My Somewhat Humble Raygun Collection

[Lee Bullock]

Here is my vintage shelf

Here are my more modern ones

No Pyrotomics, or Hubleys but I am working on it. I think a Daisy XZ 38 is starting to look pretty enticing!!

And the amazing light displays that the modern ones put on show!!!

Nice ray guns! Do I see a V gun in there, from the old TV show?

I like the light show, too -- those newer guns are lots of fun.

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks Dr A!!!!!!!! The V gun is made by Arco for the Robotech line - but is clearly based on the V design, Its actually a pretty rare toy. There is a rash of new ray guns out that are so cool - with retro styling and excellent features. Definitely toys that should be appreciated in the future.

Ah... Robotech. I'd never have guessed. Very neat.

The nice thing about collecting ray guns is that, with a few obvious exceptions, it's a relatively inexpensive hobby. Even some of the absolute best vintage pieces can be had for under US$50. Some of them WAY under... And, as you say, many of the new ones coming out still look great -- they continue to embody an imaginative vision of the future.
