Nisha Leggings for Easy Borderlands’ Cosplay
I truly enjoy the Borderlands franchise. The cartoonish graphics are cool and the games are lots of fun to play. If you are a fan of Nisha the Sheriff in Borderlands 2, here is your chance for some sexy and easy cosplay.
These leggings look like the game’s cel-shaded animation in pink and purple hues. They are slim fit with compression tech and will make the booty look good ladies… real good. They have a 3″ elastic waistband and come in sizes up to 2x.
Get your leggigns at ThinkGeek for $59.99(USD) right now. Purple duster not included.

Borderlands 3D Pendants: Loot on Your Chest
Etsy shop MiraCrafts not only makes chocobos, it also has bounty from Pandora. Shop owner Marika can hand sculpt – or at least she’ll try to – any character, weapon or item from the Borderlands series into a 3D pendant.
Marika sculpts and paints each item by hand, so it takes her about 8 to 20 hours per pendant, hence they’re expensive even though they’re small, around ~$40 (USD) to $110 each. Head to MiraCrafts’ Etsy page to order.

Stained Glass Claptrap Lamp: Borderlight
This stained glass Claptrap lamp is pretty awesome. I don’t think it will be as annoying as the in-game version of Borderlands’ topheavy robot. At least I hope so. He will actually do something useful, like provide you with light.
It was created by artist Darke Solace, and it shows the video game robot in a whole new light. Pun intended. His eyes are made from wine bottles, and his arms from a copper pipe. It will probably be very relaxing, yet strange, to gaze upon this robot lamp in your room and not hear his mouth going a mile a minute.
He really does look amazing though. It took five months for the artist to complete, but it turned out great. Sadly it is not up for sale anywhere. Maybe they will put it on Etsy soon.

Life-size LEGO Claptrap: High Fives Guys! For Real!
MOCer Simon Liu is a big fan of Borderlands, so he built a life-size Claptrap for this year’s Brickworld Chicago. It’s not remote-controlled and it doesn’t have a fridge, but it does have a Pick A Brick cup lid for an eye.
In his interview with Beyond the Brick Simon said it took him a while to figure out how to combine Claptrap’s trapezoidal prism body with its white horizontal stripe. But as you can see he eventually sorted it out. The model’s body is mostly hollow, but it’s still heavy enough that Simon had to pack its wheel full of bricks to keep the whole thing stable.
Dance your way to Simon’s Flickr page to see more of his MOCs.

Borderlands Funko Pop Vinyl Figures Will Loot Your Wallet
Borderlands is one of my all time favorite video game franchises. I love looting and shooting stuff, so it’s a natural favorite for me. I always liked Claptrap better than all the other characters – a snarky robot is right up my alley.
Funko Pop vinyl action figures from the franchise are here and you can choose from one of four different designs. You can get Claptrap, Handsome Jack, Mad Moxxi, and Psycho. The Psycho is pointing his fingers in a gun-like fashion just as he does on the front of the game box.
Each figure is exactly what you expect of a Funko Pop offering with freakishly big heads and big round eyeballs. Each one will cost you $9.99(USD) and you can get them now at ThinkGeek.
Borderlands Pants: for Mercenary Work, Cosplay and Birthday Parties
If you were envious of cosplayer Kirameku’s custom made Nisha the Lawbringer pants, mosey on to Etsy shop Déjà Neuf Heures and inquire about their cel-shaded, Borderlands-inspired women’s pants. They’re made of cotton and polyester and are stretchy and comfy.
You’re guaranteed to look brutal in these. Order a pair from Déjà Neuf Heures’ Etsy shop for $114 (USD). However, I think the shop only posts one pair at a time. If the pair on display are not in the size you’re looking for, try sending the shop a message. No, not Lynchwood style. I mean an actual written message. Easy.

Borderlands Lifesize Claptrap Replica: Hey Everybody! Check out My Package!
Whether you find Claptrap annoying or endearing, I think we can all agree that we would like to own a lifesize replica of the smart-mouthed robot from the Borderlands games. At least this version won’t talk and talk. And talk. Then talk some more.
This replica from BlackNoboGeekery has some super nice detail, including raised side panels and faux rivets. It’s made from wood and polystyrene foam, then handpainted in the Hyperion yellow with all the lines and cell shading to match the ‘bot from the game. He stands about 27 inches tall and weighs in at about 10 pounds. he also has a wheeled base for easy transport.
If you want, its maker can also add a light-up eye, poseable arms with ball-and-socket joints, or a custom paint job if you want. It is perfect for any game room.
