13 Essential Deadpool Toys & Collectibles

Posted on 10/03/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

The Deadpool movie came out less than a month ago and it’s already proven to be a smash hit! Here are our favorite productions based on the Merc with a Mouth, made in order to celebrate his success.

After years and years of being a fan-favorite but not having his moment to shine under the spotlight, things have changed. Everyone in the world loves Deadpool thanks to the fantastic movie that just came out directed by Tim Miller and starred by Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool. the chimichanga lover. This movie has gotten a lot of people interested in the character who might not even know where he came from, what’s the deal with him, or just how many productions based on him there are, so here’s a quick guide of all the Deadpool essentials and cool action figures & toys featuring him.

Deadpool Blu-Ray

The Deadpool movie has launched the character into the mainstream and if you fell in love with him as much as we did, you might want to bring his spectacular cinematic adventure to your own place. Amazon have a pre-order page for the Deadpool movie where you can buy the movie in Blu-ray, digital or DVD even before it launches. The year has just started, but we are pretty sure we will be seeing this film in all of the “best movies of the year” lists to come, as the work the staff did is nothing short of incredible, and is one of the best super hero introduction movies we have ever seen. Frankly, we can’t wait until the X-force movies and Deadpool 2 come out. The price of this movie varies depending on your preferred platform, but you will be paying between $19.99 and $29.99.

Deadpool Movie Poster

While you wait for the movie to actually get released, you can celebrate the character with the Deadpool Movie poster, which is totally in tune with what we saw in the film. One thing fans really liked about the movie is just how faithful the suit is when compared to what we saw in the comic books, from the mask to the textures of his costume to even Deadpool’s mannerisms, jokes, and fourth-wall breaks – all of which can be inferred even from this movie poster. You can buy it for just over $20 USD with shipping included.

The Deadpool Video Game

Did you know? Before the movie even came out, Deadpool was already huge with comic book fans, and his reputation alone was enough to make him the star of Deadpool, a fantastic video game by High Moon and Activision that originally came out for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. After the movie was announced, the game was re-released for the new generation of consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One with enhanced graphics and higher resolution, which finally gave the already-amazing game the boost in its reputation it deserved. It was a fantastic game to begin with, but now it truly shines with all of Deadpool’s characteristic moments and charm along with fantastic third person action. You can get it for around $40 USD, a bit more or less depending on your platform of choice.

Deadpool Toys

Of course the Merc with a Mouth has inspired a few incredible figurines and a few budget ones! He’s been huge from even before the movies came out so there’s plenty to choose from. Here are our picks

Kotobukiya Deadpool Marvel Now ArtFX+ Statue

KOTOBUKIYA figurines are famed across the world for its spectacular quality and amazing level of detail. This Japanese import is part of a series that features some of Marvel Comics most popular characters which obviously had to include Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. The Kotobukiya Deadpool Marvel Now ArtFX+ Statue is part of the ARTFX+ and features Wade along with his blades, getting ready to spring into action. It comes with pouches, extra ammunition, spare weapons, pointy hood with mask, and all of the details that make Deadpool who he is – even his belt featuring his own personal brand! These statues, sculpted by Junnosuke Abe are a premium product only for true fans, and stand at 6 inches tall. You can buy your own for $62.99 plus free shipping.

Deadpool Sixth Scale Figure

If you thought the previous figurine was detailed, wait until you see the Deadpool Sixth Scale Figure. This is an extremely rare, highly sought collectible figure from Sideshow, and features Wade Wilson armed and dangerous in a fully articulated figurine that will just blow you away with the level of detail. His costume looks plainly incredible with its fantastic texture, and his stylized proportions make him stand tall and like a badass among other figurines. It comes with two handsome portraits and all kind of weapons, but here’s the drawback: being that this is a very rare product only for the most hardcore of the fans, with the highest possible quality it has a price to match. You can purchase yours for $259.99 + $11.99 shipping. Don’t expect this to go on sale any time soon, and buy it fast before they run out!

Deadpool Marvel Select Action Figure

For a more budget option, we particularly like the Deadpool Marvel Select Action Figure. He sports a more traditional look here, as if taken straight from the X-force comics from the 90s, as if Rob Liefeld himself had drawn him. This figurine is fully articulate for posing and includes sais instead of katanas, but comes with a few guns. You can purchase this figurine for just under $33 USD.

POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure

The entire world is crazy about POP! Funko Figurines, and part of that is the artificial bubble around them paired with the limited quantities of the figurines. Say what you will about that, but the fact is that wouldn’t account for anything if the figurines weren’t incredibly cute and awesome. This also applies to the Deadpool Funko Pop Figurine which is nothing short of adorable, but also really cheap at just $11.53 . Get it before it becomes a collectors item.

Kotobukiya Bishoujo Lady Deadpool

Have you ever heard of the infamous rule 63 of the internet? It says that For every given male character, there is a female version of that character – which is true for Deadpool except it didn’t take an Internet denizen to become true, and this is actually a real character. Wanda Wilson is a female counterpart to Wade Wilson from another reality, and ever since her debut in 2010 she became a fan favorite, to the point where she even got her Kotobukiya Bishoujo Lady Deadpool figurine done in similar fashion as the male counterpart. This one costs $79.94, which albeit kind of expensive, it’s worth it because of the level of detail.

Deadpool Metallic Chrome Figure Set of 8 Chimichanga Truck Package

This is kind of a joke set but it’s still awesome. This is an extremely limited edition set of figurines with 8 different versions of Deadpool done in an incredibly cute style – and all of them come inside a chimichanga truck. You can get your own for $39.99.

Deadpool Suit

Deadpool is quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon, but it will be a while until we start seeing the really cool Deadpool Costumes for Halloween. While we wait for those, here are some clothes that pay homage to the character without being exactly cosplay.

Deadpool Hoodie Leather Jacket

Now here’s something for those who don’t mind getting attention in public places. A red leather jacket by itself will make heads turn, but if it’s themed after the Merc with a Mouth, heads are gonna roll instead! The Deadpool Leather Jacket is a fantastic holiday gift idea which you can get for between $119 and $129 USD, depending on your size. Winter is about to be over, but Deadpool is going to be cool forever, right guys?

Deadpool Socks

Whoa, calm down, we said Deadpool Socks, not Deadpool sucks! These are 98% Polyester/2% Spandex socks that can be machine washed. These are incredibly cheap and cost less than $9 USD for a pair. They might seem tacky, but that’s kind of the point: this is exactly what Deadpool would wear if he was a fan of Deadpool.

Deadpool Comics

Deadpool’s most iconic adventures all come from different comic books, and out of all the editions out there, it’s the Omnibus ones that became our favorites. These are huge compilations of several stories, runs and sagas by different authors that make fantastic packages for those who want to get into the character but don’t know where to start.

Deadpool Classic Omnibus

Deadpool Classic Omnibus is a beast of a compilation. This hard-cover behemoth has 1299 pages of Deadpool goodness where you can see Wade Wilson fight for or against the likes of Loki, Thor, Copycat, Black Panther and many more throughout the first few issues of the regular series from 1997. This is a fantastic place to start if you’ve never read a comic book, but want a piece of history that will last you for the ages. It costs $102.43 USD.

Deadpool & Cable Omnibus

Another gigantic compilation, the Deadpool & Cable Omnibus compiles 50 issues of the series of the same name, where you see the Merc with a Mouth embark on different adventures and contracts alongside Nathan Summers, AKA Cable, AKA Cyclops and Jean Grey’s clone’s son from an alternate future. Sounds complicated? The point is they are both incredible characters, and being that Cable will be one of the main characters featured in an eventual X-force movie or Deadpool 2, you might want to get to know him Believe us, it is going to be worth it.

13 Incredible Star Wars Lamps

Posted on 17/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

Brightening your day is important, but metaphors aside, you need actual light. That’s a thing. And because things always get better with Star Wars, here’s our list of Star Wars lamps.

It seems Star Wars is all the world can talk about, and we can’t blame anyone. With the most recent film Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens becoming a smash hit at the box office it seems the series is back in full force (no pun intended). That is why countless Star Wars productions have started appearing all around the web, and we have been compiling the most interesting or fun of those and sharing them with our readers. This time around, we have lamps inspired by the iconic series, so without further ado, here are our favorite Star Wars Lamps!

Star War Darth Vader 3D color changing USB desk lamp

There is a good reason why we decided to start off the list with this amazing Darth Vader 3D lamp. This beauty right here has a touch button which can make it switch between red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, pink, and white, or make it change automatically. It can be plugged straight to the wall, or via USB to charge its battery for improved portability, with the creators even offering alternatives for US, UK or EU adapters so you can buy from anywhere in the world. This lamp costs $32.99.

