‘Doctor Who’ is infamous for sexy ladies (ESPECIALLY AMY POND!) that the Doc keeps around as “companions”. So I figure this would be the best ring for the Doctor to give to his lovely ladies. Don’t ya think? Fashioned to look like the TARDIS police box, Etsy jeweler CsCharms of Montreal, Canada has these awesome rings available for sale. Made of tibetan silver (similar to pewter), the charm measures at one inch tall and features an adjustable ring band. Considering the quality of the ring, it’s a steal at less than $10USD. For those of you that don’t really like rings (unless its a Green Lantern power ring), CsCharms will have more jewelery available in the near future such as necklaces, cuff links, brooches, and earrings of the same TARDIS charm. I would buy ten of these rings for each of Karen Gillen’s (Amy Pond) lovely fingers. Did that just come off a bit creepy? sigh.

What do you do with your old computer parts? Well, why not make an Imperial Walker AT-AT. Hulmeville, PA native, Sage Werbock (aka the Great Nippulini) who is the resident expert welder, blacksmith, and man with “the world strongest nipples” (self proclaimed) built this pretty awesome AT-AT out of old scrap computer parts and sheet metal.
The main body is composed of power supply boxes from old computers, the head from floppy drive housings, legs and feet from various scrap metal. The entire piece has been welded together using the MIG welding process. Two coats of cold galvanizing primer are applied followed by a coat of varied grays and finished with two coats of protective gloss. The whole sculpture was randomly “attacked” with the welding arc to simulate battle scars.
Nippulini has this sucker for sale on etsy for $450! It looks like this is a one-time deal as he has only one available for sale. Maybe he’s selling it to fund more of his “nipple related” activities.

If you are a die-hard geek, you can’t have just any old wedding cake. Ya gotta give it a geek twist and make it one of a kind. However, if you don’t have the cash to pitch out hundreds of dollars to get a custom cake made for your wedding, why not go with a bad ass geek cake topper. Etsy community member, Hilda Fernandez (AKA HILDOOM) offers a cool variety of cute geeky cake toppers like Han Solo and Princess Leia from Star Wars (pictured above). If Star Wars isn’t your thing (and shame on you if it isn’t), she also offers custom cake toppers of Link and Zelda from… well, Zelda, Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and Mario and Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros.! Even Luigi gets some time in the spotlight in his own cake topper with Princess Daisy! Each of these adorable cake toppers are hand sculpted and made of polymer clay and colored using acrylic paint. HILDOOM also takes special requests so if you want something different from what she has to offer on her Etsy shop, just drop her a line. Considering each of these cake toppers are each created by hand, she only charges around $85 each (more pending on the difficulty of the request)! A small price to pay to personalize your big day and to have a keepsake from your wedding that screams geek!
I too have requested the services of HILDOOM to create a one-of-a-kind cake topper for my wedding next week (and yes, I am getting married…). Unfortunately, as much as I would KILL (KILL I said!) for a pair of his and her Scout Troopers beating down on an Ewok as my cake topper, I will be getting two frogs named Kerori from Sanrio, because Mrs. geektrooper said so. Sigh~

In 2000, artist/sculptor Cheong-ah Hwang (AKA papernoodle) started working exclusively with paper as her medium of choice when building very exquisite structures. Since then, her paper structures have been featured everywhere from art gallery, museums, and even at L’Atelier restaurant at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Born in Seoul, Korea and now residing in Colombus, Ohio, papernoodle is now offering her brilliant paper structures on Etsy! One of the coolest items she is offering is a paper structure piece featuring the Mark III suit from the first Iron Man movie and also a Captain America based on John Romita Sr.’s interpretation of Jack Kirby’s original drawings. Referred as a bas-relief paper structure, papernoodle hand crafts each piece of paper to create a very surreal three dimensional image. Her Iron Man paper structure stands at almost one foot, yet it’s less than an inch thick. If you are interested in one of this bad ass paper structures, you can drop by papernoodle’s Etsy shop, but these won’t come cheap. Iron Man and Captain America is $250.00 each! If you do get one, just make sure you don’t spill any water on it. You’re just going to end up with a $250 flat Iron Man napkin that’s wet…

Each of these plushes are around 25 bucks and like all stuff on Etsy, these cuties are made by hand. The best of the group definitely has to be Chewbacca Sack Boy.

LittleBig Planet Sack Boy as Chewbacca from Star Wars!
Made with soft fluffy wool, proper Sackboy zipper and eyes. It even has Chewbacca’s bandolier & pouch just like the character from Star Wars! He is 13 inches tall so lots of Wookey for your money!

Etsy community member, MonstersDomesticated created a really cool chest set featuring the gruesome monsters of the H.P. Lovecraft universe. Dubbed the “Cthulhu Mythos Chess Set“, each of these hideous chess pieces are hand made and not produced from a mold. This is pretty cool considering not a single piece is identical to the other. The chess pieces are sculpted out of polymer clay, painted, than sealed in a polyurethane to ensure that, as MonstersDomesticated describes it “will outlast us all…”.
We consider the black pieces to be the Cthulhoid forces, with dread Cthulhu itself as king, and menacing Dagon as swift and malevolent queen, and the mouldering green pieces to be led by Yog-Sothoth as king, in all its gibbering madness, and primordial Ubbo-Sathla as queen. Of course, you’re the cultist, so you’re entitled to assign whatever mythos iconography you like. The interpretations, fortunately for all life in this dimension, are loose.
The bishops of each side are mad alien priests, the knights grotesque mounts with vile curved spines, the rooks writhe horribly within their blasted towers. The black pawns are sinister, writhing spawn of dread Cthulhu, and the green pawns mocking little tentacular skulls.
For a shit load of cash ($420 to be precise), you can buy this vile chess set on Etsy. I personally would love to just buy a Nyarlathotep chess piece.

Good gawd, I love etsy. Where else can you find random bad ass stuff that fans made? This is the case with etsy community member, Mandy (AKA frosti AKA “The Vessel of Awesomeness”) from Powell River, Canada. We have already seen some cool Star Wars inspired hoodies from Marc Ecko, but one thing Ecko lacked was making some cool apparel featuring our favorite astrometric droid, R2-D2. Enter frosti’s R2-D2 hoodie! Like majority of the cool stuff that you find on etsy, the items are handmade by the seller. In this case, frosti personally designed and made this fantastic Artoo hoodie herself. You really have to dig the way Artoo’s head and body panels are meticulously placed from the hood to the front of the sweater. Unlike a lot of sweaters you see in department/specialty stores, all the decorative detail on the clothes are individually sewn together. You won’t find that silkscreen crap on this Artoo sweater. The epic-ness (I know thats not a word) of frosti’s custom hoodies do not stop there as she also designed and made a pretty cool Robin (from Batman), Nintendo, and zombie inspired hoodies as well. The only bad part is due to the nature of how these sweaters are made and their popularity, they sell out VERY quickly. Hit the jump to see some of frosti’s bitchin’ hoodies!
