Now I can take her anywhere.

Lumibricks officially licensed Blade Runner sets!

In my mind the box was a rich walnut, polished to a fine sheet. My wallet had to make do with a pine box with woodstain on it...

Slowly acquiring the US Release VHS. Not pictured is an alternate version of the Special Edition Widescreen: Director’s Cut. This has been invaluable in breaking it all down.

“Hopefully I won’t get in trouble for saying this, but I just saw the first episode. I was very excited and happy, and I’m excited to say it still feels very much a part of the Blade Runner family, despite being a new chapter.”

I apologize for the second post, but everybody wanted to see the blasters in better detail and lighting. I just don’t know how to add them to my existing text. Most of these I made. I’m molded and cast the handles, a lot of fine tuning work went into these. I think I’ve used every available model out there so if you’re looking for reference, this is a pretty good wide net to reference.

To start with, let me point out a few frames that, in my opinion, prove even Roy Batty had a soul. The dove flying up into the sky at the exact moment of his death is a highly recognizable symbol of a soul leaving the body.

This is even more obvious in K's case. A "soul's perspective looking down on its abandoned body" is a well-established cinematic trope. (One could compare K lying down to the shot of the wounded Dr. Malcolm Crowe from The Sixth Sense, where even their poses are similar, but I don't know if a frame from a different movie fits this SR).

But what I don't get is how the concept of a soul - a deeply mystical and philosophical category - even popped up in a story as starkly materialistic as Blade Runner 2049.

Who told the replicants about the soul in the first place, and who convinced them that it is reserved exclusively for the naturally born, regardless of their parentage?

After all, the "soul" is one of the most manipulative concepts in human history. At various points in time, women, unbaptized infants, infidels, slaves, the poor, indigenous peoples of conquered lands, and children born via IVF have all been deemed "soul-less." In sci-fi, this label naturally extends to clones, aliens, and so on.

So, why introduce such an inherently discriminatory idea to beings who are already obedient enough, yet far superior to humans in strength, endurance, and speed? To my mind, this wouldn't reinforce submission; it would only trigger existential reflection and a search for counterarguments.

It’s like telling children, "You can't do this until you're an adult." Well, of course, any child will immediately want to prove otherwise!

And that is exactly what we witness in the movie. The replicants see perfectly well that they are not inferior to humans in any measurable metric, so they strive to prove they are equal - or superior - in these imaginary ones.

It seems the "Blackout" didn't just wipe out data; it completely erased humanity's memory of how these historical patterns actually play out.

Finally, it’s time for the revised complete list. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for all the interest in my old post!

This is the complete list of the 11 official US VHS editions of Blade Runner. The most difficult to tell apart are the first three original Embassy releases. These exist with two different star colours on the spine. In addition, the White Star Edition exists with two different running times on the back (119 and 122 minutes). The White Star and Black Star releases also have different labels on the tape.

The original releases, along with the so-called “Red Tab” release, are probably the rarest. The Tenth Anniversary Edition also has a red flap.

The last image shows a rare screening tape of the 1997 release of The Director’s Cut. I’m not counting this as a separate release.

The editions are shown in chronological order, with the oldest in the top left.

Mine is this scene right here of Deckard drinking and looking down on a seemingly hopeless dystopian futuristic city. Then it's followed by Pris walking down a desolate and isolated street. It makes me feel incredibly gloomy but for some reason I really love the darkness. The soundtrack "Blade Runner Blues" alongside it is just perfection. The immersion is just captivating all around.

These probably have the most potential in representing the movie prop after some creative modifications/accessory cosplaying. Any other pistols out there with this potential?

Just a few of my blasters. I have most of them, including several that I made.

I couldnt figure out how to add another picture to my post on stuff from my 11 year old, so started new thread. Here's the birthday cake she made!