Imperial Walker At-At Table Lamp

We are going to have to have this conversation again in the future, after all the new movies come out, but as of now, Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back remains the fan favorite (right?), and now you can show your appreciation for what is probably one of the most remembered scenes in the entire saga with this AT-AT lamp. The walkers from the planet Hoth cost $20.05 USD and is a beautiful 3D lamp that can be carried anywhere, be plugged to the wall, or be charged via USB.

Star Wars 3d Millennnium Falcon Lamp

Similar to the previous lamps, but this time on the Rebel’s side instead of the Empire’s, this lamp features Han Solo and Chewie’s iconic ship, the Millennium Falcon, beautifully recreated as a 3D sculpture that lights up. This Millennium Falcon Lamp shares the same basic features of the lamps we included above (can be charged via USB and transported, and users get to pick its charger) and costs $25.28, which is not that expensive for such a detailed treat.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Desk Lamp

LEGO Star Wars has sort of become its own brand, thanks to its beautiful aesthetics and love for the most quirky aspects of the smash hit saga. The thing is, Star Wars and LEGO work really well together because of how iconic some of the characters are, and how well this translates to LEGO and this isn’t more evident for any character other than Darth Vader himself, who inspired this LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader lamp, which you can currently get on sale for just under $45 USD, $25 below its usual price. What’s best, the lamp can be used with or without the base so it’s not only a great light alternative, but also a beautiful decoration for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars 3D R2-D2 USB lamp

Of course there was going to be at least a few Star Wars lamps inspired by R2-D2, the iconic and beloved droid from the series who is one of the few character to have shown up and do important things in each and every single movie! This Star Wars R2-D2 3D Lamp features a touch button to change between red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, pink and white, and measures 9.35*4.71*0.15″(23.8*12*0.4cm) ; base: 3.42*3.42*1.69″ (8.7*8.7*4.3cm); USB cable: 58.95″ (150cm). It can be used by plugging it straight to the wall or to a USB port to charge its battery for further independence.

Star Wars Darth Vader Lamp

If you would rather have a more traditional lamp, as in one to put in a young kid’s nightstand, here’s a Darth Vader Table Lamp featuring the dark lord of the Sith in all his glory, featuring his helmet and red lightsaber just the way we remember him from the classic movies. This beauty is a fantastic budget option at under $23 USD, and when you factor in the free shipping, it becomes even more tempting, especially if you’re trying to get a Star Wars themed bedroom for the kids.

Star Wars Lightsaber Lamp

Here is a more traditional lamp that manages to still be really geeky but not as in-your-face as previous models because it doesn’t feature a character’s likeness. Instead, this time around we get one of the iconic lightsabers from the movies, in this case, Anakin Skywalker’s – we can tell because of the hilt. This lamp features 8 different colors or an automatic mode in which it switches around and varies the brightness, and even features sound which can be turned on or off. We are guessing it’s gonna be off most of the time, but hey, it’s a nice feature regardless! This Star Wars Lightsaber Room Light is currently on sale at 25% off, and you can get it for just under $23 USD.

Star Wars Kylo Ren 3D Wall LED Light

It hasn’t been that long since the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, but Kylo Ren has already become one of the most well known characters from the new trilogy. This Star Wars Kylo Ren 3D Wall LED Light features the likeness of the new villain from the series as a really cool, 100% official merchandise, 3D wall light. It also comes with the crack sticker so it looks like he came smashing through the wall, and also features cordless functionality with high-duration energy efficient LED bulbs so you don’t have to mess around with it a lot. It is going to require 3 x AA batteries, and has a size of approximately: 21.5cm x 13cm x 32.5cm. You can purchase yours for $63.30.

Star Wars Yoda Nighstand Lamp

Here’s another lamp of the more traditional kind, this one featuring arguably one of the biggest stars from the entire Star Wars franchise. Although this Star Wars Yoda Lamp is meant for little kids, it’s not like this lamp wouldn’t be great in any desk around the house that could use some light for reading your favorite extended universe comics. This pull-chain lamp plugs straight to the wall and doesn’t require any type of charging or batteries, costs $39.99, and is the perfect present for the younger Padawans that grew up with the Clone Wars cartoons.

