Five Unusual Ready Player One Collectibles You Should Add To Your Collection
When a big movie hits the big screen you can bet your last lucky quarter that there is a whole range of merchandise up for sale associated with the movie. Ready Player One is no exception and since watching the movie I'm eager to get my hands on some of the more unusual merchandise out there. It's easy to find a poster, book, key-ring or pin badge but I like to delve a little deeper and find that one item that in years to come fans are going to think "that was really for sale?"So here are five items that I think would be a real good addition to your collection and if you're thinking of starting a Ready Player One collection these items will really kick it off.

| Ready Player One Gunter Life Fragrance |
How about adding a little fragrance to your collection? This Ready Player One Gunter Life Fragrance is exclusive to Hot Topic and comes in at $22.90. Apparently it has notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt and sage. I have no idea what an ambrette seed is but at least the makers didn't go with the fragrance of eggs, easter ones at that.

| Ready Player One Key Bath Bomb Set |
I'm a sucker for bathroom collectibles. I still have my vintage C3P0 and R2D2 soaps, sealed of course. These Ready Player One bath bombs made me smile when I came across them. They come in three fragrances. Peppermint, honey & lavender and are shaped in the style of the Copper, Jade & Crystal Keys. I would have to buy two of these. One for my collection and the other to see my bath explode like the Stacks. Too soon?

| Art3mis Eyeshadow Palette |
This is a must for anyone thinking of starting a Ready Player One collection. Not only is this off the scale when it comes to unusual collectibles but just take a look at that cover. That is oozing retro goodness. Featuring Art3mis on the cover with a classic 80's design the eyeshadows inside come in nine different colours. Of course they are neon like bright matte teal "New Wave," in-your-face matte lime "Synergy," and sparkly yellow "Hi Fidelity." Perfect for a dance off while flying.

| Parzival and Art3mis Best Friends Cord Bracelet Set |
Bracelets are not that unusual but a set featuring the names of the two main characters from Ready Player One and a gate charm included certainly is. A nice and inexpensive collectible.

| Funko Ready Player One Copper Jade & Crystal Key Vinyl Collectible Set. |
Yes, they are Funko. I know what you're thinking, these are not that collectible if they're from a well known company such as Funko. Believe me Funko stuff can still become collectible and I have a feeling these keys will be one of them. Don't open the packaging, just have them on display and come back to them in a few years time to see if the value has gone up. I have a feeling they will
