The iconic first-person shooter Doom is a game that is never out of the spotlight for long. Often the game makes headlines for unusual reasons like the time a Twitter user shared a video of Doom running on a pregnancy test, but other times the focus is on the fandom around the series. For example, Limited Run Games has announced a classic Doom bundle that includes some cool collectibles.
Limited Run Games is no stranger to bringing Doom and Doom-related products to the masses. Just recently, the company announced a physical release of Doom 64, allowing fans who want to rip and tear through the classic game a chance to pick up a physical copy for PS4 or Nintendo Switch.
This time around, the collectible Doom merchandise featured in the “Classic DOOM Helmet Collector’s Bundle” includes a 13 x 14 x 11.4 in. wearable replica of the Doom Slayer helmet, as well as a Doom enamel pin in the shape of a floppy disc, and a print of the eye-catching box art from the original game. The centerpiece of this $139.99 USD bundle is clearly the helmet which, for a video game collectible, looks to be of pretty solid quality. It includes battle-worn scuffs and a nice patina, giving it a well-used look.
For a 17-year-old game, it is impressive that interest in Doom has remained as high as it has. Fans continue to dig into the game to discover secrets and only recently did a fan discover the source of Doom‘s sound effects. The unusual enemy screams were created by re-pitching sound effects found in fairly generic, easily sourced sound effect packs.
Whether it is sound effect analysis, running the game on just about anything, or pairing Doom with Fall Guys in a mod, the franchise clearly has a devoted fanbase. These same fans quickly snapped up vinyl copies of the original soundtrack (also produced by Limited Run), so it is likely these helmets will sell quickly, especially as there will only be 4,000 made.
With a Nintendo Switch port of Doom Eternal very close and DLC set to release later this year, there is plenty to look forward to for Doom fans.
