Peter "Star-Lord" Quill's (Chris Pratt) photo-matched hero quad blaster from James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Star-Lord wielded his signature dual quad blasters throughout the film, including during his prison break from the Kyln alongside Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), and Groot (Vin Diesel).
During the first weeks of production in 2013, Star-Lord's hero blasters were displayed at the Marvel booth at San Diego ComicCon along with other props and key costume pieces from the film, including Star-Lord's helmet. After the event, the blasters were returned to set, where they were further scratched and modified during production use.
Patterns on the grip, paint on the front muzzle, and scratching on the lower barrel of this blaster photo-match it to the blaster on the left side of the 2013 display, while distressing along its upper barrel also matches to the blaster on the right side of the display, indicating that production assembled this blaster from parts of both hero blasters exhibited at ComicCon.
This ornately detailed Star-Lord Quad blaster is the first metal hero example ever offered to the public. It is constructed from multiple custom materials, including metals like machined aluminum and brass, as well as resin. Every component that appears metallic, including the upper and lower barrel sections, is cold to the touch, suggesting that they are either made of or plated with metal.
The blaster features a resin grip with a black and gray "hydro-dipped" carbon fiber design, a curved fin designed for holding with the right hand, and a distinctive hole drilled near the trigger to allow it to holster securely to Star-Lord's costume. Two custom metal screws are inset into the grip through the lower barrel.
The lower barrel's tip also features an extended inner section consisting of sophisticated machined aluminum and brass components, while both barrels feature rounded machined aluminum endpieces inset with custom metal screws.
Additionally, the upper muzzle features custom machined aluminum parts as well as LED lighting components, though their current functionality remains untested. The muzzle also features detailed fins on both sides held together by an intricate brass and metal armature. The blaster exhibits scuffing with scratching visible on the grip. Dimensions: 14" x 1.75" x 7.5" (35.75 cm x 4.5 cm x 19 cm)
