Factory Entertainment Battlestar Galactica 1979. Colonial Laser Pistol

It’s still a bit pricey for me. I’m surprised it doesn’t say if it comes with a stand, but more important, no video to show the lights and sounds?
Their site shows it on a stand.

Yeah, thought that it would come with a similar stand, but it wasn’t in the description.
 
Ordered! I have a lights and sound RAC version I bought 25 yarens ago and this is a cleaner probably a machined printed project. RACs was a resin pull I believe.

THE REPLICA

The Factory Entertainment Team spent many hours studying surviving original props as well as various videos and images.

Charming as the eccentricities of the original props are, a deliberate choice was made to refine the replica by removing irregularities and anomalies that the original prop makers never intended to be seen.

A 3D model was created from scratch using the source material as reference. All asymmetry was corrected, any distortion was removed, and any incomplete detail was restored.

This resulted in a single optimized version of the blaster, and self-contained electronic light and sound effects were added.

The body of the blaster is crafted from high-quality resin and features hand-painted details. The barrel is made from metal.

Yep machined Resin and a metal barrel this go around
 
This was completely unexpected (to me, at least). Cool to have something posted and then immediately available for ordering rather than the preorder wait that we are all so used to. Not my absolute favorite prop, but if the sounds/lights look good I might pull the trigger.
 
I will be sending in it for a cover. My Dune Paragon hunter seeker is getting a cover first. As I have it in hand and un opened for that purpose
 
I wish they would have put the Hero working trigger on this.

Still the trigger they went with is better than the old RAC Red one
