One of the coolest things about Blade Runner was its future environment. And in that universe, we saw those cool floating advertising blimps. Sadly, these futuristic airships still haven’t become a reality, so it’s up to us to create them if we want them. Fortunately, Adam Savage and Kayte Sabicer of Tested have done just that, creating an awesome mini replica of the floating billboards.
While Adam led the project, it’s clear from the video that Kayte did most of the heavy lifting on this build, so kudos, Kayte! It took many months of work and it shows. This thing is full of detail and yes, it even displays on its built-in video screen. Plug it in, and an ad comes up for the Off-World Colonies where you can begin again in a land of golden opportunity. Inside, it has fiber-optics and a color wheel inside so that its lights change just like they did in the movie. It even uses the original video files and sound files from the film. And since it was built to half-scale of the original movie model, it required much more precision to put it all together.

I want this thing so badly. Sadly it’s one of a kind. Maybe I can capture Adam and Kayte and lock them in my basement until they make me one? Is that going too far? God, this thing is gorgeous.
I’ve yet to see the Blade Runner 2049, but everyone is saying it’s a pretty incredible movie. Given the fact that the original Blade Runner is one of my favorite films of all time (despite its flaws), I can’t want to see how Denis Villenueve’s long-awaited sequel turned out.
Fans of the original Blade Runner know that Gaff (Edward James Olmos) liked to make little origami animals, most significantly, the unicorn that is representative of Rick Deckard’s mysterious past. While you could certainly fold your own paper unicorn, this sterling silver version is much, much cooler. It’s made by AllegroArts and is a dead ringer for the origami unicorn from Ridley Scott’s original 1982 film. Each one is handmade from folded sheets of fine silver, and comes on either a 18″ or 24″ sterling chain.
The pendant is priced at $85 to $90 (USD) in AllegroArts’ Etsy shop, and as of this writing, they only have one left in stock, so you’d better faster than Pris can do gymnastics if you want one.

Harrison Ford has been involved with some iconic movies over the years. One of his best known roles was in Blade Runner. If you have seen that film, you might recall the blaster he uses to hunt down the rogue Replicants.
The Tomenosuke Blaster Pro replica is 100% accurate down to each part of the gun from the film. It looks almost identical to the one we talked about in the past that Adam Savage from Mythbusters made.
Sadly, the completed gun costs about $900 – assuming you can even find one. At the moment, it looks like the Hollywood Collectibles Group still has some available.
If $900 for the completed weapon is too much to spend, you can get a cheaper $570 version. That version comes in pieces as a model kit. I think it would be fun to build the model version and the extra loot could be spent on action figures.
Blade Runner was such a classic movie and so far ahead of it’s time that it has legions of fans, despite having virtually no expanded material aside from the original movie (and various different edits). That’s why fans love to find cool new ways to show their love for the movie.
Artist Anders Ramsell is one such fan. He’s condensed the film into a 34-minute masterpiece that must have been a true labor of love. He created 12,597 watercolor paintings by hand to animate key scenes from the film. To make the feat even more amazing, each individual piece of art measures only about 1.5 centimeters by 3 centimeters.
Check it out and be thoroughly impressed. It will make you crave a sequel that’s for sure. Hopefully one will be coming our way soon.
