and I doubt you can, it’s going to set you back a cool $5,200. Yikes. I’ll just take this little number.

I have no information on this other than the video, but it appears to be a real-life transforming robot. And it doesn’t look like crap. See Michael Bay, it IS possible to do this stuff without ruining my childhood.
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency has a hilarious letter from Optimus Prime’s GEICO agent in regards to his recent claims:
$6,564,239.44 requested reimbursement for repairs to a truck part called the “Autobot Matrix of Leadership.” You stated this occurred in “an ultimate confrontation between good and evil,” with a Ms. Meg Atron and a Mr. U. Nicron causing the damage in question. Mr. Prime, I have checked every known car- and truck-part catalog published in the United States and have found nothing even resembling that part, never mind any part so expensive. Whatever disagreements you had with Ms. Atron and Mr. Nicron, I suggest that next time you either settle things peaceably or leave your Autobot Matrix of Leadership at home so it doesn’t break. GEICO does not cover Autobot Matrix of Leaderships.
The undoubtedly craptacular Michael Bay helmed Transformers movie comes out this week. If you’re looking to retain your childhood memories instead of having Hollywood soil them, check this out instead. These people-with-too-much-time-on-their-hands made Transformers costumes that actually transform. Looks like they’re based on actual Transformers too. So sit back and relax and pretend it’s 1985 all over again…
Suck on this Michael Bay. This homemade stop-action movie was made using actual Transformers toys. There’s not much in the way of plot, but something tells me there won’t be much in Bay’s upcoming summer blockbuster either. And the effects in this one look like Transformers, not some sort of strange-overdone-too-complicated-ridiculous-robot thing. Strike another blow for the little guy!
A group of people with way too much time on their hands has staged Spike Lee’s classic Do the Right Thing with those wicked cool 1970′s Sesame Street Fisher Price toys. I had a set of those toys as a kid. Why didn’t I think to reenact a racially charged, highly adult movie with them? I guess I’m just not very creative…
They had me at “Fuck you Mr. Hooper”…

Behold, verily I say unto you that if thou needest some churchin’, but thou hasn’t the time to get to church, head on over to The Brick Testament to see The Bible recreated in Legos. Above is Charlton Heston bringing the 10 Commandments down from the mountain. Below is Evan Noah loading all the animals onto the ark.
Behold the fruits of the South Park Studio, an online tool for creating your own South Park character. Above is my South Park representation of Johnny Cash. Below, James Brown (or possibly Randy Watson…).
This thing rocks! More musicians after the jump…

Yep, it’s Fabulous Las Vegas made out of the greatest thing ever to come out of Denmark: Legos (no, not Helena Christensen, as you may have thought from the title…though with her work in Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” video, maybe she is the tops, but…wait, what were we talking about?)
LEGOLAND in California is the home to the world’s most faithful reproduction of the Las Vegas strip made out of Legos. The display include The Luxor, The Stratosphere (with working rides on top), New York, New York, Tropical Island (complete with the old pirate show out front), and many more.
For lots more photos check out Damn Cool Pics post about it, or check out the official LEGOLAND site.
StromDotCom has posted a photo gallery of toys that should never have been created. There’s some seriously messed up toys in there, including this Garfield Super Sodomizing Scooter. WTF were these people thinking?
