I can imagine that thing is going to be pretty pricey. I had bought the $4.99 they were selling at Target, that lights up and makes sounds lol.

[manic-intent.livejournal.com]

It's $149.99 (USD?), yes. :(

Prop replicas are always so much money. :/

gah I can't find it anymore, but I once saw a link to an iphone/itouch wallpaper which is basically the arc reactor's blue glow shape. You turn that on, and then put it under a gray shirt. insta!reactor, movie style. : )

Ah yeah, here is the one I mentioned before. XD http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=820&ST=SO&ID=26529&PG=1

I actually think that picture is already on the comm (not that it doesn't deserve to shown off again to the newer crowd though, haha).

Yup, here it is! akatsukiayako  atcually post that picture here (http://community.livejournal.com/cap_ironman/52226.html).

In other news, if I had money, I'd buy that reactor $150 or not because it's just awesome. Over expernsive sure, but hey, you can take it off the stand and just carry around Tony Stark's pretend heart! Now if only they would make one what could strap on to your chest so you yourself could have a glowing chest piece.

ahh... ^^;; it cropped up during random browsing of other materials on ygallery on the recent update sidebar, so I thought it was recent. :(

yeah I was seriously considering purchasing the reactor (though it's sold out atm!). :/

[viva-la-yaoi.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I just thought you might want to know. And hey, it might have been new to y-gallery and just not new to here.

It's things like that reactor that make me wish I had enough money to buy frivolous things.
