Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Collector’s Edition Has a Tiny Musical Chest: Ta Da Da Da!

You can buy an unofficial life-sized replica of the treasure chests from The Legend of Zelda. It turns out there’s also an official replica of said treasure chest, except it fits in the palm of your hand. The musical treasure chest will be included in the collector’s edition of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

The treasure chest can store up to five 3DS cartridges.

It emits the classic melodic fanfare when you open it, as demonstrated by The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in the Vine video below (be sure to turn on the sound)…

I’m not sure if the collector’s edition will be released globally, but it’s available for pre-order in the UK via Game, in Spain via Game as well and in Australia via EBGames. Aside from the chest, the limited edition bundle will also come with a poster and a Nintendo eShop download code for the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Fan Made Titanfall Titan Mech Action Figure: That Was Fast

Titanfall is an upcoming online multiplayer FPS for the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. It seems to be one of the better launch titles for the Xbox One, putting an emphasis on agility and speed while rockin’ some sweet-looking mecha. A Japanese custom toy maker appears to have the same strengths. He managed to make a replica of the game’s giant robot, even though the game isn’t out yet.

I could very well be mistaken, but I’m guessing the toy maker uses the moniker nammkkyys. What I gleaned from his blog is that he based his replica on the publicly available trailers and images of Titanfall, as well as the large Titan bust that was shown at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. What makes his feat even more impressive is that he made it from scratch; it’s not a mod of an existing action figure. I think he took a few liberties here and there, but overall he did a great job. The action figure is about 9.5″ tall, which by the toy maker’s estimate makes it a 1/30 scale replica.

Check out nammkkyys’ blog for more images of the impressive Titan action figure. Be sure to check his previous posts to see his work in progress images; those will give you a better idea of his skill and dedication. Seeing as Respawn Entertainment i.e. Titanfall’s developer itself was the one who spread the word about nammkkyys’ work, I wouldn’t be surprised if he scores a free copy of the game for his work.

Girlfriend Is Making This Guy Sell His Giant AT-ST Walker

Man, it isn’t easy being a geek with a girlfriend or wife sometimes. You know the story. You find something you love and you display it. You love it, but she hates it. That’s what happened with the gigantic AT-ST Walker that is for sale on eBay right now. Apparently, its owner’s girlfriend is sick of having it around.

The AT-ST’s owner, Martin Fillery says:

I think my girlfriend is starting to get a bit worried about me. I’ve always been a bit mad, and I love sci-fi stuff, but my spending on props is going through the roof… The Scout Walker is amazing, but I realised pretty quickly that it was just too big to use as on stage, so I’m selling it so I can get more toys.

The 16-foot-tall AT-ST Imperial Walker will cost you £9,800 (~$16,000 USD) – plus you’ll have to figure out how to ship it from the U.K.. You know this guy’s just going to get a bunch of other stuff she hates. This girl has a heart made of carbonite.

Mass Effect M-6 Carnifex Replica Pistol Is a Krogans Best Friend

If you’re a big fan of the Mass Effect franchise, you’ll undoubtedly remember the M-6 Carnifex pistol. We’ve seen some really cool replicas of weapons from the video game in the past, like the N7 rifle replica, but you couldn’t buy that particular replica. ThinkGeek has a Carniflex replica that you can purchase, if you hurry.

The company has a limited edition of 500 Carnifex replica pistols available for the entire world. The highly detailed replica isn’t exactly cheap at $399.99(USD), but I guarantee you it’s cheaper than having your own replica commissioned. ThinkGeek says that this is a full-scale replica of the game weapon.

The side arm is also an officially licensed Mass Effect 3 collectible and is hand-finished and hand-painted. Its made from Polystone and weighs in at a substantial seven pounds. The replica measures 12.5″(L)x 7.5″(H) x 1.75″(W). It also has working LED lights to give it that deadly glow. You can purchase the pistol right now, but you’d better move fast as there’s no indication of how many have been sold so far.

