- So this is the Alien: Covenant set,
here at YouTube space, LA.
We're gonna be taking a look at
some of the best sci-fi gear that you can buy
and I do have some help today.
Let me introduce to you, my friend Rachel, from Snarled.
- Hey Andru.
- What's up, how you doing? Isn't this crazy?
- So cool.
- This is so cool.
- Oh my God.
- All right, so as I said, Rachel from Snarled.
Tell people who you are, tell my audience who you are,
just in case they don't know.
- Well, my name is Rachel, from Snarled.
I do a show called Dark Five on Snarled,
which is horror and true crime and anything macabre,
aliens, love aliens, clearly.
- [Andru] It's appropriate for you here.
- This is my home, I honestly walked in
and I felt like I live here.
- Okay.
- Yeah, these are all my babies, my children.
- And by the way, you and I did also do another video,
here on the set, taking a look at some horror-themed stuff.
- Yeah, I really put Andru through it.
- Yeah, so link in the description down below
and I'll also put a card up here somewhere
so you can check that video out.
But, let's get started here, this is some of
the best sci-fi gear that you can buy.
The reason we did sci-fi and horror is because
we're on the set of Alien: Covenant
and Alien, that whole franchise, sometimes,
to me at least, sometimes they're horror movies
and then some of the other ones
are like sci-fi and not as scary.
(tense music)
(alien burbling)
(person screams)
Let's get started, let's jump right into it.
I wanted to start off with something Alien-themed
and that's this right here.
You mentioned gaming, slay tricks, et cetera.
If you've never played Alien: Isolation,
this is one of the scariest game experiences ...
- [Rachel] It's too scary, honestly.
- That you can have.
It is too scary, but it's fun.
- Yeah, I can't play it at night.
(Andru laughs)
- Now here's the thing, this game
came out a couple years ago, so you can actually
buy it for $14.99 right now brand new,
which means used it's even cheaper.
So it's definitely worth your money.
Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game,
set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger.
15 years after the events of Alien,
Ellen Ripley's daughter, Amanda,
enters a desperate battle for survival,
on a mission to unravel the truth
behind her mother's disappearance.
As Amanda, you will navigate through
an increasingly volatile world
as you find yourself confronted on all sides
by a panicked, desperate population
and an unpredictable, ruthless alien.
- Oh no.
- Yeah, what do you think?
- I'm scared of aliens.
Do you think that if an alien were to abduct you ...
- [Andru] Yeah?
- You would tell anybody, or would you just keep it inside?
- How do you not tell somebody?
- 'Cause everyone calls you crazy.
- Right, but how do you just say,
you know what, people are gonna think I'm crazy,
I'm just gonna keep this to myself.
The most craziest experience ...
- [Rachel] Yeah.
- Probably that an earthling can ever have,
I'm just gonna not tell anybody.
- If you're a sane person, and you say,
"Listen, I know how this sounds, but 10 out of 10,
"just got abducted by an alien."
(Rachel laughs)
- Right, 10, 10 would do again.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Would abduct again.
All right, let's move on to the next item that we have here.
Are you a fan of Star Trek?
- Yeah.
- Star Trek.
- Yeah!
- All right, so check this out.
This right here is a Communicator
that is a replica from the original Star Trek series.
But it Bluetooth connects to your phone.
Listen to music on it,
but you can also talk to people on it.
You got a phone call?
(three quick chirps)
What's up, hello?
- Can I call you?
- [Robot voice] Waiting for Bluetooth connection.
- Okay.
(marimba ringtone)
- The sound is coming from here, can you hear that?
All right, okay, ready, I'm gonna answer it.
(four quick chirps)
Scotty, can you hear me?
- [Rachel] Yeah.
- Oh, there it is!
Okay, can you beam me up?
(Rachel buzzes and laughs)
There's a speaker right here, and there's two buttons,
and I think that's pretty much it.
So it's just a speaker--
Stop it, you're scaring me, goodbye.
- That's the coolest thing and I want it.
