Well, possibly. Regardless, there’s little doubt in the minds of most Doctor Who fans (particularly younger ones) that David Tennant has been one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the cult sci-fi show.

Now, he’s been turned into a chibi soft toy.

I can’t see him standing up to Cybermen or Daleks in this form, but as he’s already regenerated into Doctor number 11 that probably doesn’t matter.

As he was created on DeviantArt a couple of years ago, perhaps it’s time that they got to work on a Matt Smith version.

Even better, how about a Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee or William Hartnell? Those were the glory days.

I don’t know what TV ads are doing Stateside (or elsewhere) at present, but in the UK there’s a resurgence of ads from the 1970s and ’80s. I think it’s probably because the kids who grew up with these adverts are now in nostalgic mode and have kids of their own.

Narrated by the late, great British comedian Tommy Cooper, it shows off the versatility of LEGO (assuming you have a lot of it) in a humorous way, with various LEGO creatures and objects pitting themselves against each other.

This is from the days when you really built your own stuff from LEGO, and the kits even had suggestions for making up your own models, rather than blindly following a formula.

The days before LEGOland when you went to conference centres hosting what felt like almost impromptu exhibitions, with people showing off humungous models, some animated, and you could play amongst huge piles of the multicoloured plastic bricks.

Great stuff.

These smooth two-inch squared natural basswood blocks have rounded edges and colorful painted characters. $8.88 for the pair.

Why not put it next to your other wooden gadgets — the wooden iPod mini, wooden USB stick, wooden turntables and wooden MacBook case. All natural.

I love meerkats (I’ve even adopted one at London Zoo for the year), so this pair dressed up in Star Trek outfits just had to be shared.

Kirk is of course wearing gold, the original command colour. Spock is in Science blue. They wear Federation emblems proudly on their chests and have their ranking stripes on their sleeves. Spock (unusually for a meerkat) has those classic slanting eyebrows.

As with my non-trekkie meerkats, hind legs and tails are wired with pipe cleaners to allow them to self stand.

They’re unbelievably inexpensive, too, with the first one being £2 (about $3) and then others ordered at the same time just £1 (about 70 cents). I’d charge more, but there you go. They can even be knitted to request, including other key characters.

The Enterprise isn’t included, though.

It’s a little “steeply” priced for a mug at US$25 so might as well put this in as a project expense that helps out the team? Not sure about that, but worth a try! Check this product out here or right here. I hope they develop colored versions like RED for HOT and WHITE for COLD. I think black and white may be too bland. But anyway.

Here’s another mug of the same design and concept… but this time it toggles ON and OFF.
