    And if you do, what do you have to say about it? Is it as good as the promo pictures on their site?

    I have one and it is pretty nice-- the paint job is very "Factory New" so it requires a lot of weathering to get the right post apocolyptic LA look.

    Airbrush, pastels and careful use of silver rub and buff should do the trick&#33;

    Thanks for replying&#33; Can you tell me if it can be disconnected from it&#39;s display, and is there any heft to it?

    It appears to be sold out, but you can get on a wait list.

    Just wondering for those of you who has one already.

    I have a first generation pull of the rifle off Stan Winstons original mold.
    Looking at the rifle from the top, mine is a little warped, but that might be due to the fact my copy is made of almost solid fiberglass.

    Like to know how the Sideshow Replica looks symmetry-wise from all angles.

    Here is a pic of the sideshow compared with a pic of a real Stan Winston Endo rifle I took when I was at their studio last summer. You will see the grip area is different on the sideshow piece for some reason and the finish is more of a prestine version with almost no chrome look to it.

    The smaller hand grip and different detail on the "Hero" Rifle is because a real pistol was used in that prop so it can fire blanks. (I forgot the name of the that pistol)

    But IMHO, the blank firing prop&#39;s handle&#39;s looks funny because it&#39;s a little too small for the endo&#39;s hands.

    I prefer the larger ones on the non-firing prop since that is how the plasma rifle is suppose to look like.

    The gun on the tip of your tongue is the Calico M960 9mm submachine-gun.

    My sideshow endo rifle arrived today. Its very nice
    Its not as heavy as i thought it would be, you can hold it out at arms length with one hand like a pistol for as long as you like.
    There is a plaque on both sides of the plaque mount which is good, so you can display either side of the gun.

    I got mine from play.com in the sale for £199.99 shipped.

    I got number 148/500 BTW.
