| There aren't very many Matrix collectibles out there and there are even fewer Twins collectibles, making whatever you happen to find and get a cherished treasure. But what collectibles there are of the Twins, every Twins lover should have at least one of them. Or all of them if you're a die-hard fan of these adorable silver clad ghosts. The following are all of the known collectibles that exist of the Twins. If there are any Twins related collectibles that I just haven�t found yet or that might have been exclusive to your country or wherever you happen to live, and I don�t have them on this list, email me any links and/or pics of them. Also give me any info you may have on them. (Click thumbnails to view a larger picture of an item. Some items do not have larger pictures.) |
| Twins action figures by McFarlane These awesomely detailed figures are a Twins fan's delight. Super rare to find and expensive if you do happen to find them, they're worth any price you may pay for them. Let me tell you, these figures are awesome! If you can find them, I highly recommend them. These were my first pieces to my Twins collection and they still remain special and a personal favorite. I�ve had mine since they were first released in 2003 and I still cannot get over the amount of detail they have. They look so lifelike that you almost expect (and hope!) them to come alive. McFarlane did an outstanding job in capturing the Twins� character and expressions. Two is shown with a saddened or irritated �frown� while One looks a little mischievous. Both look absolutely adorable just like the characters they were taken from. Even though the hype of the Matrix has calmed, these Twins figures still remain the hardest to find of any Matrix collectible out there and their value keeps on rising. On eBay, these figures have seen some high prices, some reaching as much as $99 or more for both figures. It is totally impossible to find these two baddies for any less than $60 apiece. Both Twins come with a signature weapon unique to that particular twin (Two comes with a machinegun, while One comes with his razor). Each twin is correctly sculpted and painted with breath taking detail, from their streaming dreadlocks right down to the rings on their fingers. Regarded as �hard to find as the phantoms themselves�, these figures are a must for any Twins fan, and are highly sought after by everyone. If you love the Twins as much as I do, then you need these figures. My advice is no Twins fan should be without them! |

| The Twins Kubrick figures Kubricks action figures are Japanese versions similar to our Legos, only they don�t come with plastic blocks and are a little bit taller and bigger. Instead they come packaged in their own individual boxes and some collections are secretly random like a pack of cards, meaning you might not get the figure you want and may get duplicates. The only way to really get the whole set or the one you want is to find a store or web site that sells them already opened or sells them where you know what you're going to get when you order. The Matrix set includes the Twins (shown at right) in a cute and chubby �super deformed� style, common to most Japanese art and toys. Unlike the action figures by McFarlane, there is only �one� twin in these figures and if you want both of them you have to buy two of the same one. |
| The Twins Posters There are 3 versions of the Twins �Matrix Reloaded� movie poster. The first one shown at the right is the Matrix Reloaded �teaser� poster, which was displayed and sold before the movie even came to the theater. It shows the Twins with �cut off� faces to make you curious as to who they are. The second version is the original US �full face� of the teaser one, showing the Twins� whole faces. The third and last version is actually one that was displayed in and made for the UK. For safety reasons, the British thought it better that they changed the Twins� razors to machine guns. Again, these are a must for Twins fans! All posters are beautiful and look awesome hanging on your wall. They are perfect for female fans to drool over.;-) |
| The Twins Collectible 'mini' Busts by Gentle Giant To make these limited edition collectible �resin� mini busts; Gentle Giant digitally scanned the actual actors in order to get every detail correct. Let me tell you, these busts are gorgeous! The detailing on them is positively amazing. Everything on them is perfect; right down to the Twins� sparkly diamond studded tiepins. Each bust stands approximately 6.5 inches tall and comes with two interchangeable arms so you can switch between a machinegun and a straight razor (whichever you prefer to have your Twins holding). The weapons do not come out of their hands. To switch weapons/poses you have to switch arms. If you are new to collecting these types of busts, I want to warn you that they are very fragile and are not meant for rough handling! Even though you can switch arms on them, they are not action figures or toys. Each Twin is a limited edition piece of 6000, and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. While I�ve read that their sunglasses come off, it is now unknown whether or not their sunglasses actually do come off. I�m not about to try it on mine for fear of breakage. So if you have them and are unsure too, I advise you not to try it. Just to clear up some loose ends. The Twins busts having arms are the ones that you will get if you buy them from any place. I have finally found out that there is only ONE set of Twins busts instead of two. The busts that have been seen without arms (see pics at right) were early prototypes for the ones with arms and are thus not available for sale. So in short, there is no first and second series of them, as was rumored before. |

