Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit

Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit

Oh. Hi. So. How are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO! Some of our fondest memories from Portal 2 were of carrying PotatOS around the testing facility. We felt so close to her; it was almost like we were friends. Except we weren't, really. But we understand. Her days used to be easy. She tested. Nobody murdered her or put her in potato or fed her to birds.....

The Doctor:You put in your personalities, emotions, traits, memories, secrets, everything. You gave them your lives. Human lives. A-mazing. Are you surprised they walked off with them?

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica

There's blood in your mouth. The flecks of metallic splatter escape the convulsing skull of a Locust brute as you power the gnashing spin of rusted blades through his howling face. Does its blood taste like your chainsaw or is that the taste of the brute's crude chrome finish? The toughest part is at the base of the neck. It's surprising your saw doesn't give up half way through. It takes a moment to re-grip and drive down, and in that moment, the renewed sound of howling Locusts floods your ears.

You shove the butt of the gun just under the crook of your right arm and reach for your Snub Pistol. There she is. A quick kiss on her barrel and it's over the shoulder, the corner of your eye running the length of her pristine body. You'd take a moment and marvel at her, but she's got work to do, and it'd be rude to think she's got the time.

Breathing down the digitized neck of Marcus Fenix is the closest you'll ever get to feeling the shredding torque of blood-stained steel clawing its way through Locust flesh. But, the desire for proximity has finally been addressed: the Gears of War 3 C.O.G. Snub Full Scale Replica. A masterfully crafted, polystone-cast, precision replica of the standard-issue, semi-automatic sidearm, this piece comes straight from the hands of Delta Team. Easily the most intricately detailed replica on the market, there's nothing remotely close to the feeling of gripping 10 lbs of elegant destruction.

Product Specifications

•Gears of War 3 - C.O.G. Snub Full Scale Replica

•Are you tough enough to handle one?

•Officially licensed Gears of War 3 replica weapon

•Made of hand-painted, hand-finished, hand-cast polystone

•Feels like cold, hard steel in your hand

•Dimensions: 13" long

•Weight: 10 lbs

Link on Epona Statue

Link on Epona Statue

"Oh, yeah, I have to introduce you to my friend, fairy boy! She's this horse. Her name is Epona. Isn't she cute?" — Malon

We have to admit that there was a small scuffle regarding which ThinkGeek employee got to keep this product sample. By small scuffle, we mean only a couple people got black eyes and broken ribs. Thankfully, our hologram doctor was able to make everyone better. In the end, Willie won, because he is a ninja with a biker beard and a mean left hook.

This statue is worth punching someone over. It is that awesome.

Size: The first thing you'll notice is that this item comes in a box that requires two hands to carry. The statue is a whopping 17 inches tall and weighs over 16 pounds. You will need to clear off a significant amount of space in your display cabinet and maybe even move some shelves around in order to accommodate its massive awesomeness.

Craftsmanship: Link and Epona are cast in high quality polystone and are hand-finished. You're going to want to run your fingers over all the tiny details, from the tip of Link's pointed cap to the grass under Epona's feet.

Details: Each piece is hand-painted, which makes this no mere "figure." This is a work of art and will command attention wherever you put it in your home or office. Every little detail is here, from Epona's decorative barding to the look of lost innocence in Link's eyes. Epona's coat even seems to glisten as if she's headed from one battle right into the next.

Collecting toys is fun, but every once in a while, a piece of art like this comes along that blows them all away. Serious fans of the Legend of Zelda will treasure this piece for years to come. If you want it, grab those rupees now, because there are only 2500 pieces worldwide and ThinkGeek only has a small number of them.

Product Specifications

•The ultimate gift for any Legend of Zelda fan

•Link on Epona statue, from the Master Arts line of Twilight Princess Centerpieces

•Epona rears back on her hind legs, ready to charge into battle

•Cast in high quality polystone, individually painted and finished to exacting

standards •Comes in deluxe, full-color packaging, with hand numbered base, and includes an Authenticity Card

•Limited Edition: Only 2500 pieces worldwide (and ThinkGeek only has a small number of those)

•Dimensions: 17" tall x 16" long

•Weight: Over 16 pounds (this is one hefty piece!)

City Lights Globe

City Lights Globe

We are so jealous of astronauts. Listening to NASA folks describing what it's like to be up in space, experiencing zero gravity, eating astronaut ice cream, and seeing our planet from way on high... oh, we're green with envy. And looking at the City Lights Globe makes us wonder how the view of the Earth at night must change as we meatsacks develop more and more of it.

The City Lights Globe illuminates the cities of the world as they're seen from orbit. As it automatically rotates, the lights glow in the areas where night has fallen. Just place your City Lights Globe on its shiny mirrored base and it will do the rest. Just a warning, though, we put one on our desk and zoned out for at least an hour, daydreaming about being astronauts.

