Men in Black Agents Case?

[Nicksdad]

So I have a neuralizer and noisy cricket that I want to carry / display in a field agents case. Problem is, I haven't found one yet that I feel would go with the look of the movie. I don't want to go with a common pistol case because it looks kinda every day. Any body seen a case that might look appropriate to transport said equipment?

I bet a backgammon case, with a fitted interior, would look great. A lot of them are leather bound and they are about the right size for those two items.

Respectfully, I don't feel leather would look "right". I think it should be shiney or very high gloss, perhaps in black, white or silver.

Gotta agree with Funky Jedi - when I think MIB, I think cool chrome gadgets. Have you considered something like this:

http://www.mezzi.com/Business-Cases/MEZZI-SUPERslim-Aluminum-Briefcase---2-0---Chrome/

It's got the right kind of look, and you could add some MIB paper props to the slots/pockets inside to fill out your display.

Just another random though, whatever case you choose, make it a bit oversized compared to the cricket. Think of the movie scene where K and J gear up. J's all stoked up about that room full of powerful looking chrome space guns... K grabs the big one for himself and then hands J the noisy cricket like it's the most dangerous weapon in the galaxy. I think you'd capture a bit of that humor if you had a bigger case like you're lugging around an interstellar 357 magnum, but when you crack it open there's nothing but this tiny little pea shooter inside.

Those Mezzi cases look cool. The lines on the outside of the case are similiar to the lines on the neuralizer. I wonder if the pockets on the inside can be removed so foam could be added.

To me, it seems a plain "blending in" case is what they would use. The black suits, non descript black sedans, etc. But what is hidden inside is the special part.

However, if you want a high tech look consider a tool case(like a drill or saw box) I see them cheap on craigslist and many of them have a smooth exterior with a very angular modern shape.

What kind of neuralyzer do you have?

If you could find a copy of a Haliburton camera case (I say a copy, as real ones are VERY expensive:eek), that would fit in with the 50s/60s future look of the sets.

I will second the Haliburton case, I have several haliburton cases and they perfectly capture the atomic age aesthetic from the MIB series.
But yep they are pricey.

Yea, I was looking at the halliburton cases as a possibility. I plan on housing my cricket, MR neuralizer, and J-2 gun in it.
