This could be the best gift idea ever – whether it’s for yourself or your love one!  You’ve always dreamed of someone making an action figure of you… but realistically that just isn’t going to happen.  However now you can do it yourself, for a very reasonable price.  3D technology company Artec Group has revealed a new service called Shapify.me that allows Xbox 360 and Windows users (who also own the Xbox Kinect) to scan themselves, upload the scan to the company’s website – and they will send you a small figurine of 1/20 scale.  The figure will come to you in a white or multicolored plastic and you can use your artistic skills to paint it.  When done, you’ll be able to recreate all the epic battles of your wildest dreams – like you fighting a giant robot.  $59. www.shapify.me

This isn’t the first slingshot we’ve featured on the site. The Hyper Dog Ball Launcher fired tennis balls (or rocks) and the Airzooka shot gusts of air at unsuspecting house pets. Since winter is coming and I’m a huge man-child, I present to you the Wham-O Snowball Blaster: a slingshot that shoots snowballs (and of course rocks). A nice perk is that there is a snowball maker/holder built into the top; a simple press which packs and shapes three snowballs, allowing for rapid fire and quick reloads. It can also fire snowballs up to eighty feet, giving you every advantage on those punk kids down the street. $29. amazon.com

When Ford redesigned the Mustang back in 1994, many of us turned our heads in disgust and stopped paying attention to this once iconic ride.  Slight redesigns made it look a little better by 2000 but it was still far from a good looking car.  The 2005 redesign, attempting to bring back some of the classic design queues, was a total bust in our opinion.  But this brand new 2015 design might bring the Mustang back to a ‘cool car’ status.  The new model will offer three engine options – a 5.0-liter V8, a 3.7-liter V6 and an all-new fuel-efficient 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine.  Who would buy the EcoBoost engine beats us, but there’s always some schmuks out there.  The 2015 Mustang is said to set new performance and dynamics benchmarks and offer world-class handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort.  Guess we’ll have to drive one to see if this is all true.  The 2015 model certainly looks pretty attractive – we especially enjoy some of the more aggressive lines. $TBA.  www.ford.com

We know you love anchorman Ron Burgundy and sometimes, just sometimes, you’d like to be a man just like him.  And now thanks to the Ron Burgundy Blended Scotch Whisky you can get a feel what it means to be a legend – on a Friday or Saturday night.  This 80-proof scotch is just what the man himself is fond of.  It’s kind of a big deal, but it’ll only cost you $25.  All you have to do is grow your own mustache.  www.rivieraimports.com

Okay – you won’t really feel like zero gravity when you sit in this chair, but in all fairness astronauts don’t experience zero gravity either (they’re actually in freefall, but traveling fast enough that they never hit the Earth). Point is, this is a very comfortable chair and it’s a stylish take on a recliner. The Gravity Balans adjusts to four positions depending on how you distribute your weight: lean forward to kneel and leaning back to varying degrees will recline from sitting to lying down. When lying all the way back, you will gently rock to the rhythm of your heartbeat. The upholstery is a wool/polyamide blend which you can upgrade to wool/nylon for an additional $400 or leather for $1,400. This is definitely a luxury item, but it’s still cheaper than going to space. $2,195. ergotdepot.com

Volvo may not be the flashiest car company out there, but the company does get to pride itself in the high level of safety found in its automobiles. From the creators of the three-point seatbelt and this awesome commercial, Volvo is trying to end automobile fatalities with autonomous cars. Volvo’s Swedish “Drive Me” project will see 100 self-driving cars hit the streets of Gothenburg; testing the vehicle’s ability to drive in all possible traffic scenarios. Research and technology development will begin next year with hopes of getting these robo-chauffeurs on the road by 2017. Getting people to trust a machine not to crash while they blatantly ignore the road, like the woman pictured above, may take a little longer. News via: volvocars.com

Listening to a high-end music system goes hand in hand with enjoying a glass of fine scotch. That’s exactly why UK turntable maker Linn has partnered up with Highland Park to celebrate the company’s 40th birthday.  If you can believe it, Linn took its highest performance turntable and encased in a beautiful whisky wood plinth, made from the solid oak casks in which Highland Park was matured. Only 40 of these will be made.  As part of the package you get a 40-year-old bottle of Highland Park.  Such spoils are the dream of all Guydsters but of course they don’t come cheap.  $40,000.  www.linn.co.uk

At Guydster, we are big fans of Nixon watches for their cool styling and accessible price points.  The Industrial Craft Collection welds purpose and craftsmanship to produce a sleek, yet manly look for each of the six timepieces in this series.  Each watch offers a smooth matte black finish and industrial rose gold accents.  We are particularly fond of The Corporal SS styling and attractive price of just $200.  If you prefer a bulkier look and the convenience of a chronograph, then The 51-30 Chrono model might be just the piece you’re looking for.  A guy can never have too many watches!  $150-$500.  www.nixon.com

I’m calling it now. Amazon.com buys Pizza Hut in three to five years and we shove stuffed crust down our gullets faster than ever before. Porn featuring a pizza delivery drone showing up with extra sausage will surely follow. Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos, recently revealed the company’s Amazon PrimeAir octocopter drones in a 60 Minutes interview. The octocopters are expected to carry items up to five pounds (which is 86% of the items Amazon sells) within a ten mile radius of a distribution centre. The drones likely won’t be around for a few years due to a lack of proper safety rules but hopefully the idea won’t get held back. This quick and easy shopping may finally divert consumers from the dangers of a Wal-Mart Black Friday Massacre; but if a big screen TV is what you desire, you may need to be prepared to get stabbed.  Check out a video of the process on www.youtube.com.