Star Wars 3D BB-8 USB lamp

The cute BB-8 quickly became a hit with fans after the release of the seventh movie in the series, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. The ball-droid also has a 3D lamp inspired by him that you can buy for $25.99 with free shipping. Like most similar lamps that we talked about above, the Star Wars 3D BB-8 USB lamp can be plugged straight to any wall or charged via USB. It features several colors you can pick and choose from including red, white, blue, yellow and more, and the best of all, the mode in which it cycles through all of them automatically.

Star Wars R2-D2 EVA Lamp

This beautiful Disney Star Wars R2D2 EVA Lamp is the perfect addition to any playroom or bedroom in the house. The colorful lamp features the likeness of R2-D2, the most well-known character in the Star Wars saga of movies, and is beautifully crafted in EVA. The lamp emits a soft glow that can be used for night light, but it is also almost a toy by itself for being so well crafted (although you don’t want your kid to play with electricity). The lamp costs $21.78 with free shipping so here’s a great option worth considering for the little ones.

Star Wars Darth Vader Wall Lamp

Similar to the Kylo Ren lamp featured above, the Star Wars Darth Vader Wall Lamp is a fantastic cordless option to use in any room around the house. This light mounts to any wall on top of a crack sticker which the user can either use or not, and it features three settings On/Off/Timer (30 minutes) you can pick from. This lamp costs $37.99, which is way below the cost of the Kylo Ren one, but hey, that’s what happens when you are yesterday’s news, right? Too soon?

Star Wars Death Star USB Powered Mood Light

Throughout the movies, the Death Stars kept getting bigger and scarier, but luckily, there’s always been a few X-wing pilots around to take them down whenever they got too dangerous. It is definitely not the case with the Star Wars Death Star USB Powered Mood Light, which is just meant to be a beautiful, detailed replica of the iconic station. It is a mood light with push down on/off function that measures some 18cm diameter and has a transparent base to give ‘floating’ impression. You can get your own for $41.19 with free shipping.

iPhone 5se: How Apple Almost Released A Pink iPhone

Posted on 10/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

We are all awaiting for Apple’s next tank, the much touted iPhone 7, although after hearing some rumors, we might have to wait until after 2016. Meanwhile, a new iPhonee model, the iPhone 5se is on its way, and it was said to bring a very peculiar shade of color, or so we were led to believe. Read all about it, here!

The last few days have been particularly rich when it comes to Apple rumors and leaks on the new iPhone 5se, a smaller alternative to the recent iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, with a smaller size of only 4 inches. Yet, the most interesting of all those rumors was one that talked about a major change to the color gamma Apple have gotten the users used to.

It would seem the iPhone 5se will feature some major differences with previous Apple devices, not only when it comes to the hardware and software side of things but also when it comes to aesthetics. According to Japanese website Mac Otakara, Apple were planning a variant in their regular color palette that they used for the iPhone 5s, and it seemed the new member of the family was going to dress in full, bright pink. This is a very different pink from the Rose Gold variant we saw on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and its closer to the color featured on the sixth generation iPod Touch or seventh generation iPod Nano.

Everything looked promising, and the rumor did manage to get some hype, but unfortunately, Mark Gurman took the stage to crush everyone’s hope: the actual color of the iPhone 5se will feature classis Rose Gold, same as the iPhone 6s. It would have been great to see such a throwback to the classic iPod Touch aesthetics, but it seems this time around we will have to settle for the colors we already like and love.

As of now, we know the iPhone 5se will be a smaller alternative, but featuring all of the horse power of its older siblings in the phone family. Whatever the case may be, we will have to wait until the 15th of March to learn more about this new device.

LG G5 : Rumors and possible design

Posted on 08/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

Mobile World Congress 2016 is about to start, and so we start seeing different leaks and concepts for new smartphones around the web. All of these are meant to come up at one point or the other throughout the conference, but the LG G5 we are featuring today is different and special for it is one of the most awaited of them all. Here comes, straight from the designer Vuk Nemanja Zoraja’s mind.

Whenever Mobile World Congress draws near several leaks and proof of concept start showing up featuring some of the devices to be shown at the event itself, and many times the concepts end up being showing the exact features of the products. One of the most awaited designs this year is the LG G5, featuring what looks like a very different and innovative design compared to what we usually see from the Korean brand. It is worth nothing that it does sport some similarities to the most recent iPhones, so we can see some stainless steel covering the smartphone’s sides as a frame. In the back we can see a protecting glass to what looks like the area where the camera will be, but it also keeps the colored leather covers users have grown used to. Users can see at simple glance that they are going for a more elegant design, similar to what they did with the G5. From what we understood based on LG’s comments about the G5, they are preparing a smartphone to compete directly with the much-touted Samsung Galaxy S7.

