M5 was produced by an unknown factory in TAIWAN. It is a very early mould and probably was shot together with the Taiwan Crossbow on one sprue tree. It seems there were two Leia Blasters and two Crossbows on one sprue tree to be specific. The mould definitely made problems (see gates) and so it was retooled or modified at least three times.
The following colours are known:
- Dull black-blue
- Dull black
