Tomenosuke — Blaster Gun in Rubber

001-RubberGun_01

Beyond loving art toys, Shinji Nakako of Tomenosuke is a passionate collector and fan of Hollywood Science Fiction films.  He has painstakingly directed research of the Blaster Gun seen in the Blade Runner film and released several high-end reproductions since 2009.  The replicas  feature meticulously produced parts held together with screws and springs to achieve a working trigger, a revolving chamber removable dummy rounds.  While these versions including several assemble-it-yourself kits are highly regarded and have long since sold out, their price (~$1200and ~$550 for the kits) limited the collector base. 

Now after considerable trial and error, Tomenosuke is about to release the Blaster Gun in Rubber, the most affordable version yet at 14,700 yen (~$147).   The Rubber Blaster Gun will be released on 11.15 for Japanese collectors via Tomenosuke and from Hollywood Collectors Gallery in late December.
