Tap into the force of Luck with Chris “muckychris” Milnes’ 3D printed geeky Budai statues, which swaps the jelly bellied deity’s head with characters from Star Wars and other sci-fi franchises.
As much as I love Groot and Rocket’s two for one deal, I think Palpatine is the only one that fits seamlessly into the monk’s body. That’s creepy. Chris sells the statues on his Etsy shop. They’re available in three sizes: $8 (USD) for 2″, $18 for 4″ and $28 for 6″.
“AWWWWW! That’s the most adorable hyper-violent execution I’ve ever seen” you’ll say once you see the penguin version of the legendary Judge Dredd in action. Why designers Daniel Balmforth and Steve Scholz decided to create this creature and hand it off to Joe Amaro for painting, we’ll never know. What we do know is that it’s weirdly intriguing and awesome.
What I want to know is the kind of penguin this Dredd is. Is he a gentoo that can hit 22 mph in the water? How about an emperor, incubating his baby or stealing someone else’s (while shooting the crap out of armed gang members). Does he know no fear of land animals, because his habitat doesn’t include any land-going predators? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED!
If you can uncover any further information regarding the species and abilities of Penguin Dredd, please let us know. If you want, you can buy him for $40 here.

Ever wondered how much money in video games and science fiction movies would be worth in our world? Well, thanks to the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau, you can now convert between a number of fictitious currencies.
Developed as a promotional stunt by Money in Advance, the Intergalactic Exchange Bureau can convert currencies from Star Wars, Star Trek, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire and a couple of others. Whether you’re paying in Gold dragons, Septims, Creds, or Galactic Credits, you’re covered. Though don’t try and pay in Rupees. They don’t take Rupees.
Of course, they didn’t have actual exchange rates to work from, and they came up with their own estimates based on their independent assessment of the value of objects in the various fictional universes. That said, real-world currency relationships were based on actual market values. Though what the price of frozen concentrated orange juice in New York has to do with the price of lightsabers in the Dagobah system, I don’t know.
