Video Discription |
There are no two ways about it - NECA really nailed it with this replica. Following in the footsteps of their much-loved Portal Device replica, their Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (or more colloquially, "Gravity Gun") replica from Valve's aging-yet-still-amazing Half-Life 2 video game takes things to a whole new level. Attention to detail abounds, from the weathered metal look all across the device to the tiny power gauge and included strip of duct tape that holds it in place during the game.
The lighting effects are more impressive in person than I had expected. One thing to note is that the LEDs at the ends of the three poseable extending arms are orange in color, not white/blue like currently shown in Amazon's product photo. The orange plastic diffuser in the center of the gun does a great job of creating subtle color variances when turned on, giving a very real sense of depth to the lighting. It also looks spectacular from the front of the device.
The only real disappointment is that there is no feature to keep the pulsing light and "humming" sound effect on. Truthfully, I probably wouldn't want the sound constantly going, but it would be very cool to have the ability to keep the pulsing light going constantly. As it stands, the unit just glows a steady orange when turned on with no sound effects unless you press a button.
Speaking of the sound effect buttons, NECA has done a great job of recreating the in-game sounds and doing so with plenty of volume. Aside from the red "on/off" switch on the right-hand side of the device, there is a small button under the main handle of the gun and a larger red button next to the handle on the left. Pressing just the bottom button makes the "shooting" sound, pressing just the left button makes the "grabbing/holding" sound, and pressing both buttons together gives a third sound - the loud "bwoop" that means something in the game is unable to be picked up. The unit also pulses brighter when pressing the buttons.
While NECA makes a separate stand for its Portal Device replica, the Gravity Gun has no such options. Thankfully, NECA had the foresight to know that folks were going to need a way to display this item without resting it on the front arms, and the built in two small flip-out stands in the bottom of the device. They are very unobtrusive when flipped out and blend right in with the rest of the device to the point where you probably won't even notice them. When you're ready for a little cosplay (or scaring the cat in the middle of the night), they flip back up into the gun away and out of sight.
Last but not least, the box this device comes in is pretty impressive itself. Instead of a run-of-the-mill product box, it has been made up to look like some short of shipping crate for the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator from the fictional Black Mesa labs who invented the device in the video game. It is definitely display worth if you so desired and would make a great base upon which to perch your Gravity Gun proudly.
I've bought a lot of toys, replicas, and figures over the years from movies and games I love, only to later experience a bit of buyer's remorse for paying so much for something that doesn't do much more than just sit there. I feel no such feelings towards this prop. It is glorious. It is beautiful. And if you love Half-Life, it should be yours. Hands down my favorite replica I've bought in the last 5 years, and most highly recommended.
