Buy A Portal Gun This April



Admit it, you've wanted a portal gun for years. Now you've got your chance.

NECA (it stands for "National Entertainment Collectibles Association") have proven themselves over and over again as some of the finest creators of geek ephemera on the planet. From Harry Potter to Street Fighter, their stock-in-trade is crafting ridiculously high-quality toys that allow adults to simultaneously show affection for various fictions as well as ward off any lingering worries of unexpected procreation.

Now the company has teamed with Valve to mass produce replicas of the titular gun from Portal, and you'll be able to snag one for only $170.

From the official product description:

Beautiful woven ─ ─ curve, the mobile device space of a dream

- Puzzle action game masterpiece of VALVE, [PORTAL]! There is no guy does not start,
"Cancer incidence portal" is "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device" thing, Prop rainy day
Appearance is made to the replica!
- Intact during the game, the mobile device space of a dream that brings together the technology's science aperture
Fully reproduced. Light blue and orange is equipped with the gimmick of course.
Can enjoy the beautiful design of unique products VALVE, fan is a must-see item.
THE CAKE IS A LIE!

In fairness, the above is a machine translation, but you get the gist of the thing, right? Plus, that image at top is a pretty solid representation of a portal gun, so what are you waiting for? Hobby Search is currently accepting pre-orders [http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10175896] for these things, and according to the site, they're scheduled to ship in April.

That's just enough time to incur the wrath of a petulant, tragic AI and stock up on incendiary citrus fruits. Hop to it!

Want! But is expensive and the official product description sounds like something you'd find in your Spam Folder.

Science is sexy enough to ward off the nerd stigma, and aperture science doubly so.
Still, it looks a little... cheap looking for that price. You know, a bit too mass produced-ie.

I don't think I'll ever wind up owning one, is what I'm saying.
Even if I did have the disposable income for it.

Yeah, that's a cool idea, but not worth it at that price. Now, if it was a real portal gun... :p

I want that so damn bad, but I don't know if I can justify buying it for that much.

But if I can convince someone that does have money that they don't need anymore to buy me one....hmmm.....

Really $170? Thats not bad, I was expecting more like $450ish (and I'm a student). If I have the money at the time, I'll certainly buy it. Does it come with some sort of stand though?

The site you buy it from is a Japanese one. So I'm guessing that's a downside of translation.

OT: Isn't it weird that some random website is selling this and not say... the Valve Store? [http://store.valvesoftware.com/]

That is the single best product description I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Out of all the things it translated, 'The Cake is a lie' was done perfectly. Fantastic. That's a pricy hunk of flashy plastic though, no matter how beautifully woven the curves of this prop rainy day are.
