In honor of Doctor Who airing in the US last night, I decided to post this K-9 Papercraft Model that Tektonten built and featured on his blog. He got the slightly improved pattern from Huxter, which you can find here.
HaikugirlOz posted this completely amazing Doctor Who Crochet Set to her flickr stream and it defies words! This has got to be the best example of The Doctor’s hair I have ever seen crocheted, and one thing I really love about the Tenth Doctor is his awesome hair! The set includes not only The Doctor, but a TARDIS, a Dalek and cute, cuddly little Adipose, perfect to snuggle up to while watching the Tenth Doctor’s final episodes!
April Draven made this adorable Tenth Doctor Amigurumi for a swap on craftster and posted him on her blog. I am in love with him! He is even cuter than the real David Tennant! And the crocheted glasses are removable, too!
Kelly Szpunar at HunkyDory comes up with the best stuff. When this originally landed in my inbox I was thrilled,then disappointed as Halloween was over and geek crafts had been pretty well costumed…but after some discussion, it was decided that these amazing Doctor Who Costumes were too cool to hang onto until next year. The Doctor is so well done! And the take on the Dalek is too cool, I love that it is an “outfit” made to look Dalek-y and not a full Dalek suit made of carboard and spray painted tennis balls! And the super Doctor Who geek in me is thrilled that someone went as a TARDIS, since the TARDIS is supposed to be a living entity, after all.
What trip to England would be complete without a large amount of Doctor Who trivia, sight seeing and, of course, the new Doctor Who Experience at the Travel Museum in Coventry. As soon as my sister-in-law mentioned it, months before our trip, it became a cemented part of our plans. I mean, yes, it is nice to sit in a pub that was once frequented by C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carrol, great to take in the medieval architecture, and wonderful to get real, authentic fish’n’chips. But I’m a geek, and geeks like what geeks like, and this geek likes (loves, actually) Doctor Who.
I was happily googling along, attempting to find Doctor Who themed clothes and/or toys for our impending baby (I like that, it sounds dramatic), when I ran across this awesome Torchwood fan comic Torchwood Babiez. Spastamagoria and Jigglycat have apparently worked very hard to represent our favorite Torchwood characters as cute little kids that you just kind of want to hug. And have no fear, the pet pterodactyl from the hub is even represented, as a cute little stuffed animal that Gwenn carried around, Tosh has her own mini Apple computer, and when we run into The Doctor, Rose is carrying a Dalek toy. I giggled through several pages, and it is safe to say I am now hooked on this particular livejournal blog.
