[phase pistol]

Just a heads up for Japanese RPFers or those with friends in Japan. This first run is Japan-only. Next year Tomenosuke looks to sell these in the States and elsewhere.

Hmmm…. I'm moderately disappointed with the finish on this but then its fair to say that they never intended to make this quite as exclusive as their previous release…

I still think yours is far better Karl!!

Cheers for sharing bud

Kudos for the "Contact" reference, Willie.

As to the finish, yeah at first I too thought "gee that's awful dark". But i can tell you, the gun itself is pretty dark. It probably just looks too even all around, no character. Easily remedied with some careful weathering.

Keep in mind, this is a mass produced gun replica manufactured by Marushin. Mine which I showed off was carefully hand-finished by a master.

Don't miss the nice set of studio photos of the blaster itself.

It's still very sexy.

Hope you don't mind my piling on, Willie.

Are these sold out? I have no clue how to order one with the site being in japanese and all

Edit: ahh, Japan only, soooooooo, who's in Japan and wants to snag one for me

First batch is Japan only. There are plans to sell these elsewhere in 2011.

Do want! If only I lived in Japan...

Absolutely beautiful. I don't like the darker grip color...that bugs me a lot, but the rest of the gun is just plain astounding.

Is that bottom one YOURS, or the actual, screen-used prop? :confused

Anyway, first batch available in Japan only = Teh Suxor!!! angry

Anyone figured out how much these cost in US dollars yet? :confused

EDIT: Nevermind, I went to XE.Com and did the conversion... roughly $1,000 US = WAY too rich for my blood! I'll never be able to justify spending the money for one of these. And even if I could, for that amount of money, I'd expect it to be 100% accurate to the filming prop, even down to having Harrison Ford's fingerprints and sweat on the grip!

In my comparison shot the top is Tomenosuke PRO and the bottom is the screenused prop from the Profiles auction.

That one sold for over a quarter million dollars After they washed his fingerprints and sweat off of it though

I blame myself. By that point it was probably too covered with MY fingerprints.
