In today’s installment of D23’s Disney Geek, a first look was offered of one of the highly-anticipated collectibles to be released at the 2011 D23 Expo in August: the Tronorail.

The new monorail toy is based off of the promotionally-wrapped Tron: Legacy monorail that’s been traveling around Walt Disney World for more than a year. And the toy version appears to be a must-have for any Tron fan:
