Coming soon to our Nerd Approved Shop—this amazing TARDIS Hooded Bath Robe!
Dress up like a TARDIS with this awesome Doctor Who TARDIS Hooded Blue Cotton Bath Robe! Featuring a design that makes this bathrobe look almost exactly like a TARDIS, which looks almost exactly like a classic British phone booth, this Bath Robe is perfect for any fan of the Doctor Who television series. It’s even got a stylish large hood to help keep you extra cozy!
Pre-order this one while you can since stock will fly once it arrives in July.
I’m not sure what would spark the inspiration to style a gas mask after an Aperture Science Portal Gun, but it works! Incorporate it into your Portal cosplay or display it in your gas mask collection (people collect everything). If you decide to order one, I’d ask if it’s functional before you try to use it to protect yourself from GLaDOS.
Speaking of buying your own, Two Horns United is taking names for a waiting list. He’ll be fulfilling orders this summer, and the mask will cost $280.
Check out two more photos after the break.
Macetech has developed an interesting set of LED glasses that look like something people in 1983 would expect people of 2012 to be wearing. Although the glasses have been featured in a Lytro gallery, a recent Reddit post seems to provide the only details:
The shades are a 20×6 matrix (with some pixel missing of course) driven by SPI from an integrated Arduino-compatible in the right temple. There is a Lithium-Polymer battery on the left temple. You can charge the glasses through USB, and download new code to it over the same connection. A button on the right temple allows switching between modes or auto cycling animated patterns.
Currently, there’s no word on whether the specs will eventually be sold at all, let alone as a finished product or kit.
Hit the jump to check out a 10 second video of the glasses doing their thing.
Something tells me Link would have a lot more confidence if he was addressed in this fashion rather than a simple “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone! Take This.”

All this time you’ve thought Darth Vader was being evil when he was just trying to let you know he’d finally finished that some-assembly-required bike. Just because he’s a Sith Lord doesn’t mean he can snap his fingers and make it all work. He has to break out the tools and read the directions just like the rest of us. Somewhere, a little Sith in training will be so happy when he sees what Vader got him for his birthday.

The modeling sprue on this t-shirt has all the parts you’ll need to assemble your very own Avengers. It gets right down to business and includes just the key pieces to each costume. Hulk has his pants Thor has his hammer and Black Widow has guns, and boots? I suppose a girl can’t be expected to kick evil’s ass in just any old thing. The boots are an absolute must.

Chances are you’ll never be as smooth as Sterling Archer, but at least you can try by wearing this long sleeved t-shirt sporting an image of his thickly outlined suit. It may be a conversation starter on what is possibly the world’s greatest animated series, but it won’t hide your man-boobs or give you the stealth of a secret agent.
