Hey everyone, Johnny Z here… I’m new to the forum, but man, what a time to be getting back into one of my favorite things as a kid… lightsabers! Especially with all the great examples that have come out of the community recently (and hopefully more to come). Last best examples I knew of as a kid was Larbel and Jedi Vic, and boy have we come a long way. Looking forward to what’s to come!
Regarding the latest EFX Obi TPM… I think they did a fantastic job. Not a fan of the “light weathering” or weathering in general, but not bad overall.
So 2 things:
1. I do like the chamfering on the pommel cubes (not sure how accurate that is to the metal hero prop) but interesting detail as it takes the sharp edge off most interpretations I’ve seen and held. Is that accurate from details the community has learned about this prop so far?
2. Not sure if this was already answered, but is the O-ring a real rubber O-ring or integrated as part of one of the components?

Welcome back to the community, have to say, you have missed a lot if your last was a Larbel
These were only just shipped out. No answer on the other ring unless Dewy can answer as he already has his. And it's definitely a pretty aggressive chamfer on those cubes. The hero did not possess that.

Interesting choices on the cubes for sure. I never noticed or paid attention to the chamfer on the cubes before. However, looking back at some of the reference photos the edge of the cubes do appear as though they may have this feature. You can see how the light is reflecting on their edges in both of these photos. I understand the second saber is different from the TPM hero.
Also, until the efx release I had not noticed what appears to be a small indention on the purple rivet. But it also seems to be present in the same reference photos.
Either way as a licensed replica I think they did well and I am excited to be able to compare this prop in person to my Saberz project O1 and AS/Dewy.
I did, I said I will be replacing all the buttons with the correct found parts haha ;-D However, in some pictures, it does look like there's a hole of some kind. However NONE of the resin stunt props have that hex indentation. Plus, I believe Dewy and Starkiller researched pretty extensively the found parts that were on that hilt, so unless it's an updated replacement part, I doubt it's accurate. I think, perhaps what is seen, is more of a wear from when the hilt was set down on that side
Looks to me like a flat spot that's less prone to wear and/or catching the light on the way that the rounded surface is.
I stand by that as well!
Me too! This style of ID mark was phased out 20+ years ago as far as I can tell. I do still keep my eyes peeled though!

Oh wow, in this zoom in I can totally see it. Never knew about this, so this one is new to me. What are the details behind this found part? Rivet I’m assuming, but where’d it come from?
Why would a rivet have a hex hole? Rivets don't get screwed in.