- That hung up, so by closing it, it hung up.
- It's a true flip phone.
- The Star Trek: The Original Series Bluetooth Communicator
is a fully-working Bluetooth telephone handset
that turns your cellphone into a Starfleet Communicator.
It's easy to pair with any Bluetooth device,
and it has an authentic flip to answer action.
You can pick this one up for $129.
Would you buy that?
129.
- I have literally $13.
- Okay, so that's a hard no.
- Yeah, but I bet I could get somebody to buy it for me.
- Okay, okay.
Okay, next thing, if you wanna up your game,
right, this is also a Bluetooth device right here.
This is from pretty much one of
my favorite games of all time.
This is the Pip-Boy from Fallout 4.
This is a replica of the Fallout Pip-Boy.
So this is the thing that your character
will wear on his arm that allows you
to see, like, your health,
your maps, the status of everything.
This display right here is real.
So, like, I can change this display
from my stats to showing my inventory to my data.
- It's like the biggest Apple Watch ever.
- Right, it's the best Apple Watch ever.
Map, and then, radio.
This Bluetooths to your phone also,
and you can play music from your phone,
it'll come out of here, and, look at this.
I just open that up ...
Holotape.
It's a USB, so there's actually some content on there.
- You buried the lead with that one!
- There's content on there, I wanted you to discover.
- Oh, I love a practical toy.
- So I can walk around the mall, go to the supermarket.
- You're level three.
- Put my stats on.
The Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Deluxe Bluetooth Edition
allows you to get your own functioning
Pip-Boy Model 3000 MkIV replica
that pairs with your Bluetooth phone or tablet.
You can take calls with your Pip-Boy,
play music through it, or just have
the coolest wristband in the Commonwealth.
It also ships in a Capsule Case-inspired tin,
designed for Vault 111 Deployment.
And the cost of this guy, by the way, is 349 bucks.
349!
- Honey.
- Okay, look what it says, it says,
"Rachel Evans, incoming call," answer.
Hello?
It says "Active call with Rachel Evans,"
and the guy is like picking up the phone and talking.
(reverb)
(Rachel sings into echoing phone)
- I'm gonna hang up, I'm gonna hang up.
I'm going to play music.
- Yes!
(energetic music)
- There it is, there it is.
So you've got your Pip-Boy, you can
listen to music, you can take your calls,
and it just looks freaking cool if you're a gamer fan.
So you don't need batteries for this,
you just charge the internal built-in battery.
This is the stand, so you put it
on the stand, and you just display it in your home.
Next, let's move on to one of the most
popular franchises that's come out more recently.
Guardians of the Galaxy.
First, we have this guy right here.
That is the Baby Groot Finders Keypers edition.
Keypers is spelled K-E-Y-P-E-R-S.
It doesn't move or anything, it's
just like a display piece, but
this right here holds your keys, so it's a key chain.
It's the eyes, they look great.
- Dynamic.
- Yes.
- You guys have similar eyes, you guys
have big brown beautiful eyes.
- Thumbnail.
The Finders Keypers are statues
of your favorite superheroes with a
built-in key chain holder for your keys.
This highly-detailed Baby Groot statue
presents the superhero on a diorama base
that also features the Guardians badge
as a removable key chain.
He measures 10 inches tall
and six inches long, and costs $29.99.
Would you pick that up for $29.99?
- Again, I have $13, but I would accept it gladly as a gift.
- As a gift, okay, so moving on to the next guy we have.
If you don't want something that's
a statue, this guy will dance.
- Dance, baby.
(dance music comes from Baby Groot)
(Rachel gasps)
- Okay, so if you press the button, he dances, right?
That's cool.
- That is cool.
- Baby Groot's awesome, but check this out.
(phone plays hiphop)
He will detect music and dance.
Isn't that cool?
So if you play music, he will dance.
That's the Dancing Baby Groot, he dances to music
if he senses music, or you can just
press the button to make him dance on his own.
So he takes three triple A batteries and he costs $29.99.
- That's a good price for that.
