Unboxing & Review: Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device Custom Kit

This is the latest Portal gun replica from NECA. The 'custom kit' version combines all three previous version into one. You can customize this version to look like Atlas, P-Body or Chell's version of the device. 

The look of it as a display piece is great but I felt like the feel of it in your hands is a little more "pasticy" than I expected. The way the lights work also could have been handled better. That being said for what this is it's very reasonably priced. You can get it now for $99.99 over at the Big Bad Toy Store.

3" Portal 2 Turrets Coming In Many Colors

These adorable 3-inch tall figures come from NECA, makers of the life-size replica Portal gun. The mini turrets will come in the classic white, Bullseye, zebra camo, sunburst, leopard camo, 'table', forest camo, sky camo, desert camo and hot rod paint jobs.

Unfortunately they will come in "blind boxes" meaning the boxes are sealed and there is no way to know which paint job you'll buy until you pay for it. These start shipping October 17th.

New Portal merchandise is sure to open a portal in my wallet

I apologize for the title joke. But it is true. How am I not supposed to buy a replica Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device? Complete with blue and orange lights I might add. There will only be a limited run of 5,000 of these so act fast.

If you aren't down for such a big investment there are some smaller Portal themed merch to get your hands on. A tiny Wheatly or Turret LED flashlight might be more your speed. Or if you're feeling adventurous you can make your own GLaDOS potato with the Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit. In the middle of writing this I pre-ordered the Portal gun, I have no self control.

Valve offers Portal 2 soundtrack for free

Portal 2's score was one of the regrettable things I left out my my review of the game. I'm not talking about Jonathan Coulton's new end song or 'Cara Mia', which sadly are not included. Rather the score that accompanies you, hurling, bouncing, speeding and falling through portals.

The score of Portal 2 really suits the game with gritty, technology inspired tones. This will accompany The Social Network score for me, as a soundtrack to occupy my ears while focusing on other things, like writing this post. However you intend to enjoy it, go get the Portal 2 soundtrack volume 1 now for the low, low price of free. While you're there you can also get some ringtones for your iPhone or android device. By titling this 'volume 1' I hope that volume 2 is not far behind.
