Apparently the same company that made the Gundam Gun Guitar that I saw in Akihabara also makes this ‘Heat Hawk’ version in the shape of an axe used by Gundam Zaku. My buddy Scott Rowan writes:
They are/were manufactured by a company called Banpresto (http://www.banpresto.co.jp/) and released in 2002. The guitars have an internal amp and speaker. Pulling the trigger plays back one of 3 Gundam sound effects. Couldn’t find any info on whether the magazine does anything. 1 metre length, 3.5 kg weight, battery powered.
I think I’m going to spring for the Gun Guitar. I’ll just use that stupid money I was going to use for taxes.