- 30 bucks, 30 bucks for a Dancing Groot.
That's R2-D2, obviously, right?
- Obviously.
- But what he does, is he is, a French Press.
I went to the store, they were like,
"This is probably the coolest thing in here."
That was ThinkGeek, big shout out to Evan
at ThinkGeek, by the way, for helping
me pick some of this stuff out.
But yeah, if you're a coffee lover,
and a French Press lover, I guess,
this R2-D2 French Press is pretty much your best friend.
- I'm a big fan of French Presses.
I used to work at a coffee shop
and I used to French Press
like it was nobody's business.
- [Andru] R2-D2 French Press, $40.
- [Rachel] I'm keeping it.
- 40, you like this one.
Next, this is the Imperial Stormtrooper Helmet.
- [Rachel] Yes!
- And it changes your voice.
When you wear it, and you turn it on,
it's powered by three Triple A batteries,
can you see out of it?
- Oh yeah.
Hello, I'm a Stormtrooper.
(hums James Bond theme song)
- They don't do that.
- Pew, pew, pew, ow, I got shot.
That's what they, they don't say anything,
they just get shot.
I am having fun.
- Let the professional do this.
- Look at me.
It's nice in there, I like it in there.
- Can you breathe?
Okay, I'm going in.
My head is way too big for this.
Is it still on?
Hello?
All right, I need to take you to the king.
- You're the professional?
You just called Darth Vader the king?
- I'm stuck!
(Rachel laughs)
- That's what you deserve.
- Hold up, I'm ...
Okay, that was scary.
Yes, this Stormtrooper helmet
is Collector-grade, they say,
which means, like, it is accurate
to what they wore in the movie.
It's part of the Black Series collection
and it allows you to electronically
change your voice to sound like an Imperial Stormtrooper.
- They wanted to take off
the masks for the movie or something.
I did a video about this, like, four months ago
and I hardly remember, so sorry--
- Let's link it in the description.
- Link in the description!
But they were gonna have them without masks,
the clones and the Stormtroopers,
but they thought it was too sad,
because when they would get shot,
you'd see a face, and you'd go,
"Oh my God, I know that face,"
or "I've seen a face like that,"
or "Oh my God, that person has a family."
But if you put a mask on them,
you can just shoot as many as you want.
- If you want one of those, change your voice, 79 bucks.
Last thing on the list,
we're taking it back to the Aliens franchise.
If you're a fan of Aliens, is this guy right over here.
Now, don't pick him up, he's very ...
I put that thing together.
That is the RFX Alien Warrior.
The alien is brought to life in this
highly-detailed 1/10 scale RFX statue.
The alien warrior creeps forward,
crouching on a specially-designed base
that is modeled on the flooring of the spaceship Sulaco.
(glass shatters)
So it's based on the spaceship
from the Alien movie, and it comes with
that little light right there that's next to it,
that's why it has that blue hue on there,
but when you get this, you have to
actually put it together yourself.
- It's interesting that it's 1/10 the size.
- Right, I was thinking that too,
like, so you're saying it's just like--
- It's kinda small.
- So if you're a collector, and you're
into the Aliens franchise, that's pretty cool
because, number one, you put it together yourself,
which a lot of people like to do,
and number two, it looks pretty realistic.
Like that's probably the thing out of everything
that kind of stands out most as being,
like, oh, what the hell is that?
- It's definitely the spookiest thing.
- But other stuff on the table in case people are wondering.
This is the pathogen.
You do not want to be infected with this.
- So says you.
- Or do you?
- I've been training for this my whole life.
- That was your look at what I think
is some of the best sci-fi gear
you can pick up right now.

I did another video with Rachel.
It's over on her channel, Snarled,
taking a look at some of the more
unique horror items, horror-themed,
macabre items, that she could find,
which are pretty crazy.
- Just trying to freak 'em out.
- Yeah, so, link to that in the description below as well.
Thanks so much for watching, everybody.
As always, I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards, and I'll catch you in the next video.
- Bye.
