Complete your LEGO collection with this 1 ft tall wooden LEGO figure


A few weeks ago I told you about a 4D anatomy model of a LEGO figure and today I have a 12 inch tall wooden LEGO figure for your LEGO fanatical fun.

This large LEGO man is made by Etsy artist Tom Stringham of MoreCowsThanPeople. The model is a very accurate replica of the iconic LEGO figure down to moving arms, feet, hands and even the head.

Tom makes these models in maple or cherry wood with a hand-rubbed finish to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.

If you’re a LEGO fan, you’re probably reaching for your credit card to buy one, but you might change your mind when you find out how much one of these models costs. $495. Still interested? Head over to the MoreCowsThanPeople Etsy site for more info and to order.

LG NeoChef adds precision power control to the kitchen microwave


I remember huddling with my family around the new Amana microwave oven we bought in the early 80’s and defrosting our first pound of meat. When we removed the specimen at the allotted time it was somewhat defrosted in some regions but thoroughly cooked in the corners and still solid in the center. More than 30 years later, people can expect the same sort of result when defrosting in most microwave ovens because the low power defrost setting is actually achieved by alternating blasts of full power and no power.

LG recently introduced the LG NeoChef line of microwaves which includes a new wave inverter technology, delivering variable power to customize the microwave intensity for different cooking modes. The power will vary between 300 and 1,200 watts to provide even defrosting and cooking. A built in humidity sensor can also be used to automatically adjust cooking cycles to the particular qualities of the food being cooked.

The NeoChef also includes a easy to clean exterior, heavy duty carousel base and LED lighting. Prices range between $129 to $219 based on oven capacity and peak wattage. Sure, this kitchen gadget doesn’t fit in a drawer, but it might be one you use everyday. Visit LG for more info.

All you need to pop the top on a cold one, is this iPhone case


Summer is so close that I can almost taste it. What does summer taste like? Grilled hamburgers and a cold beer. That’s why a bottle cap opener is the most important tool of summer, so here’s an iPhone case that makes sure you’ll always have one on hand. Wait, what?

Toddy Gear has just launched its bottle opener case for the iPhone 6, 6s, and 7 (sorry plus-sized iPhone peeps). This low profile, durable, fade and scratch-resistant case features a stainless steel opener for bottles and can tabs built right into the back of the case.

The case is made of sealed, moisture-proof hard-shell plastic so you won’t have to worry about getting beer foam all over your phone.

You can choose one of Toddy Gear’s existing designs or if you’re the artistic type, you can design your own ultimate custom case.

The Toddy Gear iPhone Bottle Opener case is priced at $27.99 if you want to use your own design, or $25.99 if you choose one of Toddy Gear’s designs. Visit toddygear.com for more info and check them out on Amazon too.

Leave your surfboard at home and body surf with the Surf-Grip


If you’ve always wanted to learn to surf but didn’t want to spend money on a surfboard, body surfing is an alternative that doesn’t require you to balance on top of a board, buy a full-sized board, or store it when it’s not being used. There are body surfing boards, which are smaller than their full-sized counterparts, but you can forget about boards altogether and check out Surf-Grips.

Designed to increase buoyancy, Surf-Grips are made in the USA of lightweight foam and are suitable for all ages.

This video shows what it’s like to ride the waves with the Surf-Grip.

Are you ready to hang 5? One Surf-Grip is priced at $15.99 and a package of two is $25.99. Visit surf-grip.com for more info.
