Although the film phenomenon known as 'Tron: Legacy' hit the movie scene last year, people still have not gotten over the insane outfits and graphics used; case in point, the EcoLife Box. I can easily see Jeff Bridges' character, Kevin Flynn, reaching over to get a tissue out of this futuristic tissue box when he is reunited with his long-lost son Sam Flynn, played by Garrett Hedlund.
Made out of transparent acrylic, the EcoLife Box rests on a an electroluminescent sheet, which, thanks to internal reflection, gives the edges a Tron-like glow.
Even though the EcoLife Box looks really cool, only the most die-hard 'Tron: Legacy' fan would dish out ¥9,900 (about $120) for their own box. Of course, it could double as a nightlight.