Product Specifications

•See the Earth's lights as they look from orbit at night

•When lights are off you can see the night time globe>p> •Automatically rotates using a special patented induction system

•Illuminates the cities where night has fallen as the world turns

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

All killer robots have to start somewhere. What will eventually one day be a muscle made of BioMetal Fiber capable of lifting humans into the air and crushing their skulls with one arm must have a beginning. And that beginning is the BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm.We love this little walker; read on to find out why!

Each BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm has one strand of BioMetal Fiber. When current is applied, the fiber heats up and contracts. This pulls the Inchworm's feet apart. When the current is stopped, the fiber cools and expands. Add a little grippy fabric on the bottom of each foot and the spring to return it to its original position, and you can easily see how the little inchworm can walk along most non-slick surfaces. The BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm is a great desktop toy, but it could also be the focus point of a killer science fair project. Remember, though, to treat your BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm with respect - 'cause when it's great grandson of a killing machine comes around, you'll need all the good references you can get!

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

•One strand of BioMetal Fiber is all that it takes to get this inchworm strolling.

•The BioMetal Fiber works like muscle fiber - when it heats up, it contracts.

•Heat up the fiber by applying electrical current.

•A great desk toy and a super awesome science fair project.

•The inchworm's single fiber muscle is sort of like a precursor to the muscles in Terminators!

•BioMetal Fiber is about 0.15mm in diameter.

•Batteries: 2 x AA (not included)

•Dimensions: approx. 1.75" x 1.5" x 0.44" (no current) - with a 19" (approx.) leash wire.

Well luckily the Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System is here to solve all your 8 and 16 bit gaming needs. Two top loading cartridge slots, one for NES the other for SNES, ensure full compatibility with all your old games... and it's completely couch lint free!

Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit

Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit

It's been a long time since there was any innovation in the field of catapults. Well, really, we're not sure of that, we're just pretending we know what we're talking about. Still, most catapults use rope or a spring to help create tension. When the arm is released, this tension flings it forward lobbing whatever at whomever. But that was the old way. The future of catapults involves magnets. Introducing, the Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit.

Each Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit is an easy-to-assemble, no-glue-needed kit. It uses a few seriously strong magnets to actually repel the arm up to the full flinging position. You can even feel the magnetic forces fighting each other as you bend the arm down to, well, arm it. Add one of the soft foam balls, and you're ready to explore the massive force of two magnets opposing each other - just as soon as you flip the firing trigger. From building the Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit, to firing it, to explaining to people how it works, your joy will be endless.

Magnetapult Magnetic Catapult Kit

•Use magnetic force to lob balls at your enemies with this easy-to-assemble kit. •Over 20 parts (including 2 soft foam ball projectiles).

•Made of MDF with rare earth magnets.

•No glue required.

•Range: About 12 feet.

•Assembled Dimensions: approx. 4" x 3.25" x 3" (in ready-to-fire position)

Silly Rhymes For Belligerent Children book

Silly Rhymes For Belligerent Children book

Timmy Davis contracted rabies, from his unclean rodent babies.

Sammy Smith got a grim prognosis, when his hamster gave him yersinosis.

Jeffy Conner, poor young fella, an iguana gave him salmonella.

Tiffy's hamster had a germ, now Tiffy has a new tape worm.

To Marky Spaniel it wasn't funny, when he got tularemia from his Easter bunny.

A rare microbial infection, came from Ian's fish collection.

Don't worry if your pet might bite, just check it well for parasites.

We know what kids like. They like gross, silly, wacky things. (And so do we, since we never grew up!) Trace Beaulieu (of Mystery Science Theater 3000) wrote gross, silly wacky poems in the same vein as Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey and paired them with artwork by Len Peralta (of Geek-a-Week). As the cover says, it's "a yucky big book of rainy day fun for belligerent children & odd adults with nothing better to do." That you? It's certainly us!

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch.

This is the watch inspired by the classic arcade games of the 1980s that tracks the time with two asteroids and a spacecraft. Its face enclosed by a miniature cabinet that bears all the nostalgic design elements of its full-sized forebears (including a non-functioning joystick), this watch pays homage to the space battle games that once lined the walls of arcade parlors. It marks the hour with a large asteroid, the minute with a smaller asteroid, and the seconds with a classically simplistic triangular ship that orbits around the face’s center. Although harmless to alien ships and celestial bodies, a press of the button does yield the familiar “pew” sound of a fully functioning energy weapon of the era while lighting up each hour marker. Miyota movement provides “stellar” timekeeping. Black 1" leather band fits wrists between 7 3/4"-10" circumference. Case 2 1/4" H x 1 1/2" W x 1" D. (3 oz.)
