Customizable Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device

If you are a huge fan of the video game Portal, then you would definitely want to check out this particular officially licensed Portal product – the $99.99 Customizable Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. As the name would have it, you can be just…you. It does not matter if you are more partial towards Chell, Atlas, or P-Body, you can be who you were born to be. Perhaps your portal gun comes with Atlas stripes, but you would want to fire in P-Body colors why not? Either that or you can opt to have no stripes at all, while having it fire in Atlas colors, how about that?

The Customizable Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is a life size, 1:1 scale replica of the Handheld Portal Device, and it is more or less guaranteed to make you feel as though you are really in the testing facility. Being fully customizable, all it takes is a single switch, and you can toggle between the LED colors: red orange/yellow, blue, purple. The other switch will allow you to flip between color 1, color 2, and off. All you need to do is set the switch to the type of portal you would want, pull the trigger, and you’re good to go. It is powered by a trio of C batteries.

Valve taunts us with prospect of official Portal 2 sentry turret replica video

A Holy Grail of gamer memorabilia is the Portal turret replica — as much a tech toy as proof that you can sing “Want You Gone” from memory. It’s already been coveted when made in small batches by fans, so you can imagine the hysteria when Valve Software itself posts a teaser video (found after the break) at its store’s Facebook page showing what looks to be a near life-size, computer-linked version of Aperture Science’s typical sentry from Portal 2, minus the laser targeting and live machine guns. After that, however, we’re left to guess whether or not it’s just a decoration for Valve’s offices or a commercial product to buy alongside a Companion Cube plushie. We’ve asked Valve about providing more details in the near future and will let you know if the developer is any more talkative than its robot guards.

Licensed Portal 2 Turret replica to arrive later this year, leave bullets at home

If an enthusiast-built Portal 2 turret piques your interest, Gaming Heads’ Valve-licensed miniature replica may very well force your wallet open. Modeled using Portal 2‘s in-game assets and cast in “high quality poly-stone,” these mini-turrets aim to intimidate intruders with a motion activated light-up eye. In addition to the stoically silent basic model, the company’s offering an exclusive edition, which plays sounds and voice samples from the game. Only 1,100 of these hand painted facsimiles will be produced (350 with sound, 750 without), but the company notes that other figures based on the adorable death machines are in the works. Pre-orders have already begun, so collectors will want to act fast — provided they’re ready to pony up $300-325, of course.
