    Default Officially Licensed T-virus/Anti-virus Vials Up For Preorder

    These film prop replicas are available for pre-orders now from the Hollywood Collectible Group website and will be released sometime early next year. Only 750 are being made, which is reflected in the hefty price of $199.95, but you never know when you'll need to break them open!
    Note: anti-virus vials will not work if you exist in the Dead Rising universe.
    For the first time ever an officially licensed T-Virus and Anti-Virus from Resident evil are available!

    Each vial measures just over 5” long and is an accurate replica of this quintessential Resident Evil prop. Constructed from aluminum and Plexiglas, each vial has internal LED’s so that they can be independently illuminated.

    They come complete with an Umbrella Corporation themed display base.

    A must for any Resident Evil fan!

    Not only is it overpriced, but it is simply not worth it. THIS is what you call a total waste of money.

    They look fucking cool (anything thats blue and green goes together) but I don't think I will buy these for $200. Maybe drop the price to like...$100 and I'll think about it.

    I wouldn't buy this shit if it was 25 bucks at Toys R Us, let alone that ludicrous price tag they put on it.

    I think these are very appealing for movie collectors, but I still don't picture vials of the T-Virus to look like this. It feels too Anderson-esque in that overly glamorized, Hollywood fashion. If I'm going to be infected by the T-Virus, hit me up with a simple syringe.

    ^ Agreed. Before those crap movies came out, I had a completely different idea of what the viruses looked like. Now my subconscious has been infected(lolz) with the image of that crap above. Completely overly-stylized. Simplicity would've been nice.

    Wow, talk about a cheap looking piece of plastic. Like the others said this is highly over price and it looks like shit. $200.000 for a glass tube filled with food colored liquid?

    Totally overpriced, there's a guy over on eBay that makes the film-style ones as well as the game ones and sells them around $25 or less depending.

    Good for film collectors but certainly too late, though that's just ridiculous pricing considering that just about anyone can make those.

    So what you're trying to tell me is that CAPCOM is selling colored tubing in another glass or plastic tube in a stand. AND they want $200.

    Are these people out of the fucking minds?

    I guess Capcom thinks there must be 750 basement dwellers somewhere out there who would actually buy this. Even at that price.

    But then again, I'm not into collecting stuff. I just play the games.

    CAPCOM aren't selling them. You should probably look at that first.

    Secondly, yeah, they're overpriced. But they're not shitty and/or plastic. I am fairly certain these are very high quality replicas with inbuilt LEDs on each tube, so each one can illuminate whenever you want them to.

    But yeah. Still a bit too expensive for me.

    Yeah, I have to agree that these are nothing short of terrible looking. I will admit that I own some rather overpriced Resident Evil items (namely three of the Hot Toys figures), but I wouldn't pay $200 for that. Maybe...MAYBE...If they looked exactly like the ones in the movie. To me, those did look pretty cool, but these just look like some amateur sculptor's 1/25 replica.

    So yeah, Capcom can keep these.

    Kinda late with these imo. If they came out around the time of the first movie they would have been really neat, but now? I guess they must be used a lot in the upcoming film or something.

    While I kind of like the desing of the virus "cases" of the movies (odd, since I despise anything related with them), oldschool RE2 is so full of win in the virus stash department.

    The sad part is, someone will likely buy them. Personally, I think it should've looked like it did in RE2 and RE3, i.e. a simple glass tube with a purple liquid filling it, not in some spiral tube like that.

    This was made for the purpose of an outbreak!

    Whoever has lost their minds to drop $200 on one of these is sure to cause the outbreak
    for the same state of mind they had went going through with this transaction, lol. xD

    Seriously now, who's fucking dumb enough to buy these aside from your average
    "pot of gold" owners?

    I suppose half the point of them is that they're limited edition. That always inflates something's price horribly.
