Dental training mannequins
These impossibly creepy artifacts are just the tip of the iceberg of awesometasticness that is Steve Erenberg's Radio Guy. Be warned, Steve's site is chockablock with incredible medical, scientific, and industrial antiques he's collected, mostly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is a major click-trap.

Fairytale Fashion with Diana Eng
CRAFT and MAKE friend Diana Eng a new wearable tech project going on; it looks awesome! The project description:
From October to December 2009, I will be making magical clothes for Fairytale Fashion. These might be clothes that have blooming flowers, living clothes that breathe, change color, transform. And guess what, YOU will be leading the design! Each Monday, FairytaleFashion.org will have a new video that introduces a technology like inflatables, deployable structures, muscle wire and microcontrollers. At the end of each video is a design question. Answer the weekly design questions on our website. I will use your answers to create the Fairytale Fashion. Finally, the finished garments will be presented in a fashion show in early 2010. Fairytale Fashion is produced with the support of Eyebeam.

How-To: "Operation" costume
You know, you kind of have to see it blown up to life-size before you realize just how creepy the "Operation" game really is. Outstanding costume build by Instructables user NavySWO91. It works just like the game!

How-To: Guyver Guy armor
David Carpenter is an effects professional, so this tutorial he's posted looks especially interesting. Apparently the last three steps (fitting, electronics, and painting) are still incomplete, but the first five are worth the click.

OMG Zelda prop sword
It's made from reinforced resin and finished with automotive paints by Aaron of Fiberglassblades. That's him in the Ryo Sanada getup below. Holy crap.

The Black Knight always triumphs!
Can it be a unicorn chaser if there's a bloody arm stump involved? I say yes, when it's this cute, and has Monty Python references. Sorry if you were grossed out by all the guts. Spotted by Becky.

Pepakura-cast Halo helmet
YouTuber utubewarrenj is part of a community of cosplayers that are using a pretty amazing low-tech process to go from digital models to relatively accurate, durable real-world objects. Basically, they print out, fold up, and tape together elaborate paper models (for an idea of how much work this is, rock along with this video by SeamusRocks99), then fiberglass over and/or cast liquid polymer resin into them to produce durable full-size artifacts, which is what he's showing here.

Eat my arm. Gain my power.
I'm expecting a lot of prawn-armed Wikuses (Wiki?) this year, but the award goes to YouTuber GrafixFan for producing the first bloggable District-9-related Halloween costume images I've seen. We must harvest his tissues immediately.

Breath-monitoring dress
I'm curious what kind of sensor they're using to make this breath-monitoring dress with dimming/brightening LEDs under the top layer of fabric.

Heads-up iPhone AR navigation system
Tokyo-based Ubiquitous Entertainment has built the iPhone ARider, a portable head-mounted navigation prototype. It attaches to a standard bike helmet and is capable of delivering visuals via a Scalar Corporation T3-A retractable HMD. With the glut of AR apps hitting the market you'll likely see a lot more HMD projects showing up in the near future. If you know of or are working on an AR physical computing project and would like to share, please leave a comment.

Re-make: Tie with hidden iPod stash
Look, just because I have a pink Nano doesn't mean I'm some kind of a...pink necktie wearer! Oh wait, NM: It's British. And the company's name is Pink--Thomas Pink, of London. And to be fair they are sold in eight colors. Pink gets €55 for one such "commuter tie" online, which is like more money than there is in all of America right now, but if you are crafty or have a crafty friend it should be a fairly simple sew job.

Lego baseplate shirt
Ty over at ThinkGeek hipped us to their latest custom product, which is a T-shirt with a Lego-compatible baseplate attached to the front so you can build stuff on it--murals, spaceships, chunky boobs, whatever floats your boat.
