Funko Releasing Life-size Rick & Morty Portal Gun Toy

Posted on by

Rick and Morty‘s third season recently wrapped up with a dizzying finale. Funko has been working on something to tide the show’s fans over. The Pop! maker announced its life-size Rick and Morty Portal Gun back in June. The 8″-long toy has since warped into online stores for pre-order, including on Amazon where it’s listed at just $15 (USD).

The replica has a variety of lights and a glow-in-the-dark effect. Funko says that the toy also emits sound effects.

Build Rick and Morty’s Portal Gun for Cheap

Posted on by

By now you’ve probably seen many builds of Rick and Morty’s portal gun, but this version from DIY Prop Shop looks pretty amazing. Makes me want to get schwifty. Take a sh*t on the floor!

A giant head must have shown up at DIY prop shop and bellowed, “Show me what you got!” and they did. They showed off this awesome portal gun. It looks great and a nice bonus is that it costs $40 or less to put together.

Now go and build one and get travelling to other dimensions. I’m sure you won’t get into any trouble at all, but if you, just run. If you ruin one world, there are plenty of others after all.

Papercraft Portal Gun: When Life Gives You Paper…

Posted on by

Portal gun replicas are usually quite expensive. But with a bit of cardboard and creativity, you too can make a neat gun and get the science done. And that’s no lie. Just look at what deviantART member svanced was able to achieve:

portal gun papercraft by svanced

As you’ll hear in the video below, svanced made the gun using black and white cardboard, a few pieces of black cable, transparent duct tape – although it looks like scotch tape to me – transparent plastic and a couple of blue LEDs, one from a flashlight and one from a lighter. All in all it cost svanced about $10 (USD) in materials and about 60 hours of work.

So test subject, ready to make your own Portal gun? You can watch the guide that Svanced used on Indy Mogul’s YouTube channel.

Portal Gun Turned into Gravity Gun: Levitates Companion Cube

Posted on by

One of my favorite guns in the history of video games has to be the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. Perhaps my second favorite is the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, which admittedly is more of a tool than a gun. Now, the smart guys over at Hack-a-Day have combined them both – sorta, kinda.

How, you might ask? Caleb Kraft took his off-the-shelf model of the Portal gun, and added a levitation device to the front of it – currently capable of lifting a small model of the weighted companion cube. He achieved this by hacking his StellaNova magnetic levitating globe and tearing the magnetic coil from the desktop plaything (throwing the Earth off its axis and ripping a hole in it in the process.) He then attached the coil to one of the arms of the Portal gun, and attached the magnet from inside of the globe to a foam model of the companion cube.

Check it out in action in the video below:

Cool, no? Unfortunately, the magnetic levitation field doesn’t hold up well to movement, and can’t really lift anything very heavy. Too bad. I was really looking forward to picking up some circular saw blades and flinging them at zombies this Halloween.

Custom-made Aperture Science gas mask will make sure you’re still alive, won’t open portals

Valve's Portal series has been used as the pretext for many achievements outside of puzzle gaming, including getting hitched. Keeping you from shuffling off this mortal coil, however, is still new. Two Horns United has given a gas mask a decidedly nerdy visual upgrade that resembles the game's iconic Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device, right down to the light-up energy chambers. Best of all, unlike some homebrew projects, you'll have a (probably limited) chance at buying one yourself after June. Coworkers might look at you oddly as you strap a portal gun to your face during a safety drill, but you'll have the quiet satisfaction of knowing you're truly ready for a neurotoxin attack, not to mention taking the title of a Jonathan Coulton song very literally.

Portal, although one of the best series of all time, is not precisely “cute”, right? That is, until someone decides to represent it in amigurumi form.

We’ll give you a moment so you can say “aaaaw”, and the you can keep on reading. Chell and the Cube will never be ...
