Trekkies may remember the dermal regenerator that Dr Beverley Crusher used to heal a wound on Commander Riker’s face in Star Trek: The Next Generation. In collaboration with Houston-based GRoK Technologies, NASA is now developing two similar handheld gadgets – BioReplicates and Scionic – that could soon be used by astronauts on the International Space Station.

Based on a key component of Breaking Bad's final season, Elite Packaging working with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and the show’s creator, Vince Gilligan designed and manufactured this iconic brand replica for one of home entertainment’s most popular shows.

The barrel consists of six custom acrylic disc holder sets (15 disc by seasons). The barrel's removable top lid holds an added bonus disc. There's also a compressed collectable 'Los Pollos Hermanos' apron, a commemorative challenge coin and a 16 page mini booklet that sits in the barrel's swinging door. 

You can watch the video of show creator, Vince Gilligan talking about the content of the set below

The Barrel itself is ABS Injection-molded plastic with a soft touch coating on the inner disk holder shelving unit and on the top lid’s inner cavity to prevent any scratching on the disc holders or bonus discs. There is hand-painted trim on the top removable lid and a molded embossed/debossed branded logo on the barrel’s front with the iconic “BR/BA” logo. 

Setting a precedent in the disc-storage media realm, the disc holders are made from clear, molded acrylic along with a set of three magnets on each panel to form a secure stack within each set.

Do you recognize these items from the show?

If a regular sit-on-the-floor steel bowl for your furry friend just won’t work with your décor, you might be a little too concerned with details. That said, hello, nice to meet you, please sit down and join the club; your design obsessive tendencies are welcomed here. The Y.bowl from Doca Pet (literally) elevates the common steel bowl to a considered receptacle for your pets, and with different sizes and heights, you’re able to pick the perfect size. There’s also a fair bit of other similarly modern designs, Squaremeal being my second favorite.
