Hi guys I have picked up 2 blasters today but not 100% sure if real or not they both pass the float test but never seen a stormtrooper blaster so blue and the Lando general/Luke Speeder know there are a lot of fakes out there.

You'll need pictures that are focused better, try using something a couple of inches high to rest your phone on and then put the weapon on the side, you should then be able to get a good, sharp focus with no camera shake

I would say they are suspect also sorry bud. The imperial blaster looks very blue to me and also has from what I can see no pattern on the pistol grip.

Also with the palace plaster nothing looks very defined and no raised bump as already mentioned. I have a couple of luke Jedi plasters and they are extremely well defined details. Also been looking looking for one of these to complete my luke battle poncho so I feel your pain.

They do look dubious. I wouldn't bother with the float test, even repro from the 90s float.

They should both bend a little under stress, there also shouldn't be superfluous flashing (excess plastic) and the details should be sharp and distinct.

It's also a lot easier if you can compare your blasters against some that you know are 100% legit.
