Borderlands Claptrap Trash Can: Please Don’t Shoot It!

Claptrap is kind of annoying. Cute, but annoying. The robot from Borderlands has a grating voice, he follows you everywhere, and spends way too much time beatboxing. I complain, but the game wouldn’t be the same without him. The folks over at Our Nerd Home must feel the same way because they made a Claptrap trash can.

I would say that is entirely warranted. They also have a tutorial for you to follow along and build a Claptrap disposal unit of your very own if you want one in your home. And who wouldn’t? You’ll need a step-on trash can, cables, cardboard, and some other stuff, but the end result looks pretty amazing.

It would feel great to throw trash in this guy after having to deal with him in game for a few hours. Take that, you bucket of bolts!

Limited Edition Blue Claptrap Figure

Are you a fan of Borderlands? If you say that you are, then the chances of you weeping with tears of joy when you manage to get hold of this $19.99 limited edition Claptrap figure would be pretty high. After all, it is not everyday that s figure is released, whether it is based on a movie, video game, or real life person. The Limited Edition Blue Claptrap Figure is based on the blue variant (Blu14) which hails from the original Borderlands game, measuring 4″ in height, while boasting posable arms, where it is accompanied by a rolling wheel, retractable drawer and antenna, and a display base which resembles the rocky, sandy terrain of Pandora.

Of course, it will not be like your typical Claptrap, as this particular model remains nice and silent all the time, and there will not be any banter to drive you nuts, either. Needless to say, this is an officially licensed Borderlands collectible, so what are you waiting for? Place an order already, and perhaps get it as a surprise for your loved one if he or she also loves all things Borderlands.

Borderlands Claptrap Wedding Cake: Save the Last Dance for Him

You know, I kind of like Claptrap from the Borderlands games, but I have to admit, he was also really, really annoying. Still, he made the game a little more interesting with his stupid banter. He’s just not as cool as R2-D2.