| Twins sunglasses So far, there are two different sets of the Twins sunglasses replicas known. One created by Vision and one created by Blinde Design. The Blinde Design glasses (left) are a little more expensive, costing around $225 or more. The Vision glasses (right) stay around $24, and can be bought easily off of the Matrix Store site. To me, and also to my friend who got herself a pair too, the Vision glasses look more like the shades the Twins wear in the movie than the Blinde Design glasses do. The Vision pair has the silver rim around the outside of the lens, while the Blinde ones don�t. |
| Twins Silver Coat from Hot Topic Whoever happens to live near a Hot Topic store might have seen this stunning Twins coat replica. This coat is simply beautiful! I highly recommend it above all other Twins coat replicas if you�re searching for one to complete a costume. It�s made of a shiny slick metallic silver material that feels similar to a raincoat. It's not a 'real' coat, but a costume coat. So I don't recommend wearing it in really cold weather as a standard coat to keep out cold. It�s stunningly accurate to the actual coats worn by the Twins in the movie (unlike other replicas). All that�s missing is the silver trousers, white boots, grey shirt, and white waistcoat and tie. This coat originally retailed for $75. If you wanted to find it now, you may have to search ebay. It's a rare find! |

| Twins Costume When I first saw this costume, I thought it was the most pitiful thing I had ever seen and a disgrace to the Twins. But now that I look at it again, it doesn�t look half bad. They did a pretty good job on it, though I still think I�d rather make up my own costume. The coat and glasses are sold separate from the headpiece and wig, and come in adult sizes only. |
 |
| Twins coat (Gemini Reloaded coat) by Abby Shot The Gemini Reloaded coat is a replica Twins coat created by Abby Shot and retails for about $349. It can be custom made to fit anyone, male or female. It�s pretty cool looking, that is if you can afford to buy one. |

| Japanese Kotobukiya Twins figure This is it, fellow Twins fanatics! Let me tell you, this figure is brilliant! Well worth the money you pay! It�s not exactly 12 inches tall, but it�s still pretty big. Twin Two (the tallest of them both and the twin standing up in the back) stands around 9 or 10 inches at the most. Both Twins are highly detailed, nicely made, very well painted, and are made out of plastic that actually looks resin or ceramic. The Twins look totally lifelike, but at the same time have a hint of Anime to them. The figure comes completely painted and does not need paint or glue. However, there is some assembly required. Both twins are packed separate from their base and will need to be stuck on the base in order for them to stand up. You will need to place Twin One�s razor in his hand too. If you are thinking of getting this figure (or are getting it, or already own it), remember to look for his razor! It comes taped inside the foam they�re packed in and is hard to see. The base of the figure is made of a solid resin and is actually heavier than the figures are. It has soft pads on the bottom and a small plaque on the front that has the �Matrix Reloaded� logo on it. Despite this figure�s high price, it is amazingly beautiful and cool, and worth every penny. It is sure to be a jewel in any Twins fan�s collection. Just to let you know (incase you don�t), even though these figures are made of plastic, they are NOT toys! They are not action figures! This is a limited edition collectible piece that is fragile and will break if roughly handled. It is meant for collectible and display purpose only and is not meant to be played with. Once you assemble this piece, it is best that you leave it be and enjoy it setting on your table, dresser, curio, or wherever else you decide to display it. The Kotobukiya figures aren�t sold just anywhere and are exclusive to Japan. There are, however, a few places online that carries them. You get both Twins together and the figure retails around $136 on up to $186. This piece is a limited edition of 1500! |

| The Twins Special Edition film cel I don�t have too much information on this item, except that it�s a limited edition collectible piece. I found it on a memorabilia site while surfing. If you have any information on this, please email it to me. |

| Twins Photo signed by the Rayments No collection is complete without an autographed photo! So far, there seems to be two different photos that the Rayments sign to give out to fans. Or at least two different ones that I know of and have seen. When I wrote them a letter, they sent me the photo that�s shown on the Reloaded poster. The other one shown at the right (from what I�ve found out) was one that was given out at conventions and can also be ordered from autograph stores online. As with all autographs, you have to be careful when you think of adding one to your collection. If you�re interested in getting a photo signed by the Rayments, I suggest that you write them a letter and get one that way or meet them at a convention and get one from them personally, so that you will know it is indeed �authentic�. I don�t trust autograph stores. Besides, getting one from writing them a letter or from meeting them is more fun and special than buying it. |

| Twins �Villains� cup I finally found this piece for my own personal collection after about a year and a half of hunting. I won it on eBay, so I don�t know too much about it. What I do know of it is that it was given out at AMC theaters with the purchase of an AMC combo, and you also got a free game or movie offer for Blockbuster along with it. Mine came with the original vinyl advertisement that was, I suppose, stuck on the outside of the cup in order to hide which cup you were getting (one cup portrays the villains while the other one portrays the heroes), making it one of those things where you couldn�t choose the cup you wanted but had to hope you got the one you did want. However, the vinyl ad that came with my cup was separate so I�m only speculating that was how it was used. The villains cup shows the Twins, Smith, and Persephone. It stands around 9 inches tall and is made of plastic. It also shows the logos of the companies that are usually linked with The Matrix, such as Village Roadshow Pictures, Warner Brothers, Power Ade, and it also has the AMC theaters logo. This piece seems to be rare to find, and the only place you can find it now would be on eBay. |

