The most iconic versions were made by Rick Ross Pflager Katsumata. There were a number of others made (yes, and also recasts) but now you will find it fairly difficult to track one down.
Check these boards and also the boards on Propsummit Propsummit.com a Blade Runner Prop Community Forum BladeRunnerProps.comIndex because every now and then a kit pops up.
May I also suggest you visit Propsummit for ANY information regarding the Blaster and the Blade Runner franchise in general? They're a terrific and extremely knowledgable bunch of folk.
Good luck with your quest
Regards

Watch out! I purchased a PKD Blaster at a model convention (without checking!), thinking I was getting a good deal for $40.00. Was I ever suprised when I got home!
It has to be a recast of a recast! It was horrible! I've seen the same solid resin version of the gun on ebay, and you'll have to do alot of work! Mine became more of a restoration, than a build! I finally finished it, and Im presently working on a stand for it.
I might buy another one that has multi pieces out of resin, they look pretty good. Just like the saying goes, you get what you pay for!
Oh, and Propsummit has been a major help! A tip of the hat to the builders over there as well!

Totally agree with Mark.
Head over to Propsummit for anything Blade Runner related.
There is a very useful time line on all known replica blasters by Andy that I'm sure you will find very useful.

By far the BEST Resin Kits of the Dekkard PKD Blaster are from Rick Ross.
He made several versions. I think better the the original prop design.
You can use the Search feature on the RPF Forum to find all the threads about the different kits and builds.
I have been trying to find the Rick Ross PKD Magnum myself. No luck. I missed my best chance to pick up two ealier - keep an Eye on the Junkyard section here on the forum.
Someday I will find someone willing to part with the Magnum.
Be careful - I got ripped with a recast of a recast - and paid for what I thought was the Real first generation Rick Ross Magnum. :cry
Maybe Rick Ross will do another run someday. Rick - you fans are waiting !!!!!

There is a toy one being sold in England cheaply as a Buy It Now under the name Fancy Dress Gun. It could be modified and painted up to look half way decent for a costume gun. I have also used both an Offworld and a Wilco for costuming when I dressed up for Halloween as Gaff. I may use the Wilco again for when I get the police costume done for next Halloween hopefully.

Yep, that is the Coolmodels recast of the Rick Ross PKD-1, even if it wasn't a recast, it is a piece of warped and bubble filled junk. Stay away. Wilco doesn't make their version anymore either.

At the top of this page are pictures of my Wilco.
I drilled out all of the screws and replaced them with real metal, I reshaped the butt plate, and hollowed out the barrel. I added (non functional) LEDs, as well. I think it came out pretty good - but I'd love a crack at a Sidkit or Coyle Worldcon version...I'm just not made of money.

Crap, I was going to get one of those.

Well I think its safe to say this is the same kit I bought at a model convention! At least I know what one it was based, err.. recast from! I'll have to post my build / resteration over there to show how I made a gun out of a block of resin! Thanks again for the info!
