2000AD licensed replica of the Search/Destroy agent's best friend - the mighty Electronux!
Each individually numbered 'nux authentically vibrates and hums when gripped to give an powerful electrically charged feel!
When off to hunt down the scum of the Universe don't leave home without one!!
This weapon is vacuformed out of strong ABS plastic and should give a solid 10 hours of constant use
The estimated price for the Electronux is ?40 plus ?5 p&p within the UK. Please send me an email if you want to buy one when they become available.
Cheers,
Wake

should give a solid 10 hours of constant use
Does this mean 10 hours per set of batteries or that the batteries are non-replaceable and once they've gone, they've gone?

The lawgiver is based on Cliff Robinson's covers. It will still be pretty chunky I think. I'm hoping to receive the prototype (minus a few details) within the next week so I can take it to Rebellion for approval. However, I don't want to show any photos until the prototype is finished.

The batteries will be non-replaceable because it would be quite a lot of extra hassle to make an openable battery compartment and the resulting 'nux wouldn't look as good. My guess is that 10 hours should be more than enough for most adult fans.

?45 seems an awful lot of money for a lump of plastic that vibrates for ten hours...

So for just under ?200, you to can stand in front of the mirror, Westinghouse blaster in one hand, vibrating plastic humming knuckle duster on the other shouting "number 3 cartridge!"
Is anyone going to buy one of these?

I think I'll be putting the money towards a new washing machine, which I could (if I particularly wanted to) stand in front of and shout "Number 3 cycle!"

Why not just forget about the vibration gubbins altogether and flog it for a fiver.
Why does it have to vibrate any way, it's an electronux not a vibratonux.

Well, you could....for about 10 hours. After that, you'll just have to use your imagination a bit more.

I dont see why you cant have a mild electric shock.
I mean you can buy a whole stupid fucking game based on giving electric shocks.
Oh and how we laughed when Cyrils pacemaker gave out. Ahaha.

But you should probably estimate about $1.85 per pound to take into account currency conversion - but not PayPal fees. I can accept US$ money orders but the easiest and quickest method would be to upload funds to your PayPal account and then pay my personal (feeless) PayPal account.

The electronux is now available. The final price is ?40 including postage and PayPal fees within the UK or Europe, or ?42.50 for the rest of the world.
A Strontium Dog helmet is in the pipeline and looking very nice so far, and the Westinghouse should also be available soon.

You can see a photo of the plaster cast and a lift off of one half in the photos section of the Termight Replicas Yahoo group. Please don't repost these images elsewhere. I'd like to keep 'work in progress' photos exclusive to Termight Replicas group members.

Helmet?? ****!!!
Very nice that going by the pic.
Any chance of a Judges helmet? That is probably one of the things I've wanted the most.
Not cheap though I bet.
