The OFFICIAL BLADE RUNNER Thread

There have been many branch threads but no real Home Thread for this 1982 Masterpiece. So, this is for all things Collectible "BLADE RUNNER": Customs, Figs, Vehicles, etc. And let's hope HT picks up this Classic 80's License...

This Thread is Proudly Dedicated to Our Man Batty.

"REVEL IN YOUR TIME."

"He say you Blade Runna."

Definitely one of my top three favorite movies.

Did Batty die?

Of course not. Batty is our Ultimate BR Freak on SSF.

Revel in this: Spenser's Rachel!

Here’s a quick Rachael, I need to spend some more time on the next one but I was anxious to see how the head would look.

I would love for Hot Toy's to pick up the BR license. I'd definitely be down for a Deckard.

Apparently it's a very difficult license to get for various reasons. Sideshow was asked about it in a recent Q&A and I got the impression that they weren't even sure who held the rights to it.

Very cool thread! I just wish there was more actual licensed product out there to talk about. At least there's plenty to talk about as far as the movie goes.

I want more life, father.

Hi Batty

As soon as I get Blind Voyeur's Deckard, i'll be posting it here.

Never heard of it.

I could've sworn he originally said "^^^^er"...

Well, there is some great news in the newest Previews. Boom Studios is adapting Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep into a 24 issue maxi series! I for one will be getting this series, and looking forward to a hardcover treatment after the run finishes up in two years time. That is, as long as the adaptation is done well and the artwork is high caliber.

Anyone else notice this coming?

You know, it's funny how these things work. The same was said about Ghostbusters recently, but once a Sequel was announced, the likeness Rights followed. BTW, Sigourney has agreed to appear in GB3.

As far as BR, WB may one day do a Sequel. If that happens, the same may occur, although I doubt the original castmembers would reappear so it may be a moot point. Sometimes rights all get rolled into a future license, sometimes not. But because many of the original cast members are still alive, maybe something could be worked out in the event of a future franchising deal.

I would like to see someone secure this Property for a ViD Game, using original voices and likenesses (Like Scarface), then maybe that could lead to a Toy License being offered.

Btw, ERTL at one time had the license to do diecast vehicles.

Scott changed it to "father" for the Final Cut.

Yeah, I saw that, or rather heard, that when I saw the Final Cut.
It's almost as stupid as Greedo shooting first...

Deckard's screen used "hero blaster" is up for auction. Anyone have an extra $100,000 around?

https://www.profilesinhistory.com/new/index.php?option=com_auctions&catid=36&task=view&id=10820

Dayum! That's beautiful...

From the Auction Page..

Only one hero firing weapon was made for the production which was created by mating a Steyr-Mannlicher Model .222 SL receiver on to a Charter Arms .44 police bulldog double-action revolver. It features custom amber grips, dual triggers, and futuristic illuminating LEDs (four red and two green) that can be activated by a small switch mounted beneath the barrel.

Very cool! Never realized the amber handle grips were translucent...
