>From his entrance on the bridge of Darth Vader’s command ship, to his unworthy exit
in the belly of the mighty sarlacc, Boba Fett has excited fan’s imaginations like
no other.

Shrouded in mystery, Fett’s origins and importance to the saga would later be
revealed. But for a while, a long time ago, in a decade not too far, far away, Boba
Fett remained an enigmatic warrior, who said little but who carried a big gun…

And what a gun it is! For the first time ever, Master Replicas brings you a fully
authorized and licensed replica of the legendary bounty hunter’s firearm from Star
Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

Crafted with our customary quality and attention to detail, this exacting replica
has been recreated from a surviving filming prop in the Lucasfilm archive and
features:

* Authentic weathered finish
* Machined aluminum and brass parts
* Diecast metal construction
* Injection molded plastic components
* Wooden handles
* Museum quality display case with mirrored base and acrylic cover
* Numbered plaque and Certificate of Authenticity

Unleash your inner mercenary and take out a contract on this today!



BOBA FETT BLASTER Signature Edition

With an ultra low edition size of only 750 pieces, the Signature Edition offers the
same meticulous details as our Limited Edition release, but comes with a special
plaque signed by Boba Fett himself, actor Jeremy Bulloch.

* Authentic weathered finish
* Machined aluminum and brass parts
* Diecast metal construction
* Injection molded plastic components
* Wooden handles
* Museum quality display case with mirrored base and acrylic cover

Quick! Bag one of these beauties today before Bounty Hunting season ends!

Cool! I didn't expect the announcement of this for a while. I had heard MR was going to announce a new product on 11 April. I wonder if this was it.

WOW. thats cewl. to bad im to poor

NICE!!!

So where do you order it from??

From the first pic it doesn't look like it has enough rust color to it.

I've been talking to a guy in MR about this gun and he suggested you join their collectors club -

you get discounts and first crack at this item.


about $60.00 or so. Plus you get a scaled lightsaber hilt.

It says on the left that its not the finished product, but the "ORIGINAL PROP the replica is based on" So whatcha talk'n about Willis? It must be perfect unless that's a Fan made blaster MR is copying?

If you read the fine print by the pic it says that the final item is not pictured. It could look way different.

the guy said it was from the real prop.

Yes it will be an exact replica as the one used in the movie. I have seen the prototype. Sweeeeet!! You will be extremely happy with it. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jerry

I'd much rather obtain a Sci-Fire blaster then ever give MR a cent of my money again. *Mutter mutter......Stupid clone helmet....mutter..mutter.*

i'm sure it will be great, but i don't think i'd want to troop with one. one of our TKs carries his MR blaster with him, and i don't know how he does it.

i'll be keeping an eye out though... if it comes down a bit in price from the 579 tag i may go for it.

Like the Fett helmet, ther rifle was reel scanned so unless they messed with it much, it should be pretty nice. Time and real pics will tell...

As good as I think that looks, I am going to pass. The price is just too much for me. I do like their products and have 3 of the Force FX Sabers, but I can't justify almost $600.00 for a blaster. That's just my opinion.

It's probably the lighting in the photograph washing out the colors some, because the promo photograph is the real ROTJ Fett rifle that was on display at MoM.

Agreed! Plus I have one from Sci-Fire and its dead on!

i wonder if the scope if even a real one. now that i look at it. how come the front piece of the scope doesnt look like a ASI? its dosent have that decrease in size from the end peice to the actual scope structure.

Amen!

ESB helmet.....ROTJ rifle....yeah, that makes sense I guess if the movies weren't consistent, why should licensed replicas be

I'll stick with my HS beauty 'til that perfect original blued Webley comes my way8)

Steve

I'm still on the fence. $600 is a bit much for a blaster. May have to wait and see what it does on the secondary market.

Yipes! Too rich for my blood. I'll be interested to see how they turn out though.

It would be sweet if I could just order the display case for my Webley.

...will pass in favor of the Sci-fire one... but would be a great display model though - would anyone troop with it?

Would I troop with it? Heck NO! But I have to have one!

