It's really tough to decide which is more awesome: The Indiana Jones who's been amputated at the waist? The "extremely articulated" Batman, whom one could misread as being "extremely articulate"? Sorta loving Dumbledore and his phoenix, but the best thing here is definitely the Ark of the Covenant business card holder. Thou shalt not gaze upon my fax number, or thy face wilt melt!

Surely you have a friend who hasn't let go of her My Little Pony love? Wouldn't she dig a diner? Or a pony with brushable hair and her own radio-controlled scooter?

Perhaps you have an evil little sister for whom this would be an appropriate present?

Severus Snape! Unfortunately, he looks like a nun with a bad (drug) habit.

Whether you know someone who loves Hitchcock or hates Barbie, this will be the right peck pick.

Twelve inch talking David Bowie from Labyrinth? Want! Love the part in the movie when he says, "Fear me. Love me. Do as I say… And I will be your slave."

So many choices here. Over on the left, there's Power Girl, who is "realistically proportioned." Here on the right there's the Barbie Wonder Woman. But down below, there's Amazon Warrior Wonder Woman, who comes without the cumbersome cape and bears a battle-ax and shield instead. Fierce!

Tons and tons of Beatles stuff says "Love, love me do."

Dude. Everything Lebowski-inspired except the white Russian. And stuff for Dexter fans, too!

Think you it odd, spending over $100 on a Yoda figure? Believe not in the force, you do. Understand not the awesomeness.

A fully-functioning R2D2 that guards your room and follows you around? Must-have.

It's unsettling that this figure allows you to take Heath Ledger's head off, no? Maybe this "fan" stuff goes too far. And the price is rather high.

Ah, yes. The Santa dreidel, "sure to confound and confuse both Jews and gentiles," makes everything better. And it's priced to move.

R2-D2 Digital Video Projector (!!!!)
The pros: Freakin' awesome. Projects DVDs and iPod videos onto your ceiling or wall. You can also project jpegs or video games. Holy crap. As if that were not enough, the wireless remote is shaped like the Millennium Falcon. Genius!!!!
The cons: Price tag of $2800. D'oh! Santa needs a trust fund!

RoboPanda is terrifying. Seriously. Especially when you take into account that it sings. Look at the way it gazes into the panda with fur, as if to say, "You're more real than I am. I am feeling jealousy. I may have to kill you, even though you are not technically alive." ($149.95)

The iTower looks kind of weird and we're not sure how it sounds, but for those with limited space this is a great idea: Stick it in the corner, by the bed, in the bathroom, etc. Electronics with small footprints are your friends. ($179.95)

Light-up leash for dogs who go to raves! ($39.95)

Chargepod is not as elegant as Multipot, but it's still a good idea: all your crap gets charged in the same place and a little indicator lights let you know what's charging up. One problem is the crazy spider design which will never fit on a teeny night table. ($99.95)

AlcoHAWK is a personal blood-alcohol content screener. Is this encouraging drinking and driving? No! Because it says so, right at the bottom: Never drink and drive. But yeah, if you're worried about your next DUI, go ahead and invest. Also: If you receive this as a gift, someone is probably trying to save your life. There will be an intervention by New Year's, for sure. ($139.95)

So these Komachi knives come in different colors to prevent cross-contamination (one for meat, one for fish, one for veggies, etc.) but they're also just pretty, and, sometimes, that's enough. ($24.95 each)
