ThinkGeek Announces Awesome New Portal Merchandise
ThinkGeek's licensing agreement with Valve continues to pay dividends for gamers. Today, the company announced nine new Portal 2 products.
All the products are currently for sale on ThinkGeek's Portal 2 page, here's a complete list of the new collectibles. I'm a particular fan of the bookends pictured above, and the companion cube cookie cutters are just ingenious. All descriptions and pricing information courtesy of ThinkGeek.
-- Aperture Laboratories Shower Curtain ($19.99) -- At long last, fans of Aperture Laboratories can put their hands on the product that started it all: military-grade shower curtains. ThinkGeek presents gamers with their very own Aperture Science shower curtain to transform their bathroom into a test chamber.
-- Portal Companion Cube Cookie Jar ($29.99) -- A replica of the Weighted Companion Cube that makes a prominent appearance as an inanimate, but lovable, puzzle solving device in the original Portal.
-- Portal Cookie Cutters ($19.99) -- Of course, a cookie jar without cookies is like an empty test chamber in your soul. So fill up your new Companion Cube Cookie Jar with delicious treats inspired by the "warning signs" featured in the game. The Portal Cookie Cutters feature an all metal construction and come in a collectible Companion Cube tin.
-- Portal Bookends ($29.99) -- 4”x5” solid metal bookends to maintain the vertical orientation your impressive collection of science textbooks. One end shows the Portal test subject icon entering through an orange entry portal, while the other end shows him exiting through a blue exit portal.
