If Theodor Geisel lived until this day and age and decided to write kids’ books based on video games and sci-fi, then these would be the covers and probable titles of those books. These incredible covers were created by DeviantArt artist DrFaustusau and he’s got a whole gallery of them for your viewing pleasure.
Hit the break for the rest of our top picks from his Seussian series.
Listen, I’m not saying this ride-in Dalek toy isn’t amazingly cool, I just don’t think it’s targeted at the right demographic. Dr. Who has never really been a Saturday morning or after-school type TV series, and I feel that 99% of the kids out there today will have no clue what a Dalek is. I mean I didn’t even know how to pronounce it correctly until I watched this promotional video of kids who are unrealistically excited to ride around in these.
Available in 5 colors, each Dalek stands ~50 inches tall, features 360 degree steering, 10 Dalek sounds and sayings, lights and is powered by an included 6V rechargeable battery. The not so cool parts? They’ll set you back ~$317!!(£199.99) AND are only recommended for kids aged 3-6. Lame!
I was hooked on sci-fi the first time I saw Star Wars on video when I was a kid. I missed the first two in the theaters, but I saw Return of the Jedi like 18 times in one weekend. The New Star Trek film starts this week and to celebrate Blockbuster polled sci-fi fans to find the most popular starship captain.
According to the poll, the most popular captain was Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly. Following him were James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Han Solo, and William Adama. Seriously, Picard is a better captain than Reynolds and Kirk, and he had all those catchy phrases like “Make it So.”
