Cool gun injector dna thingy at Walmart

[Kylash]

Not really a replica of anything, but though some out there might want to be aware of this if theyre looking for a good base for a small gun type prop, its pretty cool for $20. Back by electronic toys.

Very cool, that couldbe modified into a cool steampunk Ray gun!

Or with modding, a really cheap Noisy Cricket...

What is it actually for?

Looks like a jack for walkman headphones on the tip.

Cool nonetheless!

its a toy online game where you nplug it into toy dinosaurs to "extract" their "dna" and load it onto your computer to play online games.

Damn, I remember when I was a kid - we had to use real hypodermic needles...... :confused....

The chamber on top looks *really* Resident Evil-ish.

I saw it and thought it might be a starting point for the Explosive Gel gun from the new Batman: Arkham Asylum. Box up the body a little, dial greebie on the back right side and a new blunt nozle tip.

I actually just picked one up! I have been looking to make one of these for a while:

With some minor changes, it could be close enough.

 

[DARTH SABER]

Definitely picking one of these up.

BTW, is there any way to open up the clear tube to add colored liquid?

I don't know what the hell I'm going to use it for but I'm buying one. I really like how they tried to hide the screws by adding the extra details. It doesn't make them so obvious.

"Hah! Gotcha tiny dinosaur!" (k-CHAKssssssst) "Raaaaaaar!"

And then he jumps into your face and claws your eyes out. :sleep

 

[Zodou]

That is pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's your flu shot, Mr. Dinosaur.

 

[silverskyes402]

I was thinking of sealing the tube up and adding some red or blue hair gel, see through but has bubbles, cool little effect

It would also make a cool Re-animator type prop. Going to have to pick one up now.