| Rare Matrix Reloaded �Bunting� (banner), featuring the Twins This is an unusual item that I ran across and purchased on eBay. At first I had no earthly idea of what this �thing� was, and then, looking closer, I quickly saw that it was a banner of some sort. Of course, seeing the Twins on it, I immediately had to have it. Aside from the Twins, other characters it includes are: Neo, Smith, Morpheus, and Trinity. There are two flags of each character and each flag measures about 12� by 7�, and are made out of a slick poster like paper and are bound together by a black cloth streamer. I don�t have much info on this item aside from what I�ve found out by observing the flags themselves. Each flag says, �Out on DVD & VHS Friday 10th Oct�, which tells me that it was a promo display item used in some store (supposedly in the UK) to advertise when the Matrix Reloaded was coming to DVD and video, and was not sold to the public. It's quite obvious that this was one of those items that after the store was through using it, they threw it out or one of the employees kept it for a memento (that is unless some customer asked to have it first). The banner I have is brand new, never before used and came to me still in its plastic bag. |

| Twins Collectible Button Again, this is an item that I ran across on the UK Ebay. To the best of my knowledge, this button is not an officially licensed Matrix product, and sells for �1.00 ($1.46). Either official or not, I thought it looked cool and thought it was worth adding to this page. I would have bought one, but the seller only sold to UK residents. |

| Twins decorative skin for the PS2 Slim game system These are new to eBay, so there�s a good chance that you can easily find one if you�re interested in owning it. This is a beautiful and unique skin that fits the PS2 �slim� game system only. If you have a regular PS2, then it won�t fit it accurately as there are pieces of it that are specially made to fit the slim. You can try it on a regular PS2 if you want, but it probably will not look right. I personally don�t own a PS2 slim (mine�s the regular PS2), but I had to have this skin to add to my Twins collection. It is very cool and a must have for any Twins fan who does own a PS2 slim and would love to have it decorated in these two handsome ghosts.:-) However, this skin is not exactly what you would call �high quality� so I don�t recommend rough handling of it. As far as I can tell with mine, it�s only a one time use skin so if you get it you may want to decide if you want to use it or just keep it for your collection. The seller says it can be taken off, but it�s not clear if it is reusable or not though. Can be used to protect your game system from knicks and scratches while giving that dull black side a Twins flair! I have not tried placing this skin on my PS2 because my PS2 already has a Matrix code skin on it, plus I don�t want to try it because it�s a piece in my collection that I don�t want to ruin. So if you have any questions about that then I cannot answer them. You will just have to try it yourself. |
| The Twins collectible �10 bank note Ever wonder what the Twins use for money? Well here's a possible answer to your question!:-) This is NOT legal currency, but a unique and humorous collector piece that pictures characters from the Matrix with the Twins being the highlighted theme. It�s really cool and fun to have in your collection. It�s printed on nice paper and looks and feels just like an actual pound note. The middle circle has a picture of Morpheus, Neo, and Trinity and also pictures them in the symbol at the bottom left corner. The Twins are the main focus of the note though, and are shown at the right side with the words, �The Twins, Chief Cashier� beside them. At the top in bold letters it says, �Bank of the Matrix�. Very, very cool and unique. lol! The note itself would look really nice in a frame, that is if you can find a frame to fit it. I'm going to try and find a frame to fit mine so it'll be protected. These bank notes are usually plentiful on eBay and usually go for a couple of dollars, although I don�t know if half of them ever sell. Even though this is not an officially licensed Matrix product, it�s still a good and very unique piece to add to your Twins or Matrix collection that is sure to start an interesting conversation. |
| 8x10 Collectible Glossy Photo of the Twins and Morpheus Something I bought off eBay for my personal collection because it was cheap and I wanted to buy something that had the Twins on it. Plus no one else wanted it so it was just going to go off with no one to give it a good home. This photo is a beautiful piece! I am really glad that I bought it! It can be framed, matted, or used to get an autograph with. I originally got it with plans on using it as a backdrop photo for my Matrix figures that stand in my curio, but now that I have it I am trying to decide whether or not to frame it to hang on my wall. These pics seem to pop up every so often on eBay for as little as $8 and are sold by Foto-Fanatics.com. This photo is very high quality and is clear and crisp and does not show any form of graininess. In fact, it is an actual glossy photo. Very good to drool over. Hehee! If you plan on meeting the Rayments in person or know that you will, this picture would be awesome to have on hand for that occasion. |

| Twins Collectible Porcelain Plate with 24K Gold Rim This plate is absolutely beautiful, enough said. It�s about 9 inches wide (measuring from the inside) and is made out of high grade porcelain, and trimmed with 24K gold. The Twins are richly portrayed in the center of the plate, making it a truly unique collectible for the Twins lover, the Matrix collector, or for the plate collector (Whichever you happen to be, or if you happen to be all three). Even though this is not an officially licensed Matrix item, I still highly recommend it. It�s rich looking, beautiful, and very remarkably made. It is a stunning piece to be displayed in a Twins or Matrix collection. However, as with all collectible plates, it is NOT meant to be used or washed!! It is strictly for collectible purpose only! |