Final Fantasy VII Buster Sword Steampunk Replica: Unswingable Sword

In swords that are too heavy to lift news, the folks at Brick Replicas have built this amazing and huge replica Buster Sword. Final Fantasy fans will recognize it as the one from Final Fantasy VII, but with steampunk style.

The sword is 6.5′ tall. It has a cog wheel and a gauge and it even lights up. There is no info on what it weighs, but clearly this thing will put you in the hospital if you tried to swing it at an enemy. It would look great hanging on the wall, though.

Just don’t try to use it in a real fight. Unless of course your enemy has one too. Then it would be the lamest fight in history as you both struggle to lift your swords and resort to throwing stones.

This Needler Replica Prop Is A Halo Fan’s Dream Come True

This Needler Replica Prop Is A Halo Fans Dream Come True

In my experience playing various Halo games, I know one opponent that you always need to look out for is the one carrying the Needler. Yes – the guy carrying the rocket launcher is also pretty deadly, but if you come across a professional Needler user, then you’re as good as dead as soon as you’re hit with the first round from the weapon. That’s why I’m both extremely impressed and extremely frightened of this Needler replica that was created by Volpin Props. (more…)

    16-Foot Star Wars AT-ST Walker Replica: for Half-hearted Invasions

    eBay seller Hollywood’s Finest is selling what it claims to be a life-size replica of the All Terrain Scout Transport aka the AT-ST aka the Ewoks’ Bitch. However it seems like Hollywood’s Finest didn’t bother looking up the canonical dimensions of the ill-advised vehicle. This replica is 16ft. tall, but the Empire requires its AT-STs to be about 28ft. high. I think the replica still looks imposing despite its height deficiency.

    Hollywood’s Finest said that the replica is made from metal and wood. It appears that the trailer that it’s standing on will be included with the purchase; that’ll make it much easier for the person who buys it to haul it around. The replica can also be detached from the trailer, thanks to an integrated metal stand. The walker’s head can also be lowered between its legs using a built-in winch if you need to fit it in a smaller space.

    On The Level Gaming got its hands on images of some of the shop’s wares. There are helmets, daggers, a bow and various pieces of armor. What? Yes I’ve played Skyrim! Why, that’s the Dagger of Daggering right there!

    Head to Folkenstal to order these items. I’m not sure if they’ve been already bought, but some of the armor featured here are not on the shop as of this writing. I wonder if you’ll get a discount on the other items if you get the Amulet of Zenithar first. Yeah! Inside joke! Thanks Google!

    Guy Builds Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica: K.A.R.R. Better Watch out

    I can hear the theme music playing in my head now. Just look at this awesome replica of K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. To say that this version is impressive would be a massive understatement.
    kitt
    Chris Palmer built his replica out of a 1991 Pontiac Trans Am, while the original KITT was a 1982, in case you weren’t aware. Sadly, Chris’s K.I.T.T. doesn’t actually talk yet, but that can be forgiven because all of the other details are simply amazing. It took him about three years to complete the project.

    I don’t know about you, but I am really jealous. This brings back all kinds of memories of my childhood back in the 80s. And a time when David Hasselhoff hadn’t lost his mind yet.

    Zelda 3D Spiritual Stone Replicas Can’t Be Bought with Rupees

    Are you a Zelda fan? I mean a real Zelda fan? If you love The Ocarina of Time, then these are for you. Check out these amazingly beautiful replicas of the Kokiri Emerald, Zora Sapphire and Goron Ruby. Shiny!
    zelda stones
    These replica Spiritual Stones measure about four inches across and are cast from resin. They will look great used in your cosplay, or even just sitting on your desk. Heck, wear them with your regular clothing and see who can spot them for what they are.

    These replicas are double-sided so they are completely three-dimensional. While the Goron Ruby and Zora Sapphire are identical on front and back, the Kokiri Emerald has a different pattern on the back.
