There’s been a lot of pictures posted online of people gender swapping Star Trek characters of various franchises recently, thanks to FaceApp. Here is a compilation of some of our favorite ones!

IT EXISTS: An Interactive Talking Animatronic Deadpool Head!
Bored at home? Want a virtual companion to keep you entertained? The new Marvel Legends interactive “R-Rared” Deadpool head is here just for that purpose!
- Have you ever wanted to own a piece of me, Deadpool? Now you can, you lucky stiff. This Marvel Legends Deadpool’s Head Premium Interactive Head is your ticket to nerd supremacy
- Hath a Deadpool’s Head not eyes? It does! And it’s filled with motors and sensors, for all that sweet sweet expressive movement and interactivity! Just like your head, I assume.
- It’s important for you to know that Deadpool’s Head talks a lot, unlike what happened in that movie we absolutely can’t reference by name. You know the one.
From the jerks who brought you Marvel Legends, including that shiny, expensive glove, a bunch of helmets with glowing eyes (oooOoooOhhh!) and a ton of Build-A-Figure pieces that you’ll step on one day, comes the premium, interactive, app-enhanced, Deadpool’s Head. Features over 600 lines of content that are absolutely not guaranteed to be funny, because is anything in life really guaranteed? But we tried. We really, really tried. A bunch of comic book writers, editors, stand-up comedians, and hacks from Hasbro worked as hard as they possibly could to make you laugh. So we hope you laugh. WE NEED THIS, OKAY? Ahem, anyway. It’s definitely a head that looks like Deadpool’s head, though, if Deadpool were a real person with a head.

Do NOT Use Popcorn Button!
The instructions sometimes warn us against doing something, but do not explain why. We all want to know why. What would happen if we did what we are specifically told not to do? Nick Wibert succumbed to the temptation so that you don’t have to.

Build Your Very Own Lightsaber With These Affordable Star Wars Replica Prop Kits
Want to build your very own lightsaber at home? Based on the official lightsabers from Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Vader, these faithful replica prop kits by HamiltonProps are 3D printed and designed to be as close to the original screen-used props as plastic will allow.
The kit is printed in incredible detail (0.1 micron layer height), using PLA, with each piece printed in its respective colour. This means, even out of the box you have a pretty accurate looking prop already (though, for a slightly reduced cost, the kit can also be ordered with all parts in a single colour, either printed in white, grey or black, depending on stock, if you have a specific request, please message me beforehand).
For best results though, and with a bit of time and love, this kit can be transformed into something truly spectacular, and really, thats where all of the fun comes in with these 3D printed kits. There are honestly a thousand different ways you can approach finishing something like this (and there are so many wonderful tutorials online too), though if you would like to prep and finish this in a similar manner to the example shown in this listing, I would recommend the following items…
– Wet and Dry Sandpaper 120-800 grit, (ladies nail files can be great for detail sanding too)
– Filler Primer
– Acrylic Paints (I use spray paint to lay down my base coats, and brushes for fine details and weathering)
– Screws, nails, chains, anything abrasive (to beat up and weather the paintwork)
– Clear Matte Lacquer (to protect all that hard work weathering and detailing your prop)
Recreating the Famous Sweetrolls from Skyrim [Video]
Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?
From Andrew Rea:
Well folks, after years of requests, they’re finally here: the most tempting polygonal pastries ever put to PC, Sweetrolls from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I’ve been terrified to take on this digital dessert for years, but after developing a recipe using a buttery-sweet brioche, I think it’s finally ready for the main stage. [Insert joke about stealing sweetrolls here].
Wait, What? Biology Student Taxidermies Rocket Raccoon
Biology student Katy Rose of Reanimate took an already dead, naturally sourced raccoon and turned it into a real-life Rocket Raccoon.
Soft-mount plush taxidermy raccoon (naturally sourced/no animal was killed for this project), poseable armature, and custom outfit! His arms and legs had to be extended since his extremities are far longer than an actual raccoon. Overall, I’m really happy with how he turned out.
I am a 25 year old Biology student specializing in animal science. As a lifelong animal lover and artist, I had the brilliant idea to combine my passions. I am self taught, but thanks to my anatomy and art background, taxidermy came almost naturally. I am a vegetarian and animal activist, none of the animals I work with were killed for the sake of my art. I don’t support taking lives, and actually greatly oppose it. Unfortunately, animals die everyday from causes beyond our control, and that is where I come in. I do my best to breathe new life into these poor creatures, allowing them to be loved and appreciated even after death.
It actually looks great, but I don’t think I’d put him on display in my house. I just don’t feel all that comfortable around taxidermied animals.
