If your time-travelling hunting expeditions have netted you a fortune in apatosaurus ambergris, feel free to pick up one of these ornamental “Unnatural Selector Ray-Blunderbuses” from none other than Weta Workshop, New Zealand’s most famous prop house. They’re only making 50 — and the least expensive number edition is $4,500. Everything works…except the ray.

@#2Anon: Almost as stupid as your comment*!
*nowhere near as stupid as your comment.
Talk about a dream job – when you’re not making props for big budget Hollywood movies, you can do your own thing and sell a couple to pay the days wages.
They’d be even better with a amplifier and sound chip playing the “heat ray” effect from the 1953 War Of The Worlds movie.
These were on display at San Diego Comic Con, beautiful things. Heavy, solid, and most surprising, functional*!
