Prop HCG Blade Runner 2049 Tomenosuke Blaster (Officially Licensed)

I first saw this new run promoted back in March. Was surprised to find out HCG still had the Tomenosuke Blaster available. Equally as surprised to see very little chatter about it. I've always wanted one of these so I placed an order.

Congrats man. I got to handle one of these a few years ago and it's pure awesome sauce. The weight, the detail, everything about is just off the charts.

I always thought that looked really good when I first saw it years ago. I was wondering with the new film release if they're going to do an updated version of K's gun.

That looks hard!
I'd love to have one that fired live ammo.

Thanks. I've always heard of how impressive the weight of this prop is. Can't wait to finally hold it.

Man, I would absolutely love for them to do a replica of K's gun. That carbon fiber grip is sexy as hell. Plus part of it kinda reminds me of the Moonhawk hand cannon in Destiny.

Apparently it's possible to have a working version of this gun. A lot of these prop releases had the gun barrel filled in and don't include a firing pin. However, since the actual movie prop was constructed from a Bulldog and the receiver of a Steyr Mannlicher, a lot of fans constructed their own BR blaster. I imagine going that route would give you a functional firearm.

Woah thanks for the heads up.
I'll have to look into this.

I really wish HT picked up this license (for both films) as well as SSC PF's.

I have several modified versions of the Tomen. I highly, highly recommend them. Stunning replicas with major upgrade potential.

Here are a couple of mine:

Looks very good. I ordered the 2049 blaster from HCG. What kind of modifications you have done to yours?

Never even thought it could be converted that way. For the asking price I always thought I could get a "real" gun but I don't feel the need to buy another firearm. A fully functional blaster is pretty cool though.

Not sure it's as simple as combining the two guns, but I believe it's possible. I did see an old YouTube vid of someone firing a BR designed gun at a shooting range. Never found out what his specs were.

Hey guys found the thread thought I'd chime in I also placed my order.
I've seen a lot of these going for a lot more on eBay made by the same company just wondering if there's a big difference

Essentially this is the exact proper use them the latest movie but it still this version from the first movie

Correct. The only thing I've heard will be different is the packaging. Just hoping the rumors I've heard are true about a foam insert instead of the gun simply being wrapped in bubble wrap.

What kind of stand you guys would have for this blaster? I saw the ones offered in HCG website, but is there anything better?

Just placed my order. Sci-fi replica weapons are without question one of my single favorite items to collect and this is without question one of the nicest replica's I have seen to date. I rank it right up there with Weta's District 9 weapons and Triforce's M-8 Assault Rifle. And I love that its doesn't scream sci-fi like most of my other pieces from IP"s like District 9, Halo, Gears of War, etc. Its like a gun you would expect to see in the near future. Unfortunately, I have to do a payment plan as I just have way too many other pieces on order so it will be awhile before its actually in hand, but can't wait for that day. Just a stunning piece!!

I haven't started looking into stands yet, but I think I want something a little different than the one on HCG's site. Might also have an engraved plaque made.

Possible update on the packaging. New pic of Shinji Tomenosuke with his book and a new blaster box:

These have started to ship out and pics of them in collector's hands have to started to surface. Hopefully I'll get mine in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, I'll be sure to post some pics and my thoughts on it when it arrives.

The site says 'Estimated Ship Date: January 2018'
Was it delayed? Or are they shipping in batches?
