You Can Now Own a Real Working Replica of Snake’s ‘Escape from New York’ Watch, Up for Pre-Order!
You may recall, back in 2016, that the Ridgewood Watch Company made headlines with their Kickstarter campaign for the “Lifeclock One,” a fully operational replica of the countdown watch that Kurt Russell wears as Snake Plissken in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York. Back then, the campaign fell short of its goal, but two years later, the watch is now reality!
Now up for pre-order through Sideshow Collectibles, the Lifeclock One smartwatch from Ridgewood is selling for $399, and it has been designed not just to match the Escape from New York prop as closely as possible, but with added functionality, comfort, durability, and styling so that it can actually be worn and, well, used as a watch, rather than merely displayed.
Sideshow details, “The Lifeclock one features a countdown, 22:59’:59” (Hartford Summit configuration only), standard and military time options, the ability to program up to 8 world clocks, display the date in 1 of 5 formats, stopwatch, 18 display animations and 8 character animations. With the app you can access the smartphone camera shutter release, push notifications of incoming and missed calls, voicemails, SMS & iMessage, app notifications (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more to come). The activity monitor tracks steps independent of your smartphone. A customizable daily alarm is also included.”
These are expected to ship before the end of the year. Grab yours from Sideshow today!

Mattel Releasing Gozer from ‘Ghostbusters’ Monster High Doll Featuring Two Tiny Terror Dogs
After last week’s tease, Mattel has now fully revealed their Ghostbusters Monster High doll based on the villain known as Gozer, and it goes up for grabs starting today (June 8).
Pre-orders for the Gozer Monster High doll will begin for Fang Club Members only at 12pm ET on Monday, June 8, 2026, with the dolls shipping on or before August 21.
These limited edition “Skullector” dolls typically sell out lightning fast, so you’ll want to make sure a) you’re a Fang Club member and b) you’re available at 12pm ET today.
Mattel previews, “Who you gonna call when an ancient otherworldly demon comes to wreak havoc in New York City? We’re celebrating Ghostbusters Day with a Monster High homage to the hit 1984 film’s central villain, Gozer. The shapeshifter can take many forms, including that of a skyscraper-sized marshmallow man, but we styled her after her screamtastic original look, complete with bubble-studded bodysuit and powerful purple lightning blasts. With her two Terror Dogs by her side, she’s a formidable opponent for the legendary spirit-slaying squad.”
The Monster High x Ghostbusters Gozer doll features…
- 10.5 inches tall with 11 points of articulation
- Gozer wears a soft white lace bodysuit with 3D bubble texture throughout, mimicking her film look
- Removable purple lightning wrist gauntlets place her in the midst of battle
- Bubble shoes feature Stay Puft and Gozer’s Temple Easter egg heels
- Menacing red eyes, movie-inspired face sculpt and paint, and long pearl white nails complete the villainous visage
- Gozer comes with mini Zuul and Vinz Clortho Terror Dogs
- Premium display packaging depicts Gozer standing on the Temple steps, ready for battle with the Ghostbusters
- Includes Certificate of Authenticity
You’ll be able to pre-order yours only through Mattel Creations for $70.
