Cuddle-Up with the Un-Dead -•Zombie plush

12:51 PM Unknown

What happens when you take old broken plush toys and bury them in the woods by the light of the full moon while whistling the theme song from "Halloween"? Unfortunately nothing...which is why the skillful design monkeys here at ThinkGeek were forced to come-up with our own scary (but cute) zombie plush.

The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie begs to be torn limb from limb. After all he is a decaying re-animated corpse turned into irresistible cuddly plush. Rip off an arm... he doesn't mind. Tear him in half.. he'll barely notice. Pull off his legs... ok now he's getting a bit annoyed. Steal his brain... now you've really done it. Keep your teddy bears under close guard tonight because undead plush have come back from hell to walk the earth.

Product Features

Plush Zombie can be ripped apart in various ways
All limbs and head are removable and interchangeable
Torso can be pulled apart to reveal intestines
Zombie holds a tiny plush brain snack in his right hand
12" in Length
Exclusive product designed and manufactured by ThinkGeek
Choking Hazard - Small Parts. Not suitable for Children under 3 years. This is an Adult toy.

Snuggle your phone by day, this plush by night

12:39 PM Unknown

You know what this copywriter monkey doesn't grok? The whole iPhone thing. Sure, they're cool, there are thousands of apps. They have a shiny apple on the back. You pay a lot of money for them (and then for their larger cousin). But are they really THAT special? ThinkGeek is divided down the lines of the iPhone and the Droid folks. Oh, then there's Brett and Julie who insist on keeping their Blackberries. Weirdos.

Since there's been so much love on ThinkGeek for iPhones, what with all the cases and accessories, we figured it was time to throw some love toward our other favorite smartphone. If you're semi-permanently attached to your Droid by day, you know how hard it is to plug it in and leave it all alone on your nightstand at night. Why not snuggle this adorable green Android Plush Robot every night? He'll bring you sweet dreams... maybe even of electric sheep.

Posable articulated head and arms
For folks who are attached to their smartphone
Also, for folks who don't grok why everyone else <3s iPhones

Click and Pivot for Fast iPhone and iPod Charging

12:27 PM Unknown

How many 30-pin cables do you have and how many of them are not where you are when you need to recharge your ipone or ipod.

Yes, that's a rhetorical question. We know the answer. You probably have at least half a dozen cables and none of them are around when you need them. Or, you have one but you really don't like the way they clutter up the kitchen counter. Or, the cable you do have is frayed and worn and you know you need to buy a new one but you keep forgetting. In the end, there's always something getting between your iWhatever and the electricity it so desperately needs. That's why we'd like to introduce you to this clever little wall charger.
Sure it's compact and beautiful but there also a neat feature: it pivots. By pivoting, the charger lets you slide your device into place without wrangling. Also, since you're charging straight from the wall socket you're getting more power delivered to the device and that means a faster recharge than if you connect it to a USB port on your computer. Oh, and since it's mounted to the outlet it also means your iPhone/iPod won't be on the counter the next time you spill a bowl of Cocoa Puffs. Not that you've done that, have you? Of course, the important thing is there's no cable needed which means that you don't need to worry about any more rhetorical questions, now do you?

Charges your iPhone or iPod from any wall outlet
Dock connector pivots for easy connection
Fast charging due to increased power delivery (as compared to USB-port charging)
Compatible with iPhone (Original, 3G, 3GS), iPod Touch (Original-2nd Generation), iPod Classic, iPod Nano (1st-5th generation)

For those extra-long days

12:22 PM Unknown

A geek's day is never done. There are long hours at work, including answering emails via our smartphones while we're supposedly on our lunch hour. There are those websites we can't/shouldn't access at work that we visit on our phones instead. Once work is over, there's texting our significant other while stuck in rush hour traffic. After dinner, it's time for gaming or heading out to test out gadgets at the store before we buy them for a better price online. And sometimes, we forget that our iPhones don't have unlimited battery life.
This ultra-thin battery charger for your favorite iDevice is only a centimeter thick and 62g! Tiny and intensely powerful like a double rainbow. Slip it in your pocket or your laptop bag for an emergency charge you can count on. Works great for all models of iPhone and most newer models of the iPod for you music junkies out there. Recharge your Ultra Slim Emergency Battery Charger by USB to your PC or plug into the wall so it's ready to go for your next battery emergency.

Charge your iPhone wirelessly

12:20 PM Unknown

In the future all electronic devices will be wirelessly powered. Forget pesky power strips and wall outlets... high frequency microwave beams will permeate our homes providing power wherever it's needed. Of course by then we'll have cured cancer and hacked our own DNA and won't have to worry about any ill effects of EMF radiation. But until then we can use nifty induction technology to charge our electric toothbrushes, and now our iPhones! Look Ma, no wires! Tesla would be proud.
The AirVolt is a ThinkGeek Exclusive: you won't find it anywhere else! Simply slide your phone into the included receiver case, place it on the power tray, and watch in amazement as your phone charges wirelessly via induction. It works just as quickly as a standard charger and automatically powers off once your phone is completely charged. And the best part?

