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.
You may not live the exciting lifestyle of James Bond, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the same gun. Well, if he was going to shoot someone in the ass with a bb for shits and giggles, this is the gun he would do it with. The classic Walther PPK makes its return to Bond films with Quantum of Solace after a stint with the Walther P99 in Casino Royale. The version above is a CO2 PPK/S (a small variation on the standard PPK) while the version pictured after the break is a 8mm (standard PPK) blank pistol. If you prefer the P99, an airsoft and blank version are also pictured after the break.
Even though this statue is titled “martial artist,” Bruce Lee fans will not be fooled. The manufacturers have obviously torn a page straight out of Enter the Dragon—alhough I’m pretty sure Bruce was nowhere near 6-feet tall.

This plush Tribble prop replica features sound and motion from the classic “The Trouble With Tribbles” Star Trek episode. You can trigger the Tribble’s soothing purring sound or switch to “agitated mode” to protect you from Klingons. Just don’t be surprised when you come home one day to find dozens of them tearing up your refrigerator.

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.
After the fun everyone had with the Halo Covenant Energy Sword replica the other day, I decided to find out if there were any other amusing sword replicas on the market. Not surprisingly, there are many—including a special item from one of my favorite shows as a kid: ThunderCats. Lion-O’s Sword of Omens features a 37-inch steel blade with an Eye of Thundera that lights up at the push of a button. A close-up image is available after the break.
I have seen toy versions of the Covenant Energy Sword from Halo 3 in the past, but sissy plastic toys are for little girls and people who can make a clear distinction between right and wrong. A replica with two spectrum treated 19-inch stainless steel blades are for real men. The kind of men that don’t think before they act and send in homemade videos to the guys from Jackass.
If you are wondering, the spectrum treatment gives the metal color-changing properties that mimic the effect seen on the blade in the game. Also comes with wall plaque. Additional image after the break.
The Summer Games are officially underway and collectors are busy grabbing every pin and plush doll they can get their hands on. However, the crown jewel of collectibles from Beijing has to be these official Olympic torch replicas. The IOC has granted a limited edition 200,000 run of the torches which have also been certified by the Beijing Notary Office. The torch itself is constructed out of leftover steel from the “Birds Nest” while the base is carved from crystal and features a laser-printed line map that illustrates the route of the controversial torch relay. An additional image is available after the break.
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.
