Cheap PKD (Water Gun)

[Robiwon]

Looks fantastic. It might be hard to add lights to this as it is likely glued together to make it water tight. I'm not sure if I would try my hand at popping it apart. Being clear plastic it has less rubber content so the plastic is more brittle than solid colored plastic.

We will see hopefully in a few weeks though.

Followed the link to the Japan Amazon site. Listed for 11,500 yen or $113 USD. Little steep for a water gun

 

[E Williams]

Sounds like a third party seller. Retail is 1,200 yen.

Oh wow, I didn't even get an email

 

[Blade Walker]

Since this is based on the Elfin Knights Blaster, which was really warped, I hope they fixed that flaw in this new one.

 

[Contec]

Oh wow, I didn't even get an email

I didnt get an email either so this helps explain things. Thanks for the update!

amazon.jp are saying 31st July for my order

 

[Win7ermute]

Apologies for the double post, but has anyone got any experience with LED/Switch kits for the PKD?
Obviously hard to say without actually having it in hand - but it'd be good to know how well existing kits will fit this (and if they don't, if anyone will be offering them specifically for this model).

Another post with some production updates and details here:

Anything you can't find here would be in Propsummit but I agree, with the shell-type structure of a watergun I would think adding lights would be a tough go.

Anyone figured out yet, how much shipping will be, roundabout?

Depends on the method you choose, but its small and light so it should be pretty cheap.
I dont want to wait so I'll probably use EMS which is faster but a bit more money. Might be 20 bucks?

I have seen a clear black one, a clear colorless one except for blue grips, and variations on a solid black one with dark amber or yellowish grips.

There are "clear black" and "clear silver" versions. Not really sure what it means but I ordered the clear black version from HLJ.

 

[The 48th Ronin]

From what I've been able to decipher, the "clear black" with amber grips and the "clear silver" with blue grips are the $10 - $12 guns. The opaque black with amber grips and the opaque silver with blue grips are apparently "deluxe" versions, which are limited in number and are considerably more expensive.

 

[Robiwon]

The "amber" grips appear to be chrome amber and not clear amber.

Yeah , I just wish I could find out where to order them from.
Ive only found the clear versions so far.

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

The only place I found from which to order the Deluxe version was already sold out. I have added it to my *coughs name of online auction site* search-alert queue.