Be the Babe (or Dude) with the power

12:18 PM Unknown

USB is the new voodoo. (You knew?) It's the magical power source that fuels our monkey hearts. But how often has this happened to you? You're having a perfectly fine day, all happy and at peace with the world when suddenly your cell phone dies. Okay, it's not exactly sudden since most phones give more than adequate "low battery" warnings. Running your cell phone on red battery is like driving your car around on E. You know it's going to die if you don't refill it, but you figure you have JUST ENOUGH fuel to get you home... right? Right?

Don't chance it. This friendly white square will save you on those long days when you have 5 minutes of battery, but 5 hours to go before you sleep. It's the optimal emergency charger for cell phone, mp3 player, or any USB-powered device. Charge it up with your computer and then toss it in your laptop bag, backpack, or purse, where it will remain charged and ready for you. When it's time for emergency juice, switch the charger on, select the appropriate tip, plug it in to the Portable USB Power Supply and your device, and watch the magic happen!

Shoot 3D video and watch with built-in glasses-free 3D display

12:11 PM Unknown

In case you haven't noticed 3D is everywhere these days. 3D movies, 3D video games, 3D TVs. Here at ThinkGeek we've thought about getting ourselves some newfangled 3D flatscreens, but then we realized that there is so little 3D content out there to watch... why bother? Well now you can create your own unlimited source of 3D video content in a snap with the 3D Digi Camcorder. The two built-in lenses capture 3D as easy as pushing a button and the built-in screen allows you to watch your video in full 3D without glasses.

720P HD Video
The 3D Digi Camcorder is the ONLY pocket camcorder that captures 2D and 3D in High Definition. While others shoot in lower, VHS type resolutions, the 3D Digi Camcorder captures pristine quality, 720p HD video.
Dual Sensors
Dual 5MP High Definition sensors and "side by side" technology capture two different viewing positions. The camcorder merges each half size of the Left and Right image to equal one final image.
3D Still Photos
Thanks to the 3D Digi Camcorder HD's dual 5MP sensors, you can capture stunning 3D digital still images.
3D Live View Display
The 3D Digi Camcorder utilizes "Parallax Barrier" technology on its LCD preview screen so that you can enjoy a Live 3D view while you record. A Parallax Barrier basically takes the Polarized glasses that you would wear in the movie theater and embeds them into the screen so that you can view your videos in 3D without the need for glasses.
HDMI Direct Connect
The 3D Digi Camcorder provides an HDMI-out that allows you to connect directly to your existing HDTV, 3D Monitor or brand new 3D HDTV for video and photo playback.
Built-in USB
With the classic Red/Blue 3D glasses that you probably have laying around somewhere, you can view your 3D creations on any regular computer monitor. The included software converts your video to the "Anaglyph" format that supports the Red/Blue glasses.
YouTube 3D
YouTube now supports 3D video playback all the way up to 720p which is perfect for the 3D Digi Camcorder, the ONLY consumer 3D camcorder that records in HD. The 3D-HD's included software bundle includes a simple to use 3D video editing program that uploads directly to YouTube with the click of a button.
Playback on HDTV & Monitor
The 3D Digi Camcorder includes software that will allow you to convert your videos and photos into 3D "Anaglyph" format, the format that utilizes the Red/Blue glasses to view. Once you convert your photos and videos, you can play them directly on your existing computer, HDTV, or even print them out! Grab a pair of your included Red/Blue glasses to view your 3D creations anytime, anywhere!
Pocket Sized
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or slip right into your pocket, you can take the 3D Digi Camcorder with you everywhere. Never miss a moment!... in 3D!
One Touch Recording
The 3D Digi Camcorder is extremely simple to use! Record 3D videos with one touch of a button; take snapshots with one touch of a button; playback your videos and pictures with one touch of a button.
3D HDTV Playback
The 3D Digi Camcorder's MP4 format is compatible with most new 3D HDTVs and also laptops and PCs equipped with 3D cards. Whether it be Anaglyph, Polarized, or Active-Shutter technology.
nVideo 3D Vision Compatible
Do you already have a top-of-the-line PC but not 3D yet? Then nVidea's 3D Vision is the perfect solution for you! For approximately $200, you can convert your current PC or Laptop into a 3D machine. Pair it with a brand new 3D Digi Camcorder and you can capture, edit and playback all of your 3D creations utilizing state-of-the-art Active-Shutter 3D technology for unparalleled 3D quality.
Universal Size Tripod Port
Add the flexibility of mounting your camcorder to any 1/4" universal sized tripod, windshield mount, or bicycle mount.
