    Aug 18, 2012 - new "World Convention" version of the Tomenosuke PRO Blade Runner Blaster #1

    This seemed like news people would want to know about so I made it its own thread.

    New "World Convention" version of the Tomenosuke PRO in the works!

    Price in yen is 84,000, which converts to about $1,056.

    As to how specifically this version is different, I am not sure. The Tomen blog says that some special finishes were used to make it look "aged".

    Also I'm surprised at how FEW of these things are out there... the original PRO, the Police Version PRO and this new Worldcon PRO each had a run of only 300 units!

    There are also some of the first version of the Tomenosuke did by themselves before Marushin came on board, but still! A rare piece.

    Are they doing any weathering on the bottom plate?

    Last I saw, Monsters in Motion was selling one of the original Tomenosuke Pro's for around $1,800.

    When the bloody hell are they going to make these available in America at a REASONABLE price?!?

    If I wanted to pay $1,000 for a blaster, I'd buy one of Richard A. Coyle's and support a prop maker that has done much for this community and this hobby.
