Each week we take a close look at a comic book collectible. That means taking it out of the package. This week we took a trip to the Fourth World to get our hands on the New Gods Mother Box Prop Replica from DC Collectibles.
What is a Mother Box? They are basically little supercomputers that are alive. They can do a lot of things for the New Gods and are primarily used for transporting individuals via a Boom Tube.
We figured the best way to really show off how it looks and what it does is by sharing this video with you. It's not just a replica, it actually works.

Now that you've watched the video, you've seen how it works. It's a good sized replica The lights and sound are really cool. A lot of detail was put in on each side. It also looks like it's seen some action with a simulated distressed looked.
You don't have to worry about replacing the battery. It is rechargeable via a USB chord.
There is just one simple button on the top to start up the light and sound show. There are three different modes and it will continue going until you click over to the next. Eventually you'll get it to shut off.
You'll get a better look at what it looks like on in the video. Here's a couple attempts at taking pics of it in action.
It is a very cool replica. It will ship later this month from DC Collectibles. You can pre-order it HERE. The cost is $59.95. It's not just a plain old replica. There's a nice heft to it and the lights and sound really make it shine. Even when it's not on, it will look great sitting on your desk or shelf.
Let us know what you thought of this and our video. Can you resist getting one for yourself? We'll have another item featured next time.
