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 lights up. Well, really, the best part would be if it was actually functional. Since that’s not possible, I’ll take the lights.

Though a foam weapon can hardly be classified as a “Doomhammer”, it has the benefit of being light to carry. Plus, it’s LARP-grade for the discerning WoW fan.
The Warcraft Doomhammer is made of PVC and polyurethane wrapped in genuine leather.

It’s a bad day when alien replicas end up in the water. Margaret Wells lost the life-size replica of E.T. her daughter sculpted in a robbery in September and it turned up in the water at Old Portsmouth. It was reported as a body in the water, and the police and Coast Guard raced to the scene. They pulled the model replica from the water, but mouth-to-mouth wasn’t necessary. Ms. Wells said:
“I always knew E.T. would come home. There’s only one in the whole of England and he is mine. He has lost a finger and looks a bit roughed up, but he still has a smile on his face.”

Who doesn’t want to own a Batmobile? Even people without an affinity for Batman are drawn to the car with it’s James Bond-like gadgets and tricks. DC Comics gave the green light for licensed replicas a while ago, and Firebox now has them for sale. Sure, you need a Bruce Wayne sized wallet to afford it, but for good reason!
Unlike other TV/movie replicas the Batmobile is more than a prop, it’s a fully operational, road-worthy car with all the bells and whistles, including gauges, push-button ignition and working lights. This crime-fighting classic even comes with 21st century features such as a dash-mounted DVD player, electric actuators that open the hood and trunk, and a six speaker sound system. Dancing the Batusi as you pull up outside comic book conventions has never been easier!
Check out a gallery of features like the Bat Phone after the break.
