I’m guessing it’s from the same company that makes action figures of Freud and Shakespeare. Yep
You can either order from their website or check comic book stores near you.

We have the entire set of Hallmark’s Star Trek ornament series. (yes, the WHOLE set) It’s pretty much the thing that kicks off the holiday season for us.
“Spock! Do you - - -see what I see?”
“A star.”
“A. Star!”
I have their Deluxe Librarian action figure, who will be going in my Sunnydale Library Playset with my Buffy action figures as soon as it’s released. (I preordered it back in October.)
It would be my full size Han Solo in carbonite.
I was going to write that about my husband.
He comes complete with chemical engineering degree and lots of D&D books. I have a full bookshelf of Star Trek novels so there’s a residual nerd attraction right there.
Do you know where nerds(ok…me) can buy the T-shirts worn by Jayne on the show?
I’d love to get some of them.
I have a complete collection of Urusei Yatsura videos. The entire series, all the movies, and the OVAs,in bulky-and-deteriorating-from-use VHS format, which I would like to replace with digital copies. Over the past ten years, I have tried to turn so many people onto Urusei Yatsura (which is one of the most brilliant things ever) and so far exactly one person has embraced it and gone through the entire collection.
I also have a largish collection of dictionaries, mainly 19th and early 20th century, but including some that are simply peculiar, like my prized Cultural Revolution state-published English-Chinese dictionary, which somehow manages to fit outrageous propaganda into practically every context sentence, no matter how politically neutral the word is. Joy!
I have a holography table, which I can’t set up here because I don’t have a stable enough place for it.
I think the UY is probably the nerdiest.
Cafe Press.
Thanks for that info, I’m going to upgrade my nerdosity with a couple of obscure Firefly t-shirts.
Last time I checked, there were also available at a number of shops on Zazzle.com.
A friend of mine has one of those, with a strip of the film when the Fellowship is passing the Argonath. She calls it “The Heirloom of My People.”
This is the person who gave me a set of lifesize cardboard hobbits for my birthday a few years ago (I posted about it at the time); they stand on top of a shelf a few feet from my desk. But they are not the nerdiest thing I own.
The nerdiest thing would be my Babylon 5/Deep Space 9 chess set. I made it myself by collecting 6-inch action figures and little model ships:
Sisko & Sheridan = Kings
Kira & Delenn = Queens
Dukat, Garak, G’kar & Londo = Bishops
Worf, Dax, Ivanova, & Marcus = Knights
Bashir, O’Brien, Garibaldi, & Franklin = Rooks
Odo and Dana Scully referee. At Christmastime, they also stand in for the figures in the nativity.
In addition, I also have Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and about 25 hobbits in action-figure form, besides the cardboard ones.
They don’t lack history, just years. You’ve got to be in your early thirties, at a minimum, to have really played those text adventure games.
That said: Oh. My. God. :eek: I want one!! Where can I find it?
As for replying to the OP: Lessee, I have “first edition” AD&D books (Player’s Handbook, DM Guide, Monster Manual, Deities and Demigods) on my shelf with a collection of various colored ‘hedron dice (d4 thru d20, unused in 20 years, but still there nonetheless); a “Darth Tater” Mr. Potato Head toy; numerous letter openers in the form of medieval or fantasy swords; original boxes and cards for the Steve Jackson “Illuminati!” game (not the CCG); and somewhere in my parents’ house I I hope I still have some remnants of my set of dot-matrix printouts of transcripts documenting my beginning-to-end solutions to various Infocom games.

Oh, I have afew toys (warning: sound).
I wish. As for me its either a college marching band shako or my ancient Greek edition of the first Harry Potter book.
Heh. Heh. Heh. Where shall I begin?
And last but not least …
My spongebob Pez dispenser collection and other Spongebob sweet holders about 12 in total.
My Tazo collection collected from Simba chip packets consisting of the first second and third sets, metal varieties in metal, green, silver and gold as well as the 3D varieties probaby about 200 hundred different Tazos. I even contemplated framing them.
You’re the one behind that YTMND? I’ve seen it before (and shown it to many friends)
You, sir, have a very nerdy collection of toys. Kudos.
It is like the one found as one of the few surviving knick-knacks
after the earth is taken over in Half-Life2. I had a friend pick one
up in Hawaii.
Cheers
Oh, I also own a very “normal”-looking T-shirt for Wolfram & Hart, Attorneys at Law. Since I actually went to law school, people always ask me if I worked there, and I tell them I just did an internship and learned everything I know from them.
