These guys were imported and sold as Thrixopelma sp. blue a couple of years ago. Nowadays there's a different spider available under this name (which complicates looking for these significantly...)and these guys have vanished completely from the market afaik.
Could this one be considered Homeomma sp. Blue??
The confusion is real!!! I have the "current" Thrixopelma sp. Blue...I also have a Thrixopelma Lagunas (pretty sure) but they also look very similar to H. Sp. Blue.
Then there's the H. Sp. Blue Peru, which I think eventually they called Thrixopelma cyaneolum. I also have one of those lol

The ones sold as blue Peru2, longicolli (possibly the same as bP2), lagunas etc. all lose the red setae when they reach maturity, this one is adult, fully colored and red/orange as hell
It looks exactly like the one here on AB called "Theraphosinae spp. Woolly Sunkist orange possible Thrixopelma" right down to the "fuzzy" carapace.
I have 2.1 (males being significantly smaller) so maybe in the future there'll be more of these available, at least I hope so
