Han Solo Blaster

As seen in Star Wars: A New Hope

I got this in trade.

This is the Han Solo DL-44 made by Master Replicas. Frankly, it's pretty frickin' awesome. It's build on a denix mauser replica base, which is pretty standard. The scope is solid. There are a lot of details on this piece that have never been incorporated into a blaster replica before, so I'm pretty happy about it. I think my only real complaint about it is the weathering paing that is on the scope mount. It looks a little cheesy, but after doing some research, I have discovered that this is pretty much what the hero blaster looked like. Master Replicas did a good job copying many of the VERY small details on the hero, including the scratches on the scope. Good stuff.

This blaster has been reviewed to death all across the web, so I won't add my two cents to the storm. I will say that I think it's a VERY nicely built blaster, and I'm very proud to have it in my collection. The packaging of the blaster is absolutely top notch, and for that reason alone makes it superior to many other attempts. I really like the paint job on it too. It's more of a dark grey than black.
