What happened to the plans for a metal "Men in Black" J2 pistol?

[extreme_too2]

I remember about a year ago there was somebody working on metal J2's, but now I can't find the thread about it.

I was really looking forward to this. The J2 is pretty effin' cool.....

Here's a picture of Tommy Lee Jones holding one in case you've never seen the gun before...

I remember that too. I was also wondering about the little cricket gun.

You can find high quality Noisy Crickets on Ebay. Unobtanium made them a few years ago.....

The toy version from Universals Men in Black Alien Attack is okay for what it is. Runs $10 to $25.

Its slightly larger than the Ubo.

Just found these pics of the J2 from "Men in Black 2." It's different, but still pretty snazzy...

I remember this also I think a rpf member was doing this
I believe they were going to be die cast metal with a chrome finish
I had put a deposit down on one but the deal did not go thru
and I got a refund

at least I got a noisy cricket that somebody here had made a run of
it has an electronic board but i cannot find the instructions to install it :confused

Now before anyone flames me, I like the MIB guns a lot, but still, does anyone think they are trying to make a certain kind of statement with THAT design?

Thanks. I knew I'd seen it posted elsewhere.

Although it could well be vaporware... :lol

A member here made the guns for MiB--I wonder if he's willing to post pictures of the original, or if he still has them. :love

Oh, you tease, you.

Seriously though, that'd be awesome to actually hear from the person who made the J2.

It was a joke that referenced an adult novelty toy, that has since went *poof*

Ah, yes. Well, the barrel does have a very vibrator-ish look about it. But it adds to the unusual look of the piece. And it makes it a little more dangerous. I mean, if I saw a gun that looked like that, I'd be doing everything I could think of to keep it away from me...

Well its an old post but ... here's a sneak preview of our officially licensed Standard Issue Agent Sidearm or J2 J-Gun as its otherwise sometimes called..

This is a pre-production piece, not final product

[agliarept]

Holy Crap!! it looks beautiful. how close are you to a final production piece? from the looks of it, it looks very well done!! any light FX you plan on doing or will it be just static lights (on/off) or will it have a triggered response?

can't wait for this baby.

 

[Factory Ent.]

Glad you like it!

We are aiming to have this on the market at the end of this year, but it still has to go through both our final approval and licensor final approval processes so its too early to give a firm date today.

But based on how the project has come together so far its been going very well and we are very pleased.

Its will be an all metal and die-cast construction, with sounds and lights, with a museum quality display stand, acrylic cover, plaque etc.

We will continue to update as we know more

Thanks again

 

[Trilogy]

By the end of the year? That's good to know.

 

[Bowelrock]

Looks to me like the barrel holes are all the same size.

Thank you in advance Factory Entertainment for hopefully bringing a metal MiB J2 to the replica market! Before being "neuralyzed" at the end of your MIIB Neuralyzer un-boxing video, I enjoyed seeing the detailed blue resin version of the J2. The link to the sneak-peak of the metal prototype on this thread is looking good. As Bowelrock mentioned earlier, it does appear all the barrel holes might be the same size, but they could just be the angle/perspective of the photo. Hopefully you have had access to one of Rick Gamez's MiB originals for prototyping, and the holes will actually be different sizes, as seen below from one of Mr. Gamez's J2s...

Please keep us posted as to the continued development of the J2 replica and advise costs, when pre-orders may be taken, expected delivery dates, etc. Thanks again!
