It is one of the models made in the 80s in Japan...OZ shop or some one else...

All the had back them was TV and Batamax... very hard to get good stills.

I have a couple of pistures of these early tries on my website at:

It is essentially a recast of the OzShop. Several of the Recasts of the OzShop were of some note, especially the Marco Enterprise gun. Partially since it was advertised in his catalogue along with a holster (albeit inaccurate), and had lights built into the barrel. This one however looks a lot like the ones that Comet Miniatures sold for years under the name "SSG Blaster". The Steyr like parts do bare some resemblance to the SSG Steyr rifle.

Having seen who the seller was, I'm not surprised. He always claims everything is 'from original movie moulds'... it never is.

I've never heard anything good about that seller. One to be avoided.
