Channel Changer Ray Gun – how can you resist?
Yes, yes, and yes again. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love the idea of shooting Big Brother off the screen with the Channel Changer Ray Gun? Anyone? No, just looking towards the back? No? Didn’t think so.
Not only do you get to feel properly lazy and blissfully childish with this awesome toy but it also happens to be the ultimate in Barbarella style space kit…
Sat Nag – the entirely useless in-car navi-comp gift that somehow keeps on giving
“In 100 meters, I’m going to talk to you in that special voice, which should let you know you’ve upset me in some way that is bound to be your fault,” so says the Sat Nag which shows you’ll never need to be without your partner again as you struggle to find your way on the road.
Yes, your car journey will never be devoid of the wonderful feelings of anger, frustration and near-on divorce. Just pop the Sat Nag on your dash and your marriage will feel right on track even if your way through the traffic isn’t. Absolutely no GPS use whatsoever but an incredibly patronising female voice…
Googlopoloy – organise the world's information and buy out Bill Gates
Bit of a mystery as to where this one came from or even if it exists in hard form, which I doubt it does unfortunately, but the concept of Googlopoly is surely the only version of the Waddingtons classic…
Graffiti Star Wars AT-AT for auction at Christie's
I guess this is what happens when you park your imperial vehicle in the wrong end of town. Imagine the driver of this graffitied AT-AT having to explain to Lord Vader just why he’s returning back to base covered in rebel stencil art and Aurebesh scrawls…
USB 2.0 LEGO Bluetooth adapter
I’m not quite so much of a LEGO freak/geek as most but there is something cute about this 2×2 LEGO brick Bluetooth 2.0 adapter
Half price sale at Firebox throughout June

Hack your vinyl toy collection, turn a Munny into a speaker
I can’t believe I haven’t ever seen this before, or even thought of doing it to one of my many Munny, Qee, or Bearbrick vinyl toys. A chap over at Instructables has put up his instructions on how to melt the face off a Munny, and insert a speaker in its place.
He used a pair of 3″ Tang Band bamboo fiber cones, however depending on how big your chosen toy is (I’m eyeing off one of my 9″ Qees currently), you could really choose any size of cone for the job…
R/C Jump Jet indoor flyer – like a Harrier but without needing years of training
There’s no deep purpose to the RC Jump Jet. It’s a toy, but it’s a very fun one and ludicrously well designed to boot.
Four gyroscopes, on top of the craft, power its flight giving it perfect 3D control…
Dalek voice-changeing hemet: the gift that keeps on giving
I do a rubbish Dalek impression. Everyone does. We all think it’s quite convincing when we stick our heads into a fan and shout, “Ex-ter-min-ate!”. Then you watch an episode of Dr Who and realise it isn’t.
But don’t worry japesters and Whovians out there, hours of fun have just arrived and for a paltry £40 too. You might look like a bit of penis jumping round with this Dalek helmet on your bonce but you are going to sound awesome.
Some would look at a novelty voice changer
I Want One Of Those offering bubble wrap keyring on pre-order, hurry and get one!
This is the third time I’ve written about Bandai’s Mugen Puchi Puchi keyring, or ‘bubble wrap’ keyring, since September – you could say I’m obsessed with this stuff.
Replicating the experience of popping bubble wrap bubbles, the £7.95 keyring has landed over at I Want One Of Those, on pre-order. And yep, the English version still contains that brilliant ‘easter egg’ feature, with every hundredth pop…
