Tinplate6 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 When you collect things it's not always about going after just what you know, but occasionally finding a piece you've never seen before :blink: . This gun is one of those odd little pieces that could easily be overlooked, until you take a closer look :huh: . The Space Control Gun has a very over used name, as there are at least 4 other guns with the same title :rolleyes: , but that's where the similarity ends. Measuring in at 4.5 inches, this little clicker is made of semi-transparent metallic green plastic. At first glance it looks solid, the plastic has a liquid mercury swirling effect, I have seen in several other guns, but when you hold it up to the light, it shines through. The style, makes me think this is a recycled toy, one re-designed to sell more of old stock molds, however, that's not always the case. It has a strong reality based sculpt of a real gun, with only the slightest hint of spaciness, just enough to make it uniquely attractive...emitter rings on the barrel, a tail fin and a scalloped design on the front of the trigger guard, top it off with a few raised bands on the grips and you have the perfect pocket weapon for any outer space gangster. Don't move! Or I'll fill you full of...ummm, argon laser beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Love it! Just spacey enough for my tastes. Sweet find!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dratomic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You'd think I'd learn by now: Every time I pass on a gun and decide not to bid because I don't love it, someone else gets it, shows it off with better pictures, and makes me think, "Well, now. That's freakin' awesome!"Great pickup, T6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks guys! Hey Doc, don't sweat it, in my last post "A Raygun For You Too", I followed your lead, it all works out. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 So, TP. can I assume this is the gun from Anzin's post from Mar 2? At the time I commented that I really like the standard automatic shape set off by the slanted end louvers . I still like the end louvers! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Gee Phil, dunno :huh: ...I don't remember, I'll have to take a look.Ah yes, that's it alright, now I remember. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANZinSpace Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 There is definitely something about this gun. It has the feel of a gun that belongs in the type of Sci-fi movies I like - the not so glitzy future where weapons are the next step or two beyond what we have now.I also find the size amazing which when coupled with the translucent plastic just makes it so intriguing.
