    Jul 13, 2012 - efx Obi-wan and Luke reveal sabers #1

    Looks like eFX will be making more reveal lightsabers in the style of ROTJ Luke reveal saber! This time, it's Obi-Wan and Luke's ANH saber

    This pic is from SDCC eFX session.

    - Expanding their video game lightsaber collection with Starkiller (Galen Marek) from the Force Unleashed game.
    - More "Reveal" Lightsabers will be coming - nothing specific discussed just yet.
    - Return of the Mini lightsabers, which will now feature electronics!
    - Legend Line Darth Maul lightsaber - molded plastic right from the original prop.
    - Biker Scout Legend Helmet, also cast from the original Lucasfilm molds, and on display in their booth.
    - Ep 5 Yoda puppet (Legend Edition) is in the pipeline. Also coming soon is the Slave 1 FX Model, the original prop of which was on tour in Asia and is finally back in the states where they can start taking molds.

    The Telescoping thing doesnt do it for me. I think a CUT away would have been cooler.

    I agree that they are pushing this reveal thing a little bit too far. Also, the pics of the saber looks warp ...

    until they resolve the issue with the sabers bending at the joints...I don't see these being a have to have item.
    The TESB Luke looks like its literally falling apart.

    I am not a fan of the reveal sabers. I feel it just adds to the expense for detailing that I do not want... but maybe that is just me. I did pick up the ROTJ reveal because I did like the opening box like in the deleted scene and the light up crystal was a nice touch. Those are the only to sections I reveal when I display it because... 1. I do not care about the other sections and 2. It does that warp thing (that can't be good for it over time). The only reason I did decide to buy one is that at one point redfordfilms.com had it 20% off ($100) and that price I though it was worth it.

    I guess they are nice for people looking to pick up a version of the hilt if they do not have one.

    But I look forward to Starkiller hilt, Scout Trooper helmet and Yoda.

    I hope a Boba fett Helmet is somewhere in the future as well.

    The Obi ANH reveal has been in development for how many years, and they still can't get it right? They need to bring on Slothfurnace as a consultant. Seems like he's got this whole "reveal" thing pretty much nailed.
