The Rayguns: Dr Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators, are wave weapons of various capability and application.

From the all round military durability of the Goliathon 83 which can dissolve 7/9ths of an African Elephant in 10 earth seconds to the elegantly futuristic style of the F.M.O.M. Wave Disrupter Gun that issues a conical emission of inverted aether particles, capable of warping and collapsing the very fabric of space (and thereby disintegrating the target subject), these Rayguns are sure to meet the requirements of any aspiring adventurer or explorer.

Each of these initial three Rayguns will retail at US $690.00 (+ tax) / NZ $1165.00 (incl GST) and will be available for sale, one Raygun per month during June, July and August.

These weapons are but a start to a continuing series of wave weapons, ingenius contraptions and objects of art which will be revealed in due course.

Keep your eyes and spies alert for a sampling of these devices in the form of 'Doctor Grordbort's Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory', a catalogue and illustrated journal due to be published in short order.

Presented in travelling duelling cases which double as display stands, bespangled in fine detail with various (most likely quite dangerous) moving parts, these wave weapons are the perfect ornament for a gentleman's study or a deterring centerpiece for a lady's powder room or chiffonier.

This impressive line kicks off with a series of 3 Rayguns; the MANMELTER 3600ZX, the GOLIATHON 83and the F.M.O.M. INDUSTRIES Wave Disrupter Gun (all wondrous contraptions) which will be made available to you in extremely limited quantities.

The guns will be limited edition pieces. There will be only 500 of each gun made worldwide, all of which will be handcrafted and made out of metal with some glass parts. Every Raygun comes with its own moon-velvet lined pressed tin case, Certificate of Authenticity and an assortment of implements, canisters and crafting tools. Not only that, these robust weapons are hefty ? with each gun weighing in at over 7 pounds these are no light investment.

Since the guns were revealed in the Earths future via chronographic time manipulation at the 2006 San Diego Comic Convention, the Rayguns have exploded onto the electric-web of the world, featured in collectors Christmas and Birthday wish lists alike. They have also been featured on International Directory BoingBoing.net and Gizmodo.com, who dubbed the Rayguns "your weapon of choice ? a Raygun that'll blast away giant monkeys ? or evil wizard dudes".

These futurelings clearly haven't read their histories properly and didn't note that the Wizards uprising was quelled in the century preceding the foundation of Doctor Grordbort's Laboratories.

Each Raygun retails at US $690.00 (+ tax) and ships world wide.
