NECA has unveiled a second Portal 2 device that will be coming soon. The second versions is P-Body’s Portal Device.
The NEW Portal Replica Is Coming
Time has flown by since we announced our partnership with Valve one year ago. With the release of the Portal device replica things have hit a boiling point – and this is just the beginning! We had high expectations for the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, and thanks to the support of the Portal community around the world, these expectations were greatly exceeded.
Presenting P-body’s Portal Device
With Great Demand, Comes Great Responsibility
Over the last few weeks, we have received a large influx of feedback from the community. A significant portion of this feedback were angry comments from community members who did not have an opportunity to purchase the Portal gun. Receiving angry comments from customers is a situation we do not want to be in, and take very seriously here at NECA. To address this feedback, we are producing another 5,000 units of P-body’s Portal Device, and we’ll do our best to make sure it reaches those who were not able to purchase the original replica
If you are considering spending an absurd amount of money on eBay, we ask for just a little more patience. Next week, as we have done with the Portal device replica, we will announce approved retailers who will take pre orders.
TL;DR: Details for the 1st Co-op Edition
– New Portal Device replica based on P-body’s Aperture Handheld Portal Device
– 5000 units will be made
– Lights are Orange and Red
– Replica shell features yellow racing stripes
– Sounds and trigger action will remain the same as the original Portal device
– Approved retailers will be announced next week

Portal 2 P-Body's Portal Device Replica
It's cool that they are doing another release, but their whole attitude of "approved retailers" during the first release really soured my to NECA as a whole.
Not sure if I really want to support them at this point. Though I admit, it is tempting to try for this one.
Same. I'm tempted, but I don't want to support that kind of attitude. Plus I don't like P-body's portal gun. I would've prefered a second run of regular portal guns.
I must have missed the boat on the "approved retailers" business from the first Portal release. If you're in the business to sell products, why in the world would you want to deny someone who would be willing to buy from you?
That's like a drug dealer saying "Nah, man. I ain't sellin' to ya, 'cuz then I'd make money'n I ain't no punk-ass little bitches like 'Brah and Matty. Cuz I gots ta keep it realz, yo."
....yeah and I don't like the P-Body design all that much either. I'd much rather Valve partner with Hasbro and put out a Rubik's Companion Cube.
