Nobu-san emails me occasionally with updates. He says
The die is completed and check of parts is on October 15.
The assembling of a trial piece is on October 25. |

So what do we know about this blaster—and I mean in terms of potential sales and availability?
- Will this be sold?
- Do we know when?
- Price range?
- How many will be created?
- Who's going to Japan  ?

| Yeah, I agree, the die cast moundings are good and probably the most expensive pieces to produce, as any minor error in the mold goes straight on the piece being die cast ! So time well spent on the master, will pay off when a production run is made. Unfortunately, these do seem to be only for the Japanese home market , as it would be illegal to export them, I suspect a few will get in to the States , but as to the rest of the world , I think I stand a better chance of winning the lottery first, than geting my hands on one. and woe betide anyone caught smuggling one in their luggage !! |

According to their website they are planning on producing more so they can have extras for sale outside Japan. Instead of a couple hundred of these made like the more hand made version of the Tomenosuke Gun, they are producing upward of a thousand. That is also why they are making the Bulldog body in plastic, and you can also see that the cylinder is blocked, so no real bullets can go in it. The barrel will also be blocked. This gun should be legal everywhere except where "look alike" guns are illegal. Like the UK, Australia, and some states and cities in the US, including NYC.
