Nice, good finds!

Nice! You can see that they did have the scrotum drum ready to go.

Man I would hate to be a toy manufacturer, because of this it would cost stupid amounts of money (and time) just to get a new product on the shelves.

Oh mannn, a drum fed vulcan would've been really cool.

That 'see through' blaster got me. It's really odd. The thing is, the plunger tube is offset from the barrel, as denoted in the internal shots. So basically the air was flowing around a corner to get out. That's horribly inefficient for a blaster of that size and is more than likely why it was scrapped. But it would have been very cool to see how it all works in person. Oh well

So apparently it was made in 98 and called the Mono Blast.
