The OFFICIAL BLADE RUNNER Thread

[Spenser]

There’s a Spinner in the trash dump in one scene. I don’t think it is any more part of the Blade Runner universe than the Discover pod in Phantom menace is a part of the 2001: a space odyssey universe.

Soldier has a few Blade Runner references- Kurt Russell's character was a veteran of the battles of Tannhauser Gate and Shoulder of Orion.
It also contains references to the Aliens Universe- Russell's character having been trained in the use of the M41A Pulse Rifle and USMC Smartgun.

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

The winning bid was $225K.


And I thought Soldier was an awful movie.

I posted this in the Customs forum a few minutes ago, but I thought I might get more attention here.

Ben and I have been at a Deckard figure for years. I've always loved Blade Runner. First exposed to the Director's Cut in 2000 or 2001 on the Sci-Fi Channel, I've owned a DVD copy of the DC, a bootleg DVD of the Theatrical release, and I now have the Blade Runner box set with the briefcase.

In fact, Ben never saw BR until 2004. A few days prior to watching the film, I showed him Tony DiTerlizzi's Deckard custom:

He immediately knew we must make this figure.

Anyway, to the figure. It's the Android Hunter clothes, of course. We switched the body over from a BBI G2 to a Saturday Toys body. The belt and shoes are also from the Saturday Toys suit figure. Ben removed the old silver buttons a couple of years ago and replaced them with properly scaled buttons. The most crucial part to this figure over the years has been the head. We've used the Jim Maddox Deckard sculpt for the longest, then the Android Hunter V2 head, and I paid a ridiculous amount for Jim Maddox's latest Deckard sculpt. None of them looked good enough. Thank God for Paul Carson! I bought one of Paul's sculpts and Ben painted it up today.

Without further adieu...

Thank you so much, Paul! We now have a near perfect Deckard. I may upgrade to BlindVoyeur's BR outfit. That is he's still making them by the time I have enough money.

Oh, it looks like I have an opportunity to start the lifelong Blade Runner debate here: Is Rick Deckard a replicant? I say NO!

That's a big difference between the last two shots. Looks nice. I have the Hero Heads Deckard on mine which is pretty nice, but I do prefer that sculpt.

Thanks for posting these images Fusion. It looks KICKASS with Paul's Deckard resculpt. I have one coming from D.A. for my BlindVoyeur clothing set to replace my Android Hunter, but D.A.'s is more of the 'wet-head-end-of-film' look. I just might have to get Paul's sculpt to be more of a 'Rick Deckard on the town when it's NOT raining' type of look!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Looks fantastic! Great job to you guys!

I hope Hot Toys or Sideshow get the license one day. Deckard is high on my wish list. I considered the Android Hunter figure, but I wasn't thrilled. And I don't know if I can devote the resources to bashing one together, let alone have it come out as great as yours did!

 

[Mr. Fusion]

Thanks guys! We are much happier with it now than when we started.

Thanks. Yeah, Paul's resculpt completely overhauled this figure. You should definitely pick it up.

Thanks, Jim. We love these types of responses.

Pretty neat, although a little pricey, (even with my deal).

Looks better than the Android Hunter in my opinion, so I just pre-ordered with the view to swapping out the head.

Are the heads all thats new? They don't look all that great.

The heads are pretty nice, but the clothes are from the Android Hunter, for sure.

Not much runner, more standing still this one

 

[Mr. Fusion]

I found that one custom Deckard, again, at ABC-Express on eBay. 1:6 HARRISON FORD BLADE RUNNER FIGURE

At closer inspection I see that the outfit is NOT from the Android Hunter. Although, You can tell there are two heads. In one photo, they are side-by-side, each on a body. The trench coat on the left one looks almost identical the the Android Hunter's. Overall the AH coat is more accurate.

 

[Commtech]

Store Rooms has it for less:

https://store-rooms.com/Product.aspx?sku=1125

I believe shipping is included in that price.

 

[EVILFACE]

Pretty good looking figure. Jacket doesn't look right though.

 

[THE JOKER]

Has anyone preordered with storerooms before.

 

[sladesuperagent]

HOW BOUT SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES DECKARD ALREADY?!?!?!? Same Android Hunter clothes on ANOTHER different head! Snooze.