Based on the rumors going around the web, it would seem that LG are preparing something that would top the impact the G3 and G4 had, and some rumors even speak about the possibility of a completely metallic frame. Other sources also point out it might sport a 5.6 inches QHD screen with a 2560 X 1440 pixels resolution. The brain behind this smartphone is going to be the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 64 bits, featuring an Adreno 530 video chip. When it comes to the cameras, it will feature a frontal 8 MP one for big selfies and video conference in high quality, along with a back camera sporting impressive 16 MPs. This concept also shows a USB Type-C port and speakers.

All rumors aside, it is confirmed that we are going to see LG’s new smartphones at Mobile World Congress, and that the LG G5 is going to be among them. We probably don’t need official confirmation that the Korean giant is going to surprise and amaze everyone in it.

Google Chrome aims to help you find the right download buttons

Posted on 05/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

Google Chrome are looking for means to protect their users from fake and tricky download buttons seen in some shady corners of the web. Read all about their new protection measures, in this story!

You know the drill in some of the Internet’s shadiest websites: users access the site, and whenever they want to download something, anything, an endless barrage of buttons start showing up offering downloads, and most of them are spyware, ads, and links to things you would rather not download. Out of all those buttons, one is real, the others are a one-way ticket to spyware-land – a real Russian roulette of malware. The Google team is tired of the frustration this model produces on some users and how it brings down the overall browsing experience, so they have announced a new feature for their popular navigator Chrome called “Safe Browsing”. With this feature, users that make use of these techniques to trick users into downloading unwanted things will be flagged so users don’t have to suffer through them. So, Chrome expects to kill this business model entirely, as its all based on deceit and tricking users. No more fake Flash or Java updates? We say good riddance. Will it work? That remains to be seen, but we approve of the idea and what it aims to do.

This change is all part of Google’s new social engineering policy which starter last November. Starting with the next update, if Google detects this kind of engineering in any website (that is, fake downloads, tricky ads and buttons), users will be redirected to a warning page featuring a button where they can choose whether to take the risk and visit this website anyways, or to be redirected somewhere else. As it happens with all new features, we are sure this will start some discussions, and there will be some problems with its implementation, but Google themselves have set up a help page so websites that consider themselves to be wrongly targeted by the browser can expose their situation and solve the issues in the code – and this is all meant to give the user the best possible experience in the end, so it’s not like they have bad intentions. We hope other browsers such as Firefox, Opera, or Edge take a page off of Google’s book and start adding these types of features so we can let our parents or children browse freely, without having to worry about whether they will fill up our computers with malware or not.

Turn your cat into the best DJ

Posted on 03/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

With Cat Scratch Turntable, your cat can suddenly follow after his dreams and become the most sought-after DJ this year. You want to know how? This is the story for you.

Many people think that cats and kittens scratch anything they find in order to sharpen their claws and stretch their muscles, but after carefully discussing things with Mr. Whiskers, we’ve found out the true reason: they just don’t understand their cats’ passion for music and their dreams of sharing the stage with Snoop Catt and hunt Deadmau5.

If after reading the last paragraph you are wondering what it is that your cat really wants in life (is it just happy with its city life, chasing insects and biting computer cables, or would it rather spend its days celebrating and going from party to party getting other cats and kittens to dance to the sickest beats?), but don’t even bother asking, for we have the answer right here. The Cat Scratch Turntable, is a very original toy for cats that retails for just over $20 USD (it’s currently on sale!), and is a great alternative to scratching poles as it will keep your pet entertained while it waits for a discographic company to listen to its demo. Who knows, your kitty might head huge European festivals by this time next year!

Besides being shaped like a record player and having a special disc to scratch, most parts are mobile (the cat would notice otherwise, and would complain and ask for higher end sets!), so it’s a world-class toy that will even entertain humans. The design is simply fantastic, decorated with stickers and drawings that would make any human DJ green with envy, but as if all of this wasn’t enough, the whole thing is also made out of highly resistant cardboard which is really simple to put together, so humans only need to mount the parts following the instructions.

Be warned, though, we have noticed that after buying this, most users have reported a crowd of cats started showing up around the neighborhood. Music fans and paparazzi kittens of the cat music scene will start gathering in your backyard to listen to the newest DJ in the area, so we recommend using a spare room so the top feline DJ can rest and make its music without any interruptions. Rock on, kitten.

