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.
