I assume these will be quite a bit more expensive than the last commercially offered version?

If I read the machine translation of the Tomenosuke blog correctly, the price is 177,500 yen (about $1,430 today) PLUS the cost of a Tomenosuke PRO blaster kit. But you should contact Hollywood Collector's Gallery as Toku-san suggests, that might not be the correct price. Basically you are hiring Nobutaka Toku, the designer of the Tomenosuke PRO, to handbuild you a custom version, with remanufactured details for accuracy, and a blued finish to the metal. k

"Not many can afford such quality."

Why is it that quote keeps coming back into my mind when Blade Runner blasters are concerned? LOL

Nexus7, I hear from Toku-san that Mune is traveling abroad and does not have a stable internet connection. Please be patient and he will contact you when he can. k

I don't know what's causing it, but in the second picture it's a strange mishmash of colors. Can't say I care for it's appearance. Are these two different blasters? One has a black on/off switch and one has a white switch. http://propsummit.com/upload/696/a0077842_16425248.jpg http://propsummit.com/upload/696/a0077842_16423766.jpg

The word from Toku-san is that both of those blasters ARE blued, but the one with the black switch uses a test part. No black switches were actually shipped in the products.

IF I read this right, NO you will have to send him your model and pay $1400.00 MORE for him to upgrade your $1200.00 model.