Snapchat: new stickers and voice calls

Posted on 02/02/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

Snapchat is working on a new chat interface which will bring it closer to many of the others popular apps in the market such as Whatsapp or Line. Read all about it, here!

A few Snapchat images have surfaced around the web in the last couple days, especially in sites aimed towards developers, and they seem to hint at something interesting: many new features are coming, including voice calls, video calls, and even stickers, which are very similar to the ones seen in Facebook or Line’s chat services.

The new interface has a new objective: to make this chat service more widely used. Regular users might know that most of the chat is done via sending pictures with emojis, filters, or videos and animations. On the chat itself, its mostly used to say “lol” or an equivalent, or just comment on what someone else sent. Still, the company of the ghostly mascot wants you to use the chat even more, for users to type out longer convos, and compete with chat services like Facebook or Whatsapp. In order to do this, Snapchat are working in bringing new, more fun interactive features. Currently, all users can do is upload pictures, and if both users happen to be online at the same time, do a video call.

Snapchat are one of the most popular chat apps for teens who access it every hour on average so they can keep up with their history or their friends, or check on celebrities, media and so on. What makes Snapchat special, though, is that none of this stuff is stored anywhere, and all info gets deleted once the user has seen it.

From what we saw in the screenshots that came up at developer forum XDA, the new images show new screens to pick up voice and video calls, and there’s even a new bar with buttons to make these calls along with indicators to show whether a contact is reading, listening, speaking or interacting in any way with a message.

There are also a few stickers, which are all the rage in apps like Line or WeChat. Evan Spiegel, the SnapChat CEO, said he admired these messengers for having found a monetization model that hinged on games, interactivity and microtransactions, which even Facebook had to imitate eventually in their chat services.

We can not tell as of now whether these features will roll out slowly or for all users at once, but the fact that SnapChat will be adding new features seems to be a reality. Get ready, Snapchat wants you to use their app exclusively and are willing to work for your time which in the end should be great for the users.

5 Amazing LEGO Doctor Who Sets

Posted on 13/01/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

Just like we told you last year, Doctor Who LEGO sets are a reality, and here are the best ones we have found around the web for all the whovians in the house. Check them out in this special feature!

Doctor Who has become quite the success and caught the geek world by storm in its latest couple of iterations. The LEGO team, who already have quite a reputation for creating quality sets based on all the things we geeks love have been working hard to provide the fans with the best quality figurines and playsets for all Whovians, so they can have some amazing props on display or to play with. We have been around the web looking for the coolest Doctor Who LEGO sets and we believe we have come up with the ultimate list of them, at the lowest prices and with the most iconic figurines. Check out our selection below these lines!

LEGO Doctor Who Deluxe Tardis Playset

When it comes to LEGO Doctor Who sets, our favorite one has to be the LEGO Doctor Who Deluxe Tardis Playset, for it not only includes the most popular Doctor (the eleventh) but also a very rich set with several characters and 665 pieces to play around with. This set costs $129.99 USD but is currently 8% off at just under $120 – while still rather on the expensive side, it’s the biggest, most detailed set and features all of the main characters which is always a plus. This is the perfect set to have on display on any geeky room.

LEGO Ideas Doctor Who Building Kit

Despite the eleventh Doctor being our favorite, it’s not like we don’t feel anything for the twelfth, played by Capaldi. In the LEGO Ideas Doctor Who Building Kit you will find the Doctor himself along with a TARDIS, the console room, Clara Oswald, two Daleks and a Weeping Angel you get to build. What’s more, if you still prefer the eleventh doctor, his figurine is also included so you get to pick your favorite lead. This set costs $59.99 and even comes with a booklet with trivia about the design and BBC television series

Dr. Who Level Pack – Lego Dimensions

Some people don’t really like the whole building aspect of LEGO but really love the figurines instead. It’s for them that this Dr. Who Level Pack inspired by Lego Dimensions (the Sci-Fi themed LEGO video game) exists for. In this set you will find a twelfth Doctor Who figurine along with a TARDIS and K-9 all ready for display on your favorite shelf – all for $29.99. Best of all, it’s currently on sale and you can get it for 25% off at $22.49.

