Out of absolutely no where comes a unique offering from Japan! Manufacturer Daiki Kougyou is making a fully functional G1 Megatron water gun. The piece sports a dead on look to his G1 gun mode, complete with extra parts that can be removed. And you can blast your friends with some liquid pain to boot! This is literally the thing that triggered all kids guns to be orange capped and/or permanently neon colored in the United States, so we assume it’s aimed at the Japanese market. How this is getting through customs for collectors is anyone’s guess.
Read on to check out the product pictures and translated details. The company website is NSFW, so hit google if you have to.
Overview:
■ Animation work Introducing a real human-sized water gun that accurately reproduces the gun mode of the Destron Corps’ Destroyer Megatron, the famous enemy of “Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformer”. If you attach the purple Destron mark that shines in the center, the attached extension barrel and scope, and the skeleton stock to the powerful and precise form that imitates the p38 type automatic pistol, it will transform into a sniper style carbine.
■ It is a very fun-like item that you can reproduce one of the most famous scenes in the Transformer series, which was once the commander of Optimus Prime holding it in that form and shooting at Megatron.
■ By the way, the automatic pistol part was designed with reference to the existing .45 caliber version in order to reproduce the animation design that the barrel is thick, especially while following the original division line. We aimed for accuracy that even model gamma nia people can enjoy!

I so want one… What was final cost?
I really need one

After Amazon Japan sending my original back when DHL / customs wouldn't deliver, it finally arrived (chose the slow shipping) via a forwarding service after reordering it (at a lower MSRP) from AJP.

Finally shipped my water gun from my proxy (after the one directly from Amazon Japan was returned to sender by DHL). Was waiting for this to arrive from GraffArt.

I ordered mine through Anime Export and it arrived with no problems. After shipping it was $84, which I'm not even mad about as shipping was DHL and it arrived within 6 days from Japan.

Congrats fellow agua squirter! Got through to Amazonjp right? I'm counting my blessings that mine got through too! PC case I hope his forwarder/proxies get though and not get cold feet.

Mine arrived into the Boston MA area no issues. Of course, it was front face down, no visible windows, shrunk with a piece of cardboard to it. Not that that impacts xrays of course. Might have just gotten lucky this time.

Wow, that sucks man.
How many US peeps do we have here that got theirs from AJP?
Mine arrived with no problems, I still don't know how.

They woundn't take my orders. Two of them. I can get all those
stuff in Jp. But not this. The amazonjp purchase I made surprised me.
PoweredConvoy
The MSRP was a bit less buying from Amazon Japan from a Japanese address. Even though you can no longer buy it from AJ outside of Japan you still can from inside.
Yes. Begged off? I don't follow.
Fafnir72
Are you US based? My JP proxy begged off my Megs PO.

What was it running you?

Going to use a forwarding service this time. Hopefully I will have better luck.

Damn, that sucks. Sorry

The one I ordered from Amazon Japan was returned to sender. I guess it got stopped by customs.

Water is pretty dense
I waited until you had some serious replies

There's epoxy with added weights (buck shot/lead fish line weights, BBs, etc) it'll not only add weight, but make it feel solid, because it will be.
You just need to make sure all the seams are sealed and you would need to do it it stages as it gets chemically warm.
I plan on getting one and I'll look it over before I decide to add weight.
Like the previous comment, if it can be disassembled, you can adhere weights inside and preserve the figure.
