Every time we think we’re done with the fidget spinner fad, somebody comes along and amps these silly playthings up to the next level. The Backyard Scientist decided that he couldn’t spin his fast enough, so he added a propulsion system, and upping the danger factor by 100x.

EDC and viral toys collide with this fidget spinner that doubles as a pocket knife. Don’t worry, the blade stays tucked when folded. So it’s not as cool as a butterfly knife, but it’s not as dangerous (or illegal) either.

Charlie Peterson of StillLifewithCharlie handmakes these awesome tables and wall displays built out with dozens of individual shadowboxes. They’re designed to fit the classic Kenner Star Wars figures, but should hold any 3.75″-ish figure that fits into cubbies.

They may look all cute and cuddly, but get on the wrong side of these stuffed animals, and they’ll bear their teeth, ready to attack their victim. We’re thinking you shouldn’t get them wet or feed them after midnight, just in case.

While you could chew up some tissue and blow it through a straw, we much prefer the idea of this toy blaster, which can fire up to 16 rounds of paper at your enemies without reloading. Unlike Paper Shooters’ Zombie Slayer, this weapon comes fully-assembled and ready to go.
