20260813 ParagonFX’s BR Blaster

ParagonFX, partnered with Alcon Entertainment, LLC will issue 1,000 units of Rick Deckard’s Blaster for sale at about USD1,000.00 each. Not much is know about the product in question but I hope it has lasting metal components, especially the frames. I supposed that since this is the 2049 version, the white cables which is usually on the left is not there. The Blaster has a very ‘clean’ finish as if it just came out from the Factory. Tacky as it may sound, I was hoping for some sound effects such as startup-sound, the soft mechanical clink when the chamber is closed, some targeting soft beeps or even some hiss, etc. But nope.

Like it or not, for that price, it is a bit too much and also, with our Country’s Gun Laws, importing one is a waste of time as the chances of being stopped at the Customs is higher. Not only do those Custom Boys take it away, they will give you fa few years of free BnB too.

If this closely follows the prop then the colour of the green LED is correct. Or maybe not because when the movie was made in the 80’s I remembered the Red and Green LEDs to be darker.
The orignal Prop was based on the 5-rounds Charter Arms Bulldog.
Looking at the Ammo Clip, it seems to be powered from a CR2032 button cell. There could possibly be a pair of magnets on the left which could be doubled up as connectors for the green LEDs. Unless it is not lit. The other end of the Ammo Clip is a physical plastic tongue/lip to latch on to the Blaster. I still liked AndersFP’s idea of using all four magnets to hold the Clip and also pass the power to the green LEDs.
