Portal 2 ATLAS and P-Body Action Figures Open a Portal to your Wallet

Posted on by

Portal 2 is one of those video games that was such a classic that gamers are still playing the title even though it’s a few years old now. If you are a fan of the game, you will want to get your wallet ready to buy one of these two action figures, or perhaps both.

NECA’s action figures are in the form of the co-op mode androids ATLAS and P-Body. Each figure stands about 7 inches-tall and they have glowing LED “eyes” and their own portal guns.

They are made to the same scale as NECA’s earlier Chell action figure and are officially licensed. You can buy either action figure for $24.99 or get the pair for $39.99 at ThinkGeek.

Official Halo Master Chief Motorcycle Helmet: Safety Evolved

Posted on by

We’ve seen a Master Chief motorcycle helmet before, but that was made by a fan and is not road legal. But start saving Halo fans, because next year NECA will release an official and DOT-approved Master Chief motorcycle helmet. The toymaker recently shared these images of the helmet’s sculpt prototype.

Posted on by

Cords and cables are boring and they get in the way. At least you can add some flair to your wires with one or two of these little things called Scalers. These will look great hanging from your headphone cables too.

Made by NECA, these little movie characters look adorable and they just snap onto almost any cord.

While the Scaler 2 series features Batman, The Joker, Spider-Man, and even the Knifehead from Pacific Rim and is available for pre-order with shipping scheduled for July of 2014.

Bioshock Infinite Motorized Patriot Action Figure: Columbia! F-Yeah!

Posted on by

We saw an unofficial LEGO version of the Motorized Patriot a couple of weeks ago. But if you wouldn’t mind spending a little cash for something more detailed, check out NECA’s officially licensed action figure of the fearsome Heavy Hitter.

The action figure stands 9″ tall and comes with two tattered flags of Columbia, two interchangeable heads and a gatling gun.

The gun’s barrels move if you turn its crank, and the flags fit in the back of the action figure, just like its virtual counterpart.

For the glory of Columbia, order the action figure from ThinkGeek for $30 (USD).

NECA NES RoboCop Action Figure: Alex Murphy is Feeling Blue

Posted on by

NECA’s upcoming RoboCop action figure caters to a tiny slice of Alex Murphy fans: the now grown men and women who played the 1989 NES RoboCop game. To everyone else, it’ll look like someone dropped the toy in a jar of ink, but in reality it’s the future of law enforcement rendered in the past of video game graphics.

If it still doesn’t look right to you, this video by YouTube channel nesguide should set things straight:

Ah, the bane of RoboCop’s existence: stairs. The action figure is articulated, is 7″ tall and has his signature Auto-9 Pistol, which you can store in its spring-loaded holster.

Dat box art! Your Prime Directive is to remember this date: February 2014. That’s the tentative release date for the action figure. NECA says it won’t make the action figure available ever again after it sells out. So don’t miss it or… there will be trouble.

Your Portal gun isn’t as cool as Hack-a-Day’s Portal gun (which actually levitates a companion cube)

Your Portal gun isn't as cool as HackaDay's Portal gun which actually levitates a companion cube

There you were, thinking your NECA-produced Portal gun replica was super neat all on its own. Well, okay -- it is -- but wouldn't it be even cooler if you could use it to make a baby companion cube levitate in mid-air with it? That question is exactly what lead to Hack a Day's creation of just such a device, as seen in the video below the break. By reappropriating a magnetic floating globe's parts and attaching said parts to both the gun and a homemade companion cube, Hack a Day were able to recreate at least part of the magic Chell experiences in her Aperture Science adventures. Of course, if you move the gun too much, the companion cube will fall out. Just think what that does to its psyche! You monster.
