We are NUTS! We're nuts about this, we're nut about that, but never have I seen anything like the nuttiness that surrounds this movie prop.
I have seen so much confusion around the 2049 version it's unbelievable.
Below is what I understand to be the last version of the original run with blurb and please correct me if I have this wrong as I am probably more confused than most.
I apologise for the length of this post but I not seen a definitive explanation to varying number of 2049 versions.
THIS IS THE LAST VERSION OF THE HIGH END TOMENOSUKE BLASTERS - WITH THE CORRECT BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY FINISH, DELUXE FOAM PACKAGING, AND GRADUAL POWER UP RED LED MODULE. THE NEW "2049" MODELS NO LONGER HAVE THESE DELUXE FEATURES.

So this is the edition/version I recently purchased and not after started to see the one pictured below.
Now my confusion started to peak as I came across another, the only difference I could really note was in the packaging but I then started to wonder if I'd been too hasty in my desire to own this beauty.
Are these the same version save the alternative packaging or are there any kind of tweaks depending on when they were issued?
I hope you can see where the confusion lies and any information would be great to put me straight.
Cheers.
