Meet Jaimie Mantzel. He’s managed to build toys that are infinitely cooler than anything in my closet when I was a kid. For that matter, cooler than anything I have now. He’s built robots that walk, come with armor, and are also projectile launchers. His enthusiasm is infectious; you’ll adore him and his creations. After you’ve watched the toy in action, you can even help name it.

Manufacturer NECA is making a 1:1 scale replica of the gun from Portal that you can actually buy for around $169 with a pre-order sale. It looks like it’s high quality, and the best part?

It looks like we’ve got Sam and Frodo battling Shelob, the fight between the Nazgul and the Fellowship on Weathertop, Helm’s Deep, and something with a cave troll. It’s probably a scene from the mines of Moria. Ahhh! I’m making room on my shelves now.
