TMNT 1990 - Raphael Sai Replicas

[Onkelpsycho]

Found this:

I don't know if he had access to the original props, but the Video says straps are made of leather like the props.

I have a picture of his WIP for the other weapons, I'll see if I can post it here.

 

[Rusty85]

He said he didn’t mind, so here’s a look at some of the other weapons he’s working on!

 

[Halliwax]

oh man this is exciting!

I stumbled across this page when I was searching the web. I’m based in the U.K. and would be interested in a set of Sai’s are they still available?

 

[xXLoKiXx85]

These look great! I've been dying to make a full set for a while!


Here's a handful of pics of the original props.

Any idea if these runs are gonna be open again?

 

[Rusty85]

I'll have to check with him, we haven't talked in a while.

I just got these in last night from a friend who is doing a run of each set of weapons. Not sure if I'm going to get them all mainly because of my limited space, but I couldn't resist as I've wanted these bad boys since I saw the movie all those years ago. I believe these were made using the original props as reference for size/ design. Machined aluminum with leather wrapped handles. Big thanks to Mike at Karnivorous Creations! Here's some pics for fans of the original movies!

Bringing up this topic again. Anyone talked to the maker lately? Rusty85?

 

[Rusty85]

Karnivorous Creations is his Instagram and on FB I believe for all those asking about these. I'd recommend trying to reach him there, I don't know if he's doing them currently. Tried reaching out but I'm assuming he's busy as he hasn't replied.

Why don't you just order from a martial arts supply vendor?

Most sais I've found commercially flare out at the tips. Also there's the wrapping and aging to be done.

Last time I reached out I was told at the moment they were only seeling directly at cons.

 

[JediMichael]

I'd love to know the price that they would all cost, just as a possible future idea.
As I said last year, I'd love to have them hanging on the wall, something arranged like this. This being just a quick photoshop.
I imagine these aren't to scale, but thoughts on the layout, or would any of you change something around?

 

[probablyjarrett]

If anyone is interested I've got a pair of the sais and nunchucks for sale in the junkyard. Cowabunga!

The real ones are supposed to flare.

The ninja turtles are one of the best examples of ignorant cultural appropriation. Those are not even ninja weapons, they are Okinawan weapons. They are also rendered badly.

They're also made for seven foot tall turtles. The absolute nerve!

 

[drusselmeyer]

The original turtles were much shorter.
