From LoveToKnow Sunglasses

If there's one word to sum up those famous Chronicles of Riddick goggles, it's black. Two more words: sexy and mysterious. What's their story and how can you incorporate them into your life? First, decide why they appeal to you and what you want to do with them. Then decide whether you want to hunt a pair down or make them yourself. It all depends on why you want them and how you plan to use them.

The Appeal of Chronicles of Riddick Goggles

First of all, the Chronicles of Riddick movie has a huge fan base as it is in both the science fiction and action categories. Then there is Vin Diesel himself—powerful, strong, and demanding attention. It's easy to see the appeal of both the movie and the man, and therefore the black goggles that play a huge part in the movie, protecting Riddick's eyes from the light. If you plan to be Riddick for a costume event, you can't do it well without the goggles.

Wear Them or Just Collect Them

There are some people out there who just love to collect movie memorabilia. While it will be hard to get your hands on the ones that Vin Diesel actually wore in the movie, it will be considerably easier to find a replica pair of Riddick goggles. You could even attempt to make your own if you're thrifty and enjoy crafts.

Those who prefer to make their own may be planning to wear them as part of a costume more than they want them just for collection purposes. Cosplay fans may be especially interested in finding an inexpensive lookalike or finding instructions for making their own pair from a pair of goggles and black dye. If you're not into Cosplay but you do like a powerful and sexy Halloween costume every year or every couple of years, you may still be interested in where to acquire your own pair or how to design your own. Whether you shave your head or not to go with the look is entirely up to you!

Buying a Pair

You can find Chronicles of Riddick goggles at Reel World Props. Expect to pay around $130.00. They are made from rubber and have 100 percent UV protection. The listing claims that these are some of the absolute best replicas available. To really amp up your costume, you could purchase mirrored Riddick contact lenses, too.

You can also find them on eBay from time to time for much, much less. Sometimes as low as $30.00. Keep in mind that you may not always be able to find a replica pair there as stock is constantly shifting on the site. Also, remember to check the seller's feedback.

You could take your cue from Random Soul on Deviant Art. He made his own Riddick goggles with dye, glue, leather, and lenses from a random pair of inexpensive sunglasses. If you're handy, you may want to read over the paragraph he offered on how he did it. Perhaps you could make your own pair.

The Bottom Line

No matter what your reason for looking for Chronicles of Riddick goggles, there are a few sites online where you can purchase a pair of replicas. If you like to make things for yourself, you can follow the guidelines given by those who have already made some. Check out the images to check out the details. Even though there are no "authentic" goggles readily available, that doesn't mean you can't have a pair to keep in your home as a tribute to your favorite movie or a pair to wear when you dress up for a sci-fi/fantasy convention or even for Halloween.