Doctor Who the Time of Angels Set

The Doctor Who the Time of Angels Set is an extremely rare and hard to find set that is not sold at retail locations and can only bought through the internet. It is so rare it’s become quite the collectors item, and despite it’s relatively low price point (just $19.50 USD) it is a set that inspires respect for the truly dedicated fan. Warning, though, despite the picture including the figurines, these do not come with the set itself and need to be bought separately.

Doctor Who TARDIS Mini Construction Playset

And speaking of getting figurines, here’s the Doctor Who TARDIS Mini Construction Playset that comes with them.

This Charger Can Replenish Your Xbox One Controller Battery In 1 Minute

Posted on 13/01/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

A company by the name of PDP was present at CES 2016 where they showed a charger that could recharge an Xbox One controller battery in one minute. Read all the details in this feature!

Among all the new trinkets, technology and gadgets that appeared and were discussed at CES 2016, there was a quite interesting piece of hardware for Xbox One owners: a super charger for Xbox One wireless controllers that could completely replenish its battery in just under 60 seconds. This new technology for batteries already has a first working prototype, and according to what PDP said to popular gaming website Polygon, it works perfectly. Let’s admit it, too: the fact that there’s a product out there that can charge a battery in one minute and provide us with between eight and ten hours of continuous gameplay is nothing short of amazing.

The man in charge of the creation of such a device, Christopher Dingle, explained that this technology is unlike any other found on other fast-charging gadgets. PDP have straight up created a new type of power pack that doesn’t just work like regular lithium-based batteries, and basically doesn’t produce a chemical reaction to generate energy, but the energy is produced through physical reactions instead in a completely different process. This means that the useful life of the product will last way longer than a regular lithium battery and provide you with many years of gaming in comparison. Sure, getting a charger dock is an investment, but if you take good care of your systems, a gadget like this could even end up saving you money.

As of now, there is no confirmation nor release date for this product, or even the certainty that it will ever come out, but the company behind it is hopeful that they will be able to start a pre-order phase by the end of 2016 and release sometime in 2017. PDP also weren’t able to discuss a potential price for this product, but they think it’s gonna be around $99 USD – hopefully they don’t pull an Oculus and release for a much higher price! More interestingly, though, they confirmed they were also working on a PlayStation 4 version, which could be released simultaneously if they get a concept working in time.

The Galaxy S7 Might Be Water Proof And Use SD Cards

Posted on 12/01/2016 by Federico Lo Giudice

We are getting closer to the release date of the Samsung Galaxy S7, and it seems it will keep the best features of previous entries in the series, but many new ones. Find out all about them in this story!

Samsung keep innovating and surprising its userbase with improvements and new features in their mobile devices, but it seems the new Samsung Galaxy S7 attempts to return to the basics and return some classic features too. The new Galaxy S7 models by Samsung will feature in both its standard and curved version a slot for Micro SD, just like they did in the long gone past. Besides, they will be waterproof and have some kind of dust protection thanks to the IP67 system. Do all of this features sound familiar? Because these were all beloved features in the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Battery power will also be greatly enhanced, and the Galaxy S7 will sport a 3000 mAh battery in comparison to the 2550 mAh from current models. Its alternative version, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, could reach some 3600 mAh. This is logical, considering the new screen which is force-sensitive requires some extra power. What’s more, the first model could take up to two hours to do a full charge, while the Edge edition might take only 2,2 hours, with some rumors indicating that users might be able to perform inductive, wireless charging.

We can see Samsung are bringing several popular features that had been dropped in previous generations, being close to what we saw in the Samsung Galaxy S5. The Samsung Galaxy S6 was indeed a resounding success, but many users complained about the lack of HDD space and autonomy. If it isn’t broken, do not fix it, right?

The mentioned specifications aren’t the only ones that will receive upgrades or changes, as the camera will also be greatly enhanced. The Samsung Galaxy S7 will have only 12 megapixels, which is kind of surprising when we consider today’s standards when it comes to photography. This decision helps enhance performance in low light areas, but it still is something upsetting for a group of vocal fans. When it comes to the the front camera, it is going to feature a 5 megapixels one. The Samsung Galaxy S7 will feature on top 4 GB of RAM memory, and a QUAD HD screen.

Samsung are looking to renew and improve what we already saw in the Galaxy S6, bringing a similar design but improving its features and hardware for better performance. We are glad they listened to the user’s feedback, and great features from the past from the Galaxy S5 are coming back too. We can not wait to hear more about this upcoming phone once it gets officially introduced and put on sale.
