The launcher is equipped with four Nerf projectiles and connects to your iPhone via a Bluetooth connection. It has a rechargeable lithium battery, which can be easily [...]

Survival things are quite popular these days. In fact, the oddities that make it to retail reflect a particularly somber mood among the general populace (at least in the USA), as if too many episodes of The Walking Dead have convinced everyone that the end is nigh. Taking advantage of this cultural climate are this small outfit [...]

Traxxas is to RC cars what Ferrari is to the auto-industry. They’re exclusive, innovative, and a little brash. Small wonder then that Traxxas have grabbed a lot of attention with their latest, an RC that can zoom at a 100mph. The best part is the police won’t bother you when you’re raising hell in the [...]

Capable of supporting 140 pound riders, the Street and Snow is currently available at a prominent online retailer. What makes it distinctive are the modular features incorporated unto its design. For starters, the twin polyurethane wheels designed for pavements and sidewalks are detachable. All that’s needed is a wrench and they can be replaced with [...]

Oops! In fact, don’t take a nap while sledding because it’s dangerous. The suggestion was unavoidable though given the shape and size of the SnowBoogie Fantom X. It’s a ‘professionalized’ sled with mechanical controls. It can’t quite perform like a snowmobile (Modern Warfare type escapes are impossible with this clunker) but it does perform pretty [...]

The scary part is the scale model he built transforms into a realistic-looking plane. Guess the lesson here is never doubt Chinese ingenuity, especially when inspired by a Michael Bay flick. Now if he can only manage to get his hands on an All Spark shard…the name of the artist/fanboy who built the menacing Decepticon is unknown, [...]

Too bad the resulting robot army is miniaturized and completely harmless, thereby dashing your dreams of world conquest. At least you can still design them from head to foot. This is the ultimate appeal of novelty business My Robot Nation, which relaunched its website and is now accepting entries into their 3D modelling business.

Back in August, I mentioned the prank pack box that had images on the outside of something called the iArm mount for the iPad. With Christmas, almost here we will all be giving more gifts than we normally would make this the perfect time for the Prank Pack.

The BBC has revealed this week that they are currently developing a new technology, which will allow them to control toy Daleks using metadata contained within ‘Doctor Who’ episodes shown on your home TV. Adding even more fear to the already ominous Daleks. Watch the video after the jump to see the new BBC metadata technology [...]

The greatest rock n roll frontman ever finally gets the Lego treatment thanks to a diehard fan. The resulting sculpture captures Freddie’s most iconic stance onstage when he still rocked a fearsome mustache that out-machoed the beardiest macho men anywhere (here’s looking at you Chuck Norris). While the sculpture isn’t big on detail, it perfectly [...]
