This guy made a set of retractable metal Wolverine claws for Halloween. Wow. (via Boing Boing)

My Little Ponies go geek
I wasn’t into Star Wars as a kid – I was all about My Little Pony and Barbie and all that critical mass girlie stuff. So a year or so ago, when I found a picture of Lord Pony, I was amazed and extremely covetous. (Alas, it is not to be.) Today, I found an amazing Alien pony, complete with step-by-step pictorial. Such an oddly compelling combination…
Other custom ponies of interest: Yoda, Spock, gargoyle, Borg, punk, and Masque of the Red Death (one of a series!)
Forget Transformers, LFL – here’s a crossover toy I would buy!
The craft will be with you… always
Went to check out Star Wars stuff on Etsy again…. Finds include a Princess Leia ring, a reconstructed Darth Maul t-shirt, Vader Christmas stocking, droid purse, sheet bag (to match Aaron’s shirt,) marble magnets, and ton of ‘Star Wars is a Girl thing too’ hairpins from user user MelodyMuse, who’s also offers a Wicket pin and Vader coinpurse.
The island of misfit crafts
Knit a Princess Leia hat! It’s gotta be easier than getting actual hair to that…
Also, remember the Star Wars Fairisle Patterns? Examples in the wild! (Thanks, Bonnie!)
Awesome and awesomer!

Not as purely awesome as Ewok Muppets, but pretty close.
Make a lightsaber. Or two.

Warriors of stars and space!
Just in time for Halloween prep, Simplicity is offering patterns for several “Star Warriors” costumes… There’s more than one pattern per item, so be sure to click on all the familiar-looking characters. There are several other familiar-looking costumes on offer as well – Pirates, elves, Willy Wonka, and many generic fantasy and historical types.
Cute… overload… need… reboot…
These glass robot pendants by Izik Levy have to be the absolute cutest thing ever.
