Borg Cube and Picard Plushies Must Be Assimilated

Posted on 21/04/2022 by hite

Because Kidrobot refuses to stop taking my money, the toy company is releasing a $50 combo plushie pack featuring an LED-lit Borg Cube and Locutus of Borg (the Borg designation for Captain Jean-Luc Picard after his assimilation in 2366). Obviously, these will be perfect for cuddling during a weekend-long Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon.

The Borg Cube features LED lights that glow green when turned on to “create the perfect ambiance for assimilation.” I didn’t know there was a perfect ambiance for assimilation, but you learn something new every day. The top also opens to reveal a hidden compartment inside, large enough for storing Borg Picard. Like a genie in a bottle, except a Picard in a cube.

I’m surprised I even have to go through the motions of buying stuff like this; you’d think Kidrobot would just automatically deduct the cost from my bank account and ship them when they’re available. I guess they’re probably just unsure how many of a particular product I want. Which, in this case, is all of them.

You might have to be a die-hard fan to get ‘Star Trek: Picard’

Posted on 22/07/2019 by Engadget RSS Feed

Star Trek: Picard feels like a watershed decision in the streaming TV wars: A show so niche that it cannot possibly find a mainstream audience. I'm not complaining since it seems to have been designed to appeal to my fanboy brain. But is Amazon going...

Borg Cube Bedding: Resisting Sleep is Futile

Posted on 13/12/2016 by Shane McGlaun

I think we can all agree that while maniacal, the Borg Queen was rather hot. If you can’t resist her and want to celebrate all that is Borg, you really need this Borg Cube bedding.

The set includes pillowcases and a duvet cover, which my wife tells me is meant to cover a comforter and make it look different. In other words, it’s designed to assimilate other comforters. That means I could take that lame comforter we have on the bed and Borgify it.

The set is available in twin XL, full/queen, or king sizes. The queen and king sizes include two pillowcases. No matter what size you get, it will cost you $79.99 at ThinkGeek.

Star Trek Borg Cube Coffee Mug: Caffeine Resistance is Futile

Posted on 17/05/2016 by Shane McGlaun

The greatest of all Star Trek: The Next Generation villains were the Borg. All the Borg wanted to do was to kidnap you, fill you with electronics, and steal all your tech. All your stuff are belong to the Borg. Like the Borg, when it comes to your morning caffeine addiction, resistance is futile.

You need to put your coffee into this Star Trek Borg Cube mug. It’s square, it holds coffee, and unlike a real Borg cube, it has a handle. It is also made from ceramic, so it won’t withstand a hit from a photon torpedo. The big downsides are that you can’t microwave it or wash it in the dishwasher. If you’re like most of the people in my office, you’re only going to rinse it out every once in a while anyway.

Get yours for $12.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. We know you can’t resist this so just get out your credit card and buy it.

Borg Cube Paper Lantern: Darkness is Futile

Posted on 23/11/2015 by Shane McGlaun

I always thought that the Borg were the coolest of the Star Trek villains. I continue to hope that the new Trek flicks will have to fight the Borg at some point. Trekkies who find that resistance is futile when it comes to illuminating their room may want to check this out.

This Japanese style paper floor lantern has patterns on the shade that look like a Borg cube. It measures 18-inches per side, and has a foot toggle for turning it on or off.

The lantern is designed to use a 40W bulb – don’t use more or you might end up destroying the Borg collective inside (and lighting your house on fire). You can pick yours up for $39.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

Cybernetic Head System: You Will Be Assimilated

Posted on 23/10/2014 by Conner Flynn

This piece of cyberpunk wearable art from artist Dominic Elvin will upgrade your brain with some side mounted LEDs and built-in optical targeting with threat analyzing systems. Nah. It will just make you look like an early Borg model.

It’s perfect for Halloween or cosplay. I’m pretty sure it won’t dig into your cranium and inject nannites into your bloodstream. But if it does, you’ll just be a part of the collective. You’ll get your designation, do your drone work everyday and then retire to your alcove at night for some rest. Oh wait, most of us are already doing that.

But at least this wearable art will make you look pretty cool.

Borg Eye Patch: Seven of Yarr

Posted on 24/06/2014 by Conner Flynn

I figured that Borg eye patches are what you get when the Borg assimilate pirates. Nope. Atomic Girl made this cool Borg inspired accessory from resin and you know it’s going to be the latest fashion craze. You’ll be seeing these on the runway any day now.

Each eye patch is finished with metallic paints and lacquer to give it that authentic and awesome Borg look. They would look great with any kind of costume, especially a steampunk outfit.
