Forbidden Planet fans will love this retro and stylish night light which features the movie poster all lit up. It has a great modern/industrial design.
This night light will geek up any room instantly and remind you of one of Sci-Fi’s all time classics. It looks really amazing lit up. This would be perfect for my desk.
If you are planning a trip to Altair IV, pack a blaster. Forbidden Planet is a sci-fi classic. I don’t need to tell you that. But if you have never seen the film, you are really missing out. This Forbidden Planet Blaster 1:1 Scale Prop Replica is a full size prop replica of the sidearm carried by the United Planets crew. It looks like they paid attention to every detail.
This blaster has a metal look and is made of resin with a custom acrylic nose cone. When you pull the trigger the cone lights up just like it did on screen. It comes with a custom display base and is limited to just 600 pieces worldwide. This one is going to look great on display.
You may not be aware, but back in 1995, Irvin Kershner tried to make a remake of Forbidden Planet. Sadly, the project never happened, but Ralph McQuarrie, John Eaves, Mark McCreery, Syd Mead, and Stan Winston were already doing some work on it. We can take a look at McQuarrie and Mead’s work here.
The McQuarrie concept art has immense sets where the humans are like ants and the Mead art shows off the technology that we would have seen. From what we can see here, this would have been quite the epic. We can only dream about how amazing this stuff would have looked on screen.
