Affiliate Link – District 9 Exosuit Statue
I’ll admit that the movie was surprisingly good, but not so good that I’m gonna drop $600 on this District 9 Exosuit Statue* that’s now up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. It looks impressive, but the best I can hope for is that someone out there who orders one snaps a lot of shots so that those of us who aren’t ready to buy one can still get a much closer look at the statue.
Prize item in Nigerian crimelord and gun runner Obesandjo’s stash of alien weaponry, the alien exosuit provides Wikus van der Merwe with a much needed advantage in the epic final battle against Koobus and his Reaction Force troops. Designed for the District 9 movie by Weta Designer Greg Broadmore, this awesome piece of equipment is fully featured for serious battle in alien worlds. It sports an array of weapons and communications systems, most of which are beyond what human scientists can fathom, let alone replicate. Look closely and you will see not only the Arc Generator, but also the Assault Rifle mounted to the exterior of this massive exoskeletal power suit. This is a tank with arms and legs – mess with it at your peril. Modeled with fanatical attention to detail by Weta Senior Modelmaker David Tremont and art directed by Greg Broadmore, this almost 12-inch piece has been created by the very same artists and craftsmen who worked on the District 9 movie.
