That was the aforementioned Tomenosuke version.
Wait, wasn't there another Japanese model from a few years ago that retailed for like $1,100?
That was the aforementioned Tomenosuke version.
Was just going to go down that road about the Sidkit.
Rich's version is THE best imo.
I remember fondly how the latest version developed over this board with Karl phoning Rich what he found at the Con! :thumbsup
Karl emailed me and I DROVE to CA and was there personally looking at the real blaster, there is one picture of me holding it in my eBay auction.
Keeping the record straight Rich
Never mind, I am thinking if the Hartford version.
I recently bought a resin kit off of ebay from Australia and hope it isn't too terrible. I wish I had known of this forum beforehand, as it has opened my eyes as to what is available.
This will be my first Blade Runner pistol and I hope it's at least a passable version. I guess it's too late now.
Does anyone have any experience with this particular kit?

My 2 cents worth.
For the most accurate and with the most working features IE: Green LEDs light, red LEDS light, removable ammo clip,with automatic lighting of the LEDs during replacment, working bolt, working cylinder opening, working hammer trigger system, Mine was cast off REAL bulldog and REAL Steyr Receiver, ammo housing and clip and parts and off a REAL stunt prop for the side covers = Mine. Also I have been around for over 35 years so I still offer repairs and service on my oldest models.
For the next most accurate model with a great finish but all machined new tooling so it is NOT off any real gun parts: any of the Tomenosuke models.
Note Because of Japan's toy Gun Law they have to use Plastic for the Bulldog pistol frame, the barrel and the cylinder, and they have to put metal inserts into the barrel and the cylinder. So far they have lacked the lighted Green LEDs and my removable clip. all other features are the same.
The Next most accurate is the Sidkit. (You know why)
Then I would list as less accurate but low cost and good cosplay: The Offworld, and the Hartford.
Last the recasts like the one just talked about..from down under..

Only What you have read here.
It was a recast off one of my models years ago.
Other than that I have no more to do with it.
