WETA: District 9 Guns

[Nwerke]

I can't wait for the CJ machinegun. Definitely one to buy a pair of - one to keep 'stock', and one to convert to the black version with the bigger fuel cell.

Tim,
Quick question, If the Arc only comes with a wall mount is the gun able to stand upright ? I've no room on the wall for that item and was going to put it on top of a sideboard.
Thanks

Hi CelticWarrior,

Sorry, no, it doesn't stand by itself. We did consider including a stand, however it would have to be substantial to hold the gun up. And this would have increased the size and cost of the replica. So we opted for the wall brackets.

Cheers

Tim

Thanks everyone for all your ideas and suggestions.

We really will take this into consideration. In fact some of your requests are under away already

More District 9 announcements coming soon

Cheers

Tim

hey Griefboy, does yours stand on its own? Looks like it should do....?

 

[Caveneau]

Can someone please post some hi-res screencaps of some of the unused weapons from the Blu-Ray version? If not soon...eventually.

It does stand on its own but being so top heavy it will fall over if you just look at it wrong. :lol

It looks like there are 8 plastic disks on the inside area. A flickering light source behind that would work. You could also add some EL wire or LED's inside the outer rim to add a glow.

It reminds me of a Thermaltake SpinQ Performance Series CPU Cooler ..Kev

- don't think you have to be a member to see them, hopefully not anyway.

I guess these have to be production prototypes or paint masters, let's hope the factory nails the paint job. The weathering on the screen-used stuff is really impressive.

If thats an indication of what were getting, wow, very, very nice indeed, thanks for posting Martyn!

Eh, my pleasure, guys. BTW another S&F member remarked that a Weta Cave employee indicated that "more is coming in next week", whatever that means?!??! Can't be more new products already can it? What'll be the pace of D9 product announcements? Tim, your mob aren't going to bankrupt us all, are they? (Says he, secretly hoping they are.)

You just know theres going to be some rich guy out there who'll buy one of each D9 gun Weta releases and have some awesome collection showcasing them.

I'm planning on buying TWO of some guns - f'rinstance the CJ machinegun, which has a variant. It's not that I have more money than sense - I'll have to scrimp elsewhere. But at times like this I wish that was the case.

A local friend of mine ordered two gas projectors!

 

[Griefboy]

Hmmm.... Looks like the Assault Rifle is up next!

The Assault Rifle, the Gas Projector and the Arc Generator.
These weapons were designed by Greg Broadmore and manufactured by Weta for Neill Blomkamp's Academy Award nominated movie. You can also buy them direct from Weta.

Assualt rifle is just awesome, I like it more than the arc gun. One of the few that got extensive use in the film. (Testing scenes, main weapon in assualt on MNU) plus popping up in several other shots.

I ordered two Arc Generators on the assumption that it would be very easy to sell or trade the second one.
And it is indeed already spoken for. :love

Alright... looks like I'm getting the Arc Generator.
