Was just browsing the Prop store auction and came across this pistol from Andromeda which is clearly a modified PKD Blaster

http://propstore.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/10/lot/1265/?url=%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F10%2F

just thought it might be of interest Smile

VERY interesting! And well spotted! But, IMHO, not a very nice result... It's two completely different designs that really don't mix very well made into one blaster.

The show aired in 2000 so i wonder where the base Blaster came from? could it be an RAC or Sidkit? I imagine it was too early for the offworld?

I had heard that is was made from a Rick Ross's PKD.

It looks to be more than half a Rick Ross PKD 1. Pretty cool. I know I have seen pics of the screen caps, but wasn't sure how much of the PKD was original or just recast. Being the "Hero" version it is nice to see they used so much of Rick's gun directly.

An unholy alliance if I've ever seen one. Astonishing that someone would ask so much money for it.

800 pounds for a screen used piece that is also the "hero" version with electronics, actually sounds kind of cheap, if there are any Andromeda fans left anyway. Wink

Oops, I just posted about this in the Blaster Forum.

I've got a PKD1 from Rick Ross and instantly recognized this.

too bad the pics are gone. I think this gun went up for auction before several times as well.

The BR grip is the best looking part of it and certainly doesn't belong in with such bad company..

Yeah, it is a real Frankenstein monster. I never got into that show either.
