Some of us love Star Wars and Marvel and Disney aplenty, and if you’re buying for someone who does, these ideas could make the holiday season.
Some of us live in a very movie and TV-focused world, where the worlds of Star Wars and Disney and other creations come together. And that is a world where technology can assist to a degree.
If you’re buying for someone living in a world gone Disney — which owns Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars — you might want to consider some of these geeky gadgets and gift ideas.
Lego Disney, Marvel, or Star Wars
Price: from $30
There’s clearly a lot of this, and if you’re buying geeky gifts for the Disney, Marvel, Pixar, or Star Wars fan-person, themed Lego is the obvious choice.
But again, there is so much Lego based around Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, or Pixar properties, and available at so many different price points, that it makes sense to suggest Lego first and foremost, even if it doesn’t have any technology associated with it, or much at all.
Deadpool Head Pen Holder
Price: $63
Not really a gadget, but definitely the sort of geekery anyone Marvel fan would want on their desk, the Deadpool pen holder is basically a hole carved out of Deadpool’s head waiting for you to throw pens and pencils inside.
His eye is twitching because clearly shoving sharp objects into a head would make anyone’s eye twitch, though variations of different models exist around the world with different types of spots for pens and pencils.
Depending on how many pens you want to throw in that head, the Deadpool pen holder ranges from $63 AUD to $80 USD, with different heads found around the web.
Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 Marvel, Disney, and Star Wars bands
Price: $99
If that Disney or Star Wars or Marvel fan you’re buying for is a child, you may want to consider a device specifically tailored for them with some of that thematic awesomeness.
The Garmin Vivofit Jr range has long been a simple way for kids to track their steps and activity, and it continues with more connected themes. Not quite an Apple Watch, these little accessories will
Toniebox 2 with Disney Tonies
Price: $210 + $30 per Disney Tonie figurine
It’s not just a fitness accessory that can let kids have some fun with Disney. Consider the follow-up to the first Toniebox, the Toniebox 2.
The latest Toniebox for 2025 adds some interactivity to the mix, and there are a bunch more Disney figurines you can use with the system, too. Think of it as a screen-less approach to kids entertainment, giving them a speaker that talks to them.
Robosen Disney Mini Toys
Price: from $199
What happens when you give collectible toys the ability to talk? The result isn’t what happens when someone screams “Andy’s coming”. Rather, it’s a little robot that sits on the a special station, and lets you play with a piece of Disney movie history.
Robosen’s Disney Minis are essentially compact robots with sounds and moving parts, and a hint of programmability. They’re sort of like advanced toys for people who always wanted a Wall-E or a Woody, but knows they’d never otherwise get the chance.
Star Wars Legacy Lightsaber
Price: from $345
There’s no such thing as a real lightsaber — we’re not there yet, folks, and you wouldn’t want to give them to your kids, anyway — but you can get a pretty awesome prop lightsabre from the films.
Toys exist, of course, but the Legacy Lightsaber available from Disney shops is possibly the sleekest example of a Star Wars toy you can find. While you probably won’t engage in actual sabre battles with someone — it would probably smash — it’s about the most on-brand toy you can find without venturing to Disneyland and building your own sabre at Galaxy’s Edge.
Robosen Buzz Lightyear 30th Anniversary Edition
Price: $1199
We don’t know many people will happily spend a good thousand dollars on an action figure, but the 30th anniversary edition of the Toy Story Buzz Lightyear could be the ideal action figure for someone who wants a crazy advanced toy to play with.
The Robosen Buzz is the more extreme version of the Disney Mini Toys, with more articulated parts, more sounds, and the fact that it’s as close as you’re ever going to get to owning a real Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger.
