You want a lightsaber replica that looks truly awesome? Well, if you really know your way around a workshop you can use a meticulous set of instructions laid out by Bradley W. Lewis to create Obi-Wan’s lightsaber from A New Hope.

From the upcoming Green Hornet film comes this authentic gas gun replica made with the molds from the original prop. It doesn’t actually work of course, unless you can somehow fill it with your farts. Check out the gun in action at around the 1:50 mark in the trailer after the break.
In case you haven’t heard, the latest installment of the Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D is dropping in theaters on September 10th. Unfortunately these T-Virus and Anti-Virus prop vials probably won’t be shipped until the DVD release—but they are officially licensed and feature internal LEDs so they can be independently illuminated. The vials also come in an Umbrella Corporation-themed display.
Or you could save yourself $200 and through some glow sticks in a couple of containers.
This Dustbuster phaser replica from Star Trek TNG isn’t just some toy that rolled off the assembly line. It was hand-built and replicated by the same propmasters that created the original props. Of course, that also means it won’t have assembly line prices. Expect to pay $500 for the phaser when it arrives later this month.
The Dustbuster also features LED lighting and sounds but, sadly, it won’t clean up crumbs off your desk. Seriously though, they should have added that functionality.

Yeah, they look disgusting enough, but I bet Bear Grylls would’ve loved to have had a cracker on hand to help dilute the flavor of bear crap and deer eyes.

To be honest, I stepped off the SAW bus after the first movie, so I’m not sure what happened over the course of the next 800 sequels. Still, I know a cool-ass knife when I see one, and Jigsaw’s gauntlet definitely falls in that category. Just cock the blade and pull the trigger to send it shooting out from underneath your sleeve. Additional images are available after the break.
If you are a big fan of the Back to the Future series (part II in particular), you will love the Pit Bull Hoverboard and Slamball Bat replicas. Just don’t let your nerdy imagination get the best of you—the board does not actually hover. An additional image of the board and the Slamball bat replica are available after the break.
Yesterday I brought you a 9- foot tall, 17-foot long Brachiosaurus sculpture that cost a hefty $4000. Today I found a robot dinosaur that eats that tree-hugging Brachiosaurus for breakfast. This monster T-Rex skeleton stands 13 feet tall, 25 feet long and rests on a 4-foot museum stand (optional). It also features 6 lifelike movements and an Earth-shattering roar. But you really have to see it to believe it. Hit the video after the jump to see what kind of prop $22,000 buys you.
It’s not slated for release until March 6th 2009, but merchandising for The Watchmen movie is already underway. Among the products that have already been announced, the prop replica guns for the Comedian and Rorschach are probably the most interesting. Hit the jump for detailed images and more info on each replica set.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of lamps based on props from the Indiana Jones movies—but the fertility idol version is a bit unnerving. If by some miracle you actually manage to score with a woman in a room where a lamp like this is displayed, don’t be surprised if she comes knocking on your door 9 months later. Think about it.
