Are these weapons repro?

[peekaygee73]

Last year I bought a lot of figures which supposedly all had original weapons. However, whilst some did it turned out some definitely didn't. There are still 4 of which I'm not certain - a translucent bowcaster, two imperial blasters and a rebel blaster. I've checked them against TIG but would appreciate further opinions:

They all look fine to me at first glance - presume they all float?

Cheers Iain - yep, they all float. I thought they looked fine too but wanted someone with more knowledge to check.

Look ok to me, bowcaster definitely real. Better lit/lighter photos and a bit closer would help.

Is it normal for the blue imp blaster to be smaller than the black?

Not questioning the consensus of these being legit, just curious.

Reckon they look fine. Drop tested?

I've never looked at that before - when you think these were made in loads of different factories at different times across the world then there are likely to be the odd abnormality - heck that's why people love a variant !!

Thanks all for the feedback.

Drop test seems OK today. The blue imperial blaster's at an angle on both pictures which probably doesn't help. I took the pictures in natural light (not that there is much at the moment!) so I'll try for some closer pictures during the week.

I don't think it is smaller. If it was taken with a phone or compact camera it will be a slight wide angle lense skewing the image making things in the middle look bigger and things towards the edge smaller.

Yes, it's a compact camera with wide angle lens on macro setting.

Mystery solved

Again, thanks for all the feedback guys. I believed these were all original but my repro-detecting skills took a bit of a knock recently on a Vader sabre I thought was genuine but wasn't. Nice to know I haven't completely lost it! :lol:
