This was posted over on the RPF. Rubies made a 1:1 Han Solo ESB blaster for costuming this year, with sound effects. Hasbro only ever made a bad scaled down version. Now, with a little paint, you can have a fun replica for $12 instead of the $$ of a MR (which are great but really, I don't need a $500 dust collector). Here are some pics as you get it and then what can be done with some modification and then finally the MR version. I bought one on e-bay. :)
Very slick!
Freakin' sweet! The paint job took that thing from fugly to fantastic!
What a great paint job. Loks like i'll be nipping to toys r us soon.
