Just another nerd.
Back in 2008, DC Direct released a Green Lantern power battery replica that retailed for $395. Ouch. In May 2013 they’re releasing a new version of the power battery replica for $199.95.
This is apparently part of a series of replica power batteries. No more Darkest Night crap, please.
TriForce is currently taking preorders for this replica of the Riddler Trophy from Batman: Arkham City. Standing at 19″ tall and weighing 8 pounds, it also features “working LED effects” (i.e., the question mark lights up).
This Klingon Disruptor from Diamond Toys is a nice companion to the various phasers and other lower-end Star Trek replicas the company has come out with the past few years. Personally, while I have a lot of Star Trek toys and replicas, Star Trek is something I’ve come to love to hate rather than just love over the years.
It is out of stock as I write this, but Entertainment Earth sells this metal Captain America shield replica for $59.99. Unfortunately the product page doesn’t say what metal or how much this weighs.
At times it seemed Mattel was never going to get around to releasing it, but last Fall the toy company finally released their replica of the Ghostbusters’ PKE Meter. All the reviews I’ve seen on this peg it as being very well done, with the sounds, flashing lights, and opening wings (and probably about as reliable at detecting ghosts as those idiots on Ghost Hunters). Unfortunately, that level of detail will also set you back $150-$180.
This Nick Fury ID Set was released around the time Iron Man 2 came out. It’s a wallet style identification, complete with replica SHIELD badge and Nick Fury ID card. And, of course, a blank ID card so you can impress the ladies with your uber-Marvel dorkness (that’s my plan anyway). About $30 on Amazon.com at the moment, so get them while they’re hot.
