Oh, bless your hearts. You read "Star Wars" Cast Wall Mural and thought we just meant Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and the like, didn't you? No. Noooooooo. Nope. Nopity-nope, Leslie Knope. "'Star Wars' Cast Wall Mural", in this instance, means the ENTIRE cast ...
"Clothes don't make the man," the saying goes. Don't ever try to pass that old saw off on a woman who cherishes her shoes, unless you happen to be out of range of anything light enough to throw but heavy enough to hurt. Going a step further, definitely don't try selling that to innovative shoemaker Kayla Stojek, ...
One thing hasn't changed a bit since we were knee-high to Shaq: when it comes to the glee of perfectly safe shoot-'em-up warfare, it is still Nerf or nothin'. Gotta give today's kids this, we damn sure didn't have anything close to the Nerf N-Strike Modulus Battlescout ICS-10, a stylish mid-sized blaster with a ...
Just for a moment, let's wash away the hype and assume that the rapidly approaching "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" proves to be a bit more, shall we say, "Superman Returns" than "The Dark Knight". Judging from every still and speck of footage we've seen, we at least feel perfectly certain of this much: Batman ...
Darth Vader, ladies and gentlemen: Worst. Boss. Ever. Take some gratis advice: when your co-worker gets good and thoroughly put into his place for snarking on the chosen religion of the guy who signs his paychecks - and by "put into his place", we mean "his trachea collapsed like an empty Red Bull can" - take a ...
The stereotype of the basement-dwelling, romantically awkward nerd isn't going anywhere. Thanks, Chuck Lorre and THE BIG BANG THEORY. Thank you, and die in a fire. Look, with the commercialized amorous farce of Valentine's Day right around the corner, let's set the record straight: we know perfectly well how to ...
Is the Air Bonsai what we would call especially useful? Unless the ancient Japanese legend of "little stars" at the galaxy's edge made to grant wishes proves true, not really. Is this magical floating tree's pastoral sort of "magic" very cool? Oh, absolutely. A deeply spiritual reverence for mankind's sacred ...
Need A Sly Conscience To Be Your Guide? Better Get This "Better Call Saul" Funko POP! Vinyl Some people are immune to good advice. Don't be one of them. Thanks to Funko, you can now and always let Albuquerque's most trusted potato-eater be your questionable conscience with this brand-new Jimmy McGill "Better Call ...
Whatever your take on the last two years' controversial Academy Award nominations, we can nearly all agree that the Oscars trend toward being just masturbatory enough to almost completely ignore any consideration for which movies audiences actually ENJOYED the most. We submit an entirely separate measure of a ...
Don't get it twisted, younglings: the only thing more important than a dependable lightsaber, trust blaster and fast ship to a Jedi waging a seemingly endless galactic struggle against the Empire, Sith Lords and the First Order is a pair of socks to keep one's feet drier than the driest dune of Tatooine. Every day, ...
For the hardest of the hardcore "old-school" gamers, there's still nothing that lends a home such a classically cool atmosphere as the experience of a classic arcade cabinet. Thans to the Power-Up Arcade Light Switch, we can now give every room a childhood ambience so authentic, we can smell the chilli dogs and hear ...
Warner Bros. and DC have decided to address some mild fan skepticism toward the upcoming anti-hero ensemble action flick SUICIDE SQUAD the way any marketing pro in the know would: just slap some Queen on it. You know, like you do. The two-and-half minute clip is pretty standard fare, as DC trailers go. It ...
It came from beyond the yard – The Death Star Barbecue, as a planet like object it now orbits your home, because of the gravity of your desire for barbecue chicken, grilled steak and hot dogs. Do you like barbecuing outside with your friends? Do you like all things Star Wars? Well, buckle-up, the Death Star ...
Yes, welcome to Peter S. Beagle's private booth in Hell - still being alive, this great man himself hasn't even seen this exclusive preview: Unicorn Dust, a spangle-laden paint that could only be a byproduct of this realm's rarest, most beautiful and revered magical guardian of the woodlands. You know what? We draw ...
