Harrison Krix of Volpin Props, whose jaw-droppingly outstanding Big Daddy suit I mentioned in one of my previous post has again managed to awe and inspire us by taking some of the most surreal and beautiful photos of him in said suit. He was complemented by his fiancee Emily, who looked equally amazing as a Little Sister. The photos were taken in the Georgia Aquarium, and I think you’ll agree with me that they do indeed look as though the pictures came right out of the game itself! Just compare the pictures with this official Bioshock wallpaper from the 2kGames site and you’ll get what I mean.

After you’re done picking up your jaw from the floor from viewing the rest of the high res pictures in his blog here, you’ll be in for another surprise as he’s currently auctioning off this very same Big Daddy suit on Ebay (auction ends Dec 03, 2009 09:20:14 PST). Yes folks, if you have some extra greens lying around and you feel like owning this superbly made replica costume of the Big Daddy, you actually have the ability to do so now. Mr Krix is even willing to build a custom display stand for the suit for a fee if the auction winner would like one.

This suit and the photoshoot is awesomeness redefined, and I’m dreaming of having it on display in my games room even as I type…*sigh*..note to self..I’ve gotta earn myself more money.

Terminator Salvation Fuel Cell Lighter

Terminator Salvation mania is currently sweeping cinemas worldwide. Reviews have been a mixed bag. I haven’t seen it myself, but will be heading to my local cinema sometime later this week to judge for myself. In the meantime, I guess I’ll just drool over this rather cool Terminator Salvation Fuel Cell Lighter from Hollywood Collectibles Group.

This lighter is fashioned after a Nuclear Fuel Cell which is found in the chest of every Terminator, and is what gives them their juice to light up those menacingly familiar glowing red (or blue) eyes. According to HCG, the lighter costs $19.99, is made from chrome plated diecast metal, and measures 3.5″ in length and is presented in a metal Terminator Salvation collector’s box.

If you’d like to get yourself one, just head over to the Hollywood Collectibles Group site.

Here’s a nice replica of the EVA-01 Progressive Knife seen in the film “Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone.” It’s got a foldable blade and is apparently made of vinyl.

This’ll make a great prop for the Cosplayer in you. Just make sure you don’t go around stabbing anyone with it. Not that you’d hurt anybody, you’d just end up in a lot of pain when the angry mob realises that you’re just using a vinyl knife. Ouch.

If you fancy one for yourself, just head over to HobbyLink Japan to get yourself some stabbing fun.
