|
|
The purchaser/winning bidder of the Hero prop from the Profiles in History 2006 movie memorabilia auction just outed himself on Facebook. Dan Lanigan. Let's be cool and not attack the guy or bug him too much, and maybe we will be able to get him to share info with more of us. I already know a few here have been keeping his secret a while. I am glad to hear he is no longer staying in the shadows. I thought about not releasing his name, but I know it is too late and the whole RPF will know shortly, so I figured we deserve to know first.
Andy

While I am happy to see the owner share the blaster, I had a bad feeling things were going to go south.
But Dan seems to handle it well. _________________ I don't have enough blasters! |

It unravelled with appalling predictability but thankfully most of the inappropriate posts have deleted..
I'm happy Dan has finally shown it off. He's a great guy and a very serious collector so the blaster is in very good hands indeed. _________________

A structured light 3d scan of the hero would be epic! |

I was referring to the "second hero gun" by that mystery owner somewhere in Cali. (remember, the gun with the serial # altered so it can be the same as the real one?) |

Dan seems to be taking it all in stride, especially with Mark's diplomacy, which I am sure really helped. I am hoping to get him to come over here and share more with us directly, and he seems open to the idea. He really sounds like he would rather do that than entertain offers from the many to give exclusive information. You know he is a serious fan of the prop itself, or he wouldn't have paid that much for it. I only keep hearing good things about the guy and my conversations with him have been nothing but positive.

Same here.
He bought one of my 1999 Plastic blasters from me back in the day.
I am sending him a bunch of the photos of the gun. (Yes sending him)

I think it's fantastic that a fan got the blaster and can appreciate it that way. It's just freaking cool. Now, we have to get Dan together with Adam Savage just because. _________________ I don't have enough blasters! |
