I think its a great start from a company that is being realistic with what it can release...

Let's hope the golden gun eventually gets released. :rolleyes
I know this may sound lame, but I actually wish we could get a nonfiring "licensed 007" Walther PPK. Yeah, I know Factory Replicas would need to get permission from Walther and that you could get a high quality blank-firing replica elsewhere (but they cost something like $400-$500 bucks), but it would be pretty nice to add to a Bond collection, especially if it were relatively cheap and had a working trigger, hammer, slide, as well as a removable magazine and bullets.

I SAW THAT! I'd love to get Westley's and Inigo's Swords.
But back on topic, does anyone know if the gun will be able to be taken apart as in the movie?

I would assume it does come apart, but I do know you can contact them directly to ask questions...

Rather than assuming "doom and gloom"... I have to agree with Dave here...how about giving these guys a chance???
And I have NOTHING to do with them, so this isn't self-promotion. But I am painfully aware that securing a license and actually getting any quantity of product to market is a fantastically difficult process. It is loaded with detours, politics, broken promises from vendors, and incompetent people who seem to be determined to push you off-track at every stage of the process.
Everything is wrong...everything is too expensive, everything is late...
Give it a break.
As always, if you can do it better, faster, cheaper, by all means DO IT.
Seriously! Shaddup and do it!!!!
And post pics!!! :lol

Oh, that's just mean. I'm still waiting on you to post pictures of the finished ALIENS Tracker Tube.
But you are absolutely correct though when it comes to giving companies like this a chance in developing replicas like this. It is tedious work. I'll never forgive MR for letting go of the "Light of Elendil" vial.
I am excited for the James Bond line. Good luck FE!

Maruzen makes a pretty good bb-gun replica of the PPK for $96, and it has everything you mention, except for the bullets. I just got mine last week, and I am very happy with it as a display piece.

Marushin pfc model gun Walther PPK/S is definitely a good display piece to add - the gun takes down like the real thing and have brass bullets. The caps goes into the bullets. When fired the slide pull back to eject bullet like the real thing - very nice.
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE for them to come through. Personally, I have been dissapointed far too many times. A new 'prop' company comes along and promises all those things we want in our collections, then it fails after they offer their first three things with varying success.
I used to be a prop optimist...now I just wait until a physical product is produced.
:unsure