Up until now, I have not had any interest in MR products. But between the ESB Helmet and the ROTJ Blaster, MR may get some of my money.

Gator

I can't stand these stupid MR items....Give me fan made costume parts, ANYDAY!

It looks pretty nice, but a little to rich for my blood.

After the initial rush of the high end collectors, these should be available at some sort of discount. I have a few MR items and I never paid full price for any of them. (Training remote $75, Thermal detonator $100, Jango Blaster case for my more accurate fan made blasters $50, Vader ESB saber $150)

Boba Fett's ROTJ blaster is:

THE reason I found this website

THE reason why I decided to do a ROTJ costume

I have to have one!

I take it we'll be able to order these from the MR website??

I've lost faith with MR, they need to EARN it back. I'll watch the company, but they need to get their act together before they get any more of my business. Here's a little suggestion for them...sell your product AFTER you have it sitting in your warehouse. I've grown to hate pre-sales.

MR asks WAAAAAY too much for their props. I'm sorry but I'll take my MLC blaster for half that price any day. Sure this will most likely be better but not $300 better!

Besides... I get a kick out of the additional $100 for JB's autograph. I'm sorry... I love JB to death. He's a great guy but there's no way in hell his autograph is worth that much to me. Especially when you can get it at any convention you want for about $20 (if he even charges you at all).

.... must .... refrain .... from .... speaking mind ...


"OY" !

Over at our boards ( www.rebelscum.com ) Amy from MR customerservice, just mentioned that there MIGHT come up with a CE ( Collectors Edition ) too sometime later.
CE´s are the "Poor Man Props", with the same details but made out of cheaper materials.

MR history as of late is that of any E! True Hollywood Story, full of promise, success, surrounded by scandal and the eventual tragic spiral into self-destruction.

Quality control, communication between the departments of production and management, unreasonably commitment to deadlines attributes to debacles that continue to live in humorous infamy, case in point that “Stupid clone helmet” as Jordy put it so amply.

The price alone MR is asking for is staggering when you consider individuals like MLC and Sci-fire produce a replica on par for a fraction of the price. However for the average consumer and the avid collector the MR ROTJ will be the best available product accessible but there still isn't any justification to the unreasonably excessive price tag.

Hopefully things optimistically work out this time around for those purchasing this item from MR with little to no hassle, but for those already scorned by MR once I think there is a valid reason to be concerned and reasonably pessimistic.

I honesty wouldn’t give a dime of my own hard earned wages to MR for products they seemly can’t deliver. I’d much rather buy some pesto down at Trader Joe’s that is absolutely scrumptious but beside the point than buy any MR products.

Besides John's ROTJ blizzle is prodizzle.

I'm trying to remember what I got my Spidey kit for back in the day, I think it was around $175 or something. To me, it looks every bit as good as what MR will put out, plus I get the satisfaction of knowing I made it.

I'd rather spend that money getting a real webley and making the gun
$600 is way too hefty of a price tag and even though it will probably be dead on, I don't understand how they keep ripping their fans off. Too bad so many people have to have it.

if i could get a real webley for even *close* to that price, i'd be all over it. i found an original stalk once for $750. no gun though.

anyone know what an original goes for? anyone wanna sell me one for $600 or less?

Not to change the subject...but...if the rifle is that much, whats the helmet going to go for?

Original blued Webley's are usually in the $1200 range.....nickel plated US versions are less....how much less depends on timing, seller, market, etc.

The price actually isn't that bad considering it's a finished, licensed prop....I've got nearly $500 into my HS buildup.

I paid a little bit more than DL44 Blaster mentioned, but it was well worth it. I paid $1300 for my blued Webley and $1500 for my nickel plated Webley.

Wow... I have just been building mine... $30.

The guys above are talking real Webley's..

you guys keep mentioning scifire making the blaster - are they?

i've gotten no response from my email to them inquiring about it.

I'll wait to see the final product before I drop any cash. MR has had too many quality control issues lately.

Why on earth is this thing going to have wooden handles? The only thing wooden on a Webley is the stock.

Yes, that bothers me too. The grip should be brass. But considered that it's painted anyways, metal would be fine. But I'd rather have painted brass.