January 2016 will go down as one bittersweet month in the hearts of HARRY POTTER fans the world over. Having spent about half the month coming to grips with the sudden and unexpected death of Alan Rickman, the man who breathed a sinister kind of life into Severus Snape, we know we could certainly do with some pleasant ...
Now, here's a hitherto underutilized feature: hyper-color. Thermonotes thoroughly personalizes your scribblings with a truly unique "touch" - a big, bright handprint squarely on the cover.

We always had a feeling that some of the more risky fashions of the '90s would inspire whole revolutions eventually, once the rest of the world caught up with just how far ahead of their time they were. Even we're a little gobsmacked to see trends in illuminated clothing that have us thinking, "Screw the self-lacing ...
Exploring the vastness of the STAR WARS universe alongside a truly versed scholar of the franchise is a whole different animal from experiencing it with a casual fan. The captains of the franchise revival led by STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS can proclaim all they want that the fabled STAR WARS Expanded Universe is ...
Thanks to J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and Disney, a whole new generation has fallen head-over-lightsabers in nerdy love with the magic of the STAR WARS universe, less the truly unfortunate tragedies of enduring the awful, awful prequels. With those newborn love affairs, comes an introduction to the galaxy far, ...
Coding isn't so much the indispensable career tool of tomorrow as today's seemingly essential-at-all-ages new little brother reading, writing, and arithmetic. Schools the world over have begun instructing tots who occasionally still struggle with "Don't put things up your nose...or others' noses" in the foundational ...
Everything could always be a little bit more awesome. And we do mean, EVERYTHING. For example, here's our great question of the moment: why should we make an entire expansive and imaginative Lego universe for Batman, Gandalf and The Doctor to play in when we would just as soon plummet into all that high adventure ...
To see the world from 360 degrees has been a lofty desire for all types of people, industry and governments. Why is that? The potential uses for photographers, in every type of industry, is nothing less than endless. The technology to capture still frames and video in 360 3D is not new, it is, and has been, expensive ...
Space, it is the finale frontier, staring at it with piercing eyes evokes boundless curiosity that stirs the desire to travel beyond the stars, off this world, to experience the unknown.

“Zombies are everywhere!” You see them in movies, in commercials, during parties, even in bars late at night, and they abound in the gaming industry. How did it happen? No one really knows, but the zombie craze is in full swing nationally and internationally. In fact, every kid knows what a zombie is, and, they know ...
Darth Vader represented the best the Dark Side had to offer, and he only used the best equipment available, especially his helmet. Vader’s helmet was the ultimate air purifier, because of his physical condition after his fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, which left him charred and almost dead, the air filtration ...
Speculative scientific minds have occasionally pointed to the STAR WARS franchise as a potential visionary fictional portrait of orbital weaponry's eventual horizons. The homespun inventors of YouTube's Make channel have reached a conclusion that the most likely plausible element of the Imperial Star Destroyer might ...
The Super Mario Bros are legendary characters among old and new gamers, even people unfamiliar with video games, and there are more than you can shake a game controller at, have heard of the two famous brothers. And, when it comes to a fan base, the Super Mario Brothers are in no short supply. Whether you’re an ...
Certain things in our world just make everything better. Without fail. Peanut butter, sriracha sauce and bacon somehow make anything and everything more delicious than words do justice. There is nothing that can't be made so compelling as to leave us hanging on every spoken breath when narrated by Morgan Freeman. ...
Face it, this all panned out just about exactly as expected: about two weeks and change into its worldwide release, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS has already sunk James Cameron's chick-flick period romance leviathan TITANIC to reign as the second-highest grossing domestic release in history with Cameron's Smurf-war ...
