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.

"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.

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. _________________ I never have enough time to do all I want to do! |
