Looks like with Dragun/Odyssey out of business, there are other companies stepping up and importing the same guns they used to sell.

Looks like it is the same gun odyssey was importing as the torid. I have to admit i do like the logo, it has kind of a punisher thing going on, even though it looks like it is a sticker. LOL;)

they're full of crap. that is nothing new. It's a pewter Surge "Bonez". Many times accidentally mistaken as a dragun product.

sorry babboa. But yeah, it's not anything new. And the look of the advert gives me that FULL 3a style feel to the company.

Sorry guys. Yeah, darke, I got that seriously creepy 3a vibe off the advert too. I just stumbled across it in an e-bay search and since i had forgotten about the surge "bonez" and had not seen this particular gun yet, I thought I might pass it along as an item of general interest.

Yeah, they've got that whole comic book super-hearo style advertising that 3a used to have splashed all over thier ebay adverts, and all over thier website.
I checked out their feedback, and they do seem to do an honest bit of biz there on ebay, just.....not Any in the last Year at all?? :eyes:
I checked out their website too. They've got several legit markers listed on their site, including a few of the dragun markers. I dunno if I'd buy from them or not tho.
The Bonez was/is a pretty decent marker from what I have heard. I mean, it's comparable to the tes/toridX, and some of the newer guns like the Vexor.
I dunno what upgrades it takes, as far as what parts are compatible, or what kind of reliability that they had.
To me, they DO kinda remind me of the ToridX. Not because of the styling, but because they were a marker that most peeps didnt know about, or hadn't ever seen, because they weren't very well marketed.

But....90 day manufacturers warranty!?!? About the ONLY time that I know of where they dont put at least a Full Year on a gun, is when it's a refurb. So I'm thinking that's what this is. A refurb'd Bonez.
