Voltron Star Shooter: Its A Transforming Camera Folks!
What you see here is an ordinary working camera that transforms into FREAKING VOLTRON!! Although its a product of the late 80’s doobybrain.com reminds us the word “awesome” is defined by combining robots and cameras. I do remind you this is a working camera. The SLR lens is fake but does in fact shoot 110 film. Since I missed out on this little gem when I was a kid I’m gonna see if I can pick one up on ebay.

Homemade Mech Robot: OMG He’s Gonna Kill Us All!!
Carlos Owens has way to much time on his hands. He has built an 18 foot tall metal monster. This homemade mech is a true testament DIY. This is quite an impressive build.This behemoth is a full scale mech that is able to mirror the moves of its human pilot. Its made of steel with a complex network of cables and hydraulics. Currently the mech can raise its arms bend at the knees and do the occasional sit up (hey a robot needs to stay in shape).He invested 4 years and $25,000 but isn’t done yet. He considers this to be just a prototype and plans on building 2 more of these things which will be lighter and more maneuverable. He does dream of military application but really just wants to entertain robot fans by hosting Mech Vs. Mech battles.

Neca’s The Dark Crystal’s skekSil, The Skeksis
NECA’s Cult Classics proudly debuts this 6″ figure of the next in line for the Skeksis throne and the baddest of the Dark Crystal baddies, skekSil
Personally, the Skeksis from Jim Hensons “The Dark Crystal” always freaked me out. In fact this movie terrified me when I wasa kid and couldn’t watch the flick in its entirety until I was in my late teens. Glad I overcame my fear cause The Dark Crystal is an awesome movie full of imagination and wonder. Though the Skeksis still give me the heeby geebies I’d be proud to display a smaller, plastic version on my shelf in honor of Jim Henson.