There’s a really cool Wired Talk where Imogen Heap demonstrates the ability to control music through movement, with the help of motion control gloves and a lot of tech. Auug has created a similar, more cost friendly app and peripheral that use the sensors in your phone to replicate this awesome technology. With the Motion Synth you can not only play any notes from a musical scale, but also raise/lower the scale with the use of hand gestures. The Auug Grip holds your phone and allows you to hit the eight buttons with ease. You can program sounds in like any synthesizer and add voice effects for those like myself that love to sing, but sound like garbage. Augg is currently only compatible with your iPhone or iPod touch due to the shape of the grip (sorry Android users). Pledge $68 at www.augg.com

Circuit Scribe may look like an ordinary pen, but the conductive silver ink inside can turn your doodle into a working electrical circuit. This intriguing Kickstarter campaign, from Electroninks Incorporoated, is like a soldering kit without the danger of burning yourself and then whipping it at a brick wall out of anger. Most of the demos show off the ability to draw simple circuits and maybe light up an LED, but I’m sure all you household hackers out there will be able to come up with more complex projects. Circuit Scribe is compatible with other open-source electronic hardware like Makey Makey and it is a wonderful teaching aid for kids. Get your own by pledging as little as $20. Kickstarter.com

At Guydster we love cool stuff and the Chinon Legato speaker is just about the coolest iPhone accessory we’ve come across.  Constructed out of ash hardwood, the Legato looks like a mini gramophone and uses a passive horn speaker, sculpted for acoustic perfection, to organically amplify the sound played by the iPhone’s speaker.  It boosts the sound up to 6 decibels which makes it ideal for personal listening or background music.  Musically, the Legato is designed to improve and increase the mid, mid-low and mid high frequency region, namely from 150 Hertz to 8500 hertz – this is the region where the important primary notes of musical instruments and human vocals occur. It is compatible with the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s and 5c models.  $249.  www.chinonshop.com

Keys aren’t the most comfortable thing in your pants pocket so it’s about time someone stepped up to the plate and modernized the conventional keychain.  The Keyport Slide 2.0 holds up to 6 keys or inserts, all within a device that’s about the size of a pack of gum.  It’s compatible with most house keys, high-security keys, transponder-chipped auto and motorcycle keys, small mail and padlock keys, and bike lock keys.  The Slide 2.0 can also be customized with useful tools like a flash drive, mini-light and bottle opener.  To order yours, simply take pictures of your existing keys and upload them, along with descriptions, to the company’s website – they will create matching key inserts for you and ship the Slide 2.0 to your door.  Available in various colors, including the new “Ice” finish.  $29 and up.  www.mykeyport.com

Like most guys, you probably put your wallet in your back pocket and just sit uncomfortably all day with one buttock up higher than the other. It doesn’t help having said wallet stuffed full of credit, debit and whatever club cards you have. Coin seeks to alleviate this issue, no not with a second wallet to even your ass out, but by combining all of your cards into one. Coin can hold the info of as many cards as you could possibly have and allows you to switch between them with the press of a button. The Coin app allows you to swipe all of your cards into your phone (anything with a magnetic strip). It will also alert you if you accidentally leave it behind. Coin won’t be out until next summer, so hopefully they also add the tap functionality. Pre-order yours for $55. onlycoin.com

Often times a guy requires nothing more than his keys, wallet and cell phone to go out on the town.  But there are times when you need to bring some gear along – like a laptop or plans for a Kickstarter project we’ve been dreaming about – and that’s when you’re going to need some kind of a backpack.  The Urban Xplorer HalfPack RT (Road Trip) backpack might be just the bag that suits your needs whether you’re transporting stuff between your home and office or going on a road trip.  This customizable bag easily transitions from a formal look to something more casual with its detachable backpack straps and adjustable shoulder straps.  It’s got multiple pockets and compartments for just about any goods - laptops, tablets, phones, accessories, paperwork, clothing, shoes and more.  The best thing about it though might be the REVO (Rapid Expansion Volume Options) system which allows the bag to physically expand or contract according to your needs.  Constructed out of weatherproof and stain resistant NylonUX Ballistic Fabric, it is available in 3 cool colors: Brooklyn Bronze, Electric Burnt Orange, and Classic Black.  We dig it.  $124 for a limited time via the company’s Kickstarter page; $198 afterwards.  www.xplorerbrand.com

Now here’s an off-roader’s wet dream; the Sportsman WV850 H.O. is a beast of an ATV inspired by military designs. The Sporstman can tow 1,500 lbs and carries a combined 600 lbs on the front and rear racks, but the best part is the wheels. You’ll tear up any terrain with the TerrainArmor non-pneumatic tires which are invulnerable to broken glass, pointy rocks and even bullets. You can’t get a flat because the tires don’t need to be inflated. Now all I need is a set for my Smart Car; not because I plan to do any off-roading, I’m just tired of getting my tires slashed for driving a Smart Car. $15,000. polaris.com
