Nobu-san updates us with news of a third run of Marushin Blaster Pro replicas.

Also stand by for news May 27 (tomorrow!) about the availability of a new custom Special blaster, with blued finish, handmade to order by Nobutaku Toku himself!

I'm only seeing page one of two which shows a lot of prep but no actual bluing being done - am I missing something?

Well they talk about it I think... Mostly they are focusing on the structural modificiations, you are correct. The first post showed blued parts.

Updated again!

Toku-san re-machines many of the parts to correct tiny flaws that were unavoidable due to the mass-manufacturing process.

So, just to be clear, will they be doing another run with this blued finish?

My understanding from Toku-san is that the blued blaster is not a "run" as such, you have to order them and Toku-san will build them individually. Basically he takes the existing PRO parts and machines the modifications detailed on those blog posts, and blues the metal parts.

CORRECTION: here is the correct ordering info for non-Japanese:

"If you are foreign customer and interested, please e-mail Hollywood Collectors Gallery (info@hollywood-japan.jp)".

Toku-san says the ordering process will be halted when his capacity to build these is reached.
