Syd Mead Bladerunner blaster from Sideshow. Anyone know when??

Recommend sanding the contacts on the battery clean if you have issues like dim lights, it's also one of these contact pads that is the switch to turn the red LED on when you insert the battery pack, the spring contact inside the gun needs to exert pressure on it. Or if your LED is on all the time as mine was, I needed to excercise that switch manually a while and used compressed air on it. It doesn't move much if at all but it's the switch.

Really love Morganthirteen's work. I received mine this week from Sideshow (265 total, used an online coupon). I just haven't got he heart or nerve to fold it!

Do it lol!,, It really will do it lol

Sigh, mine has a short so back to Sideshow it goes, seems to be in the barrel where it folds. The barrel is also having issues staying locked in place, just bump it and it swings open.

Quality.

So...I’m curious. What’s the benefit of the folding barrel?

I think I remember reading that the blaster would be folded in deckard’s holster, and would automatically unfold when taken out of his holster.

Yeah. In theory the barrel would catch on the holster as it was being drawn, causing it to unfold.

To shoot around corners .

When I saw him taking it out of the box, I thought he got scammed with a replaced plastic toy

Well late to the party but he's in the club now. LOL

It displays well, it may have been better if they didn't add electronics at all, maybe spent the money on less visable seams and better paint, more heavy in hand. Oh well. I'm still happy to have it, I enjoy seeing it in the detolf case and having a bit of that Syd Mead magic about. Just don't pick it up. LOL

Tbh that's how it felt unboxing mine as well.

So, people are disappointed by the execution of an obsolete, rejected design?

Hmmm.

If it were a real "laser tube" it would be roughly as impressive as these replicas. It might buzz, but you would be blind before you knew it.

BTW, the design looks like it was based on the old paper snap guns.
