Blade Runner - Tomenosuke Blaster PRO

[Python]

HCG are now selling a stand for this, pretty pricey for a piece of perspex, but it looks the part when set up..

I received my Tomenosuke Blaster in UK today. Passed through UK customs no problem. HCG enclosed a letter in the parcel explaining why the Blaster was legal for UK and stating it was a non-firing prop replica. Total price paid £878 ( blaster and shipping £714 + customs charge £164 ). Arrived from US in 2 days, then sat in customs for 3 weeks, but well worth the wait. It's a beautiful piece.

Ahhh UK customs, making this hobby less enjoyable and way more expensive since the dawn of time.

Glad you're happy however, I wish I'd gotten one now.

Thanks. Just purchased the display stand. £81.32 including shipping and then the dreaded customs charge to go on top. Emailed HCG and they have the stands in stock now. Hopefully custom clearing will be a bit faster this time.

It should be, I order from SSC a lot and it's generally only a couple of days waiting for an item to be released. It imagine the delay was simply due to the item in question being a replica weapon. Get some pictures up when you have it all if you can.

Interesting the Blaster is finally wait listed at HCG .


Just thought I would mention I picked up the stand on the bay and really like it. At the time Feb 2015 ,HCG didnt have any stands for them .

I like the design on mine more . I have no connection to them just wanted people that bought a blaster another option to choose from .

That sounds like a lot of innaccuracies on the previous model. How do we know this new one isn't off by a similar margin?

They'll be selling revisions of this thing as long as they can get away with it.
