You can make your own PotatOS with ThinkGeek’s Portal 2 Science Kit, but if you can’t get your hands on an actual potato, the geeky store has another option for you. This officially licensed plush replica of GLaDOS’ tuberous incarnation lights up and plays 10 audio clips from Portal 2.

If you’re a fan of the video game Portal 2, ThinkGeek has a new USB powered toy just in time for the holiday shopping season that you will love. The USB gadget is called the Portal 2 Sentry Turret USB Desk Defender.

If you’ve ever played the video game Portal 2, you surely remember the floating robotic orb or personality core known as Wheatley. If you’re a fan of Wheatley, you will certainly appreciate this. An unnamed tech working at NASA has etched a likeness of Wheatley with the phrase “In spaaaaaaace!” underneath the likeness on the side of a component that actually went into space.

…nor does it come with Valve’s approval, because this 7″ replica was made by sculptor and toymaker Victor Creed Chris Hooton aka Sabretooth. Don’t worry, unlike the real Wheatley this toy is not power hungry. Give him three AA batteries and he’ll serve you well.

Ever drink too much and feel like you’ve gone through a portal? Yeah, I think we’ve all been there. So your alcoholic beverages might as well look the part. This drink is made to look like the the two colored portals from the amazing game Portal 2.

If you’re still trying to figure out what to buy me for Christmas, I just found it. The guys at ThinkGeek continue to rock out the awesome Portal 2 inspired merch with this…

If you are a fan of the Portal series, you will be very familiar with the turrets that hang around trying to kill you. ThinkGeek has a new plush turret that talks to you and looks like the real thing – if it were soft and squishy.

This officially licensed portrait of Portal 2’s Aperture Science CEO isn’t just a bunch of ink on paper. It has been enhanced by science! It will blast one of 13 embedded quotes from Cave Johnson when it detects movement or when you touch the plaque at the bottom of the portrait.

When life gives you lemons, make a flaming drink. This geeky cocktail engineered by the Insatiable Geek will surely earn the approval of Aperture Science’s CEO. Or not. The man wanted something that could burn a house down after all.

Prop maker/Flickr member/likely Aperture Science engineer Chris Myles – who also made these Portal 2 Personality Cores – has brought Cave Johnson’s absurd metaphor to life, although the Aperture Science CEO will be disappointed when he finds out that these grenades are not only made of fake lemons, they’re also not lethal.

With the foundation set by the original game, Portal 2 entertains fans not just by providing them with more puzzles to solve, but also by building on its mythos, and that involves fleshing out characters and creating new and memorable ones.

Items referencing companion cubes, defective turrets, ATLAS, P-body, GLaDOS, even Wheatley himself are far too obvious for those who want to be members of the Portal 2 insider’s club. This piece of jewelry is a much more subtle choice for the discerning Portal 2 fan.