Like all good geeks, we wear our nerdy passions on our sleeves and let our love science shine brightly as the most luminous Heavenly bodies. Just how brightly, you ask? Well, gee, how about lighting up our workspace with this Moon Lamp from Firebox, for starters? How does THAT bake your ziti? Sadly, the real ...
Well, all credit to Warner Bros. and DC: they clearly know the Justice League has some serious merchandising catch-up to play in order to gain ground on nearly four years of Marvel's Avengers licensing blitz. Hey, at least these Justice League Paper Clips are tapping into the insultingly underestimated office supply ...
For some of us geeks, our fandom transcends age, maturity and just "liking" a show into something more akin to omnipresent proud nationalism. It isn't so much a matter of discerning the places where the flags of our allegiances can and cannot be appropriately flown, but just how conspicuously we can make them wave in ...
Pretty much every enticing geeky gadget we feature here on Unique Hunters stems from the same general point of origin: someone with uncommon know-how possessed both a creative practical notion and the skill to bring it to life. When it comes to the Inner Selfie Stick, the less intimately familiar we're made with ...
Had InGen simply downshifted a few gears after the first Jurassic Park tragically failed, we can't help but think Hatching Dinosaur Candles such as these could've capitalized on the deadly tragedy's notoriety in seriously profitable fashion. OK, so you tried opening your own grand Busch Gardens replete with beasts ...
Oh, my. Oh, dear. Look, The Great Old Ones have never exactly had fuzzy-bunny feelings for humanity, but something about repeatedly thumping our asses on this Cthulhu Space Hopper just makes us nervous that the all-powerful man-octopus-dragon ruler of R'lyeh might just emerge from the depths to take rather violent ...
Combatting the barely measurable awfulness of the STAR WARS prequels takes little real talent or creativity - most of the time. At the very least, nobody will ever exceed Red Letter Media's hours of takedowns spanning the disastrous trilogy of THE PHANTOM MENACE, THE CLONE WARS, and REVENGE OF THE SITH for ...
In the pursuit of our dreams of rocketing bravely into the inky solitude of space, we've all repurposed a discarded Maytag box with little more than a few magic markers, crawled into an empty dryer, or even nagged our parents into building us a handcrafted lunar module in the backyard. Hell, for us, that's an ...
It's one thing when some monkey-see-monkey-do goes wrong after some doofus botches an imitation of something seen on TV or in a movie or video game and leaves some hapless accomplice in idiocy in traction. That's just the happenstance of either "somehow didn't know better" or "did it anyway". On the other hand, ...
There are Wookies, and then there's Chewbacca, the grand furball among furballs. Songs have been sung to honor his name, but only Thinkway Toys has given a 17" figurine of Han Solo's loyal buddy full animation with a lush, shiny coat of full-body fur. Watch in wonder as Chewie not only moves his head, mouth and ...
Prepare to feel the Force flow through you. The STAR WARS Force Trainer II Hologram Experience turns your body into a perfect wireless controller with no need whatsoever of magic bacteria or whatever the sweet-and-sour hell that nonsense was that Liam Neeson tried to pass off in THE PHANTOM MENACE. No, this is ...
A hoodie is as good as a coat of armor. Sure, it happens to be lightweight, cozy and a seemingly lifesaving convenience for its namesake hood and roomy pockets, but it's also often the flag of our fandom, our coat of arms. Fitting, then, that this timely STAR WARS Captain Phasma Armor Hoodie faithfully recreates the ...
SHERLOCK fans, rejoice. Holmes may essentially fail at preparing a good cup of coffee, but let this officially BBC-licensed glowing 221b Door Mug remind you that cream nor sugar is a suspicious enough foreign substance to merit chucking perfectly drinkable java down the drain. Hang on a second! Don't misunderstand ...
Bed. The Final Frontier. These are the naps of Starship Sleepytime... There's an irresistible intersection where geeky nostalgic kitsch meets charmingly adorable.

Is Littered With Death, Destruction, Uncertainty And A Lot Of Familiar Faces All things must come to an end.
