Tomenosuke get worldwide Blaster rights

[eethan]

I'm new enough here that the level of comprehensiveness in some of the replies is still impressive to me, thanks for all the answers.

by the way, to clarify as well, the tomenosuke is plastic and zamac (zinc alloy). some pieces are another alloy that I don't remember. it is not stainless steel however. that would be awesome if someone machined a stainless steel blaster but I'm not sure it could be sold in restricted countries and it would also be super expensive!

Apologize in advance for the dumb question, but are there any differences from the 2049 gun and the original BR gun than Tomens offered up? I’ve been wanting a gun forever and then when the new movie hit, everything switched to “2049?”

I believe the only difference will be the packaging. Having 2049 on the product is most likely a licensing thing.

The "Blade Runner" part is a licensing thing. The "2049" is on both.
As mentioned before, HCG wrote on the product page that they product will be identical. Only the box art will differ. I imagine the packaging style will also be identical.

No, not exactly.
Different box art, and a different box style.

To get a sneak peak, I've posted a new thread where the new box is shown.

I'm really hoping they release a kit again. There is something so satisfying about putting a prop together than just purchasing it completed.

One more dummy question as I can’t seem to find this on the product page. Do the lights on this work? Not a huge deal, but would be nice if they did.

Yes they do.

I asked them and they said “They will start shipping end of October in batches”

You can call HCG and give them your order number to find out if you made the initial run

Yep...but the display stand is still pre-order.

Just confirmed with HCG that mine shipped out today! First time purchasing from them. It's always a bit scary to drop that much on a pre-order. They have been fantastic to work with! Can't wait for my blaster!

Did you get a tracking number? I already paid in full, still waiting for shipping confirmation.

If the barrel is any indication, a stainless steel blaster would be insane. It's going to be heavy and cost a pretty penny to produce, but it'll sparkle.

I did. It is on the way. You can always contact HCG directly to determine what batch your order is attached to. Good luck.

make sure you guys post photos of your blasters when they arrive.
