Factory Entertainment Ressikan Flute from Star Trek: TNG

[masterjedi322]

Factory Entertainment just put up a preorder for a replica of the Ressikan Flute from Star Trek The Next Generation!

Star Trek - Ressikan Flute Limited Edition Prop Replica

Details regarding the original prop, created in 1966, are sadly lost to time. So, to create this replica, the Factory Entertainment development team spent many hours carefully studying and examining images and footage of the prop to ensure the highest levels of accuracy.

Sounds like they were able to reference the real prop, and even incorporated some sound effects into the case.

Like many folks, The Inner Light was one of my favorite episodes of TNG, so I look forward to adding this replica to my collection.

A long time coming for this when I tried to License this they thought it would not sell.

The original prop could not play a note and is now in a Private Collection

Inner light and Darmok are my favorite episodes. This is a great piece!

Would love to see somebody tackle some TNG props!

MR made the boomerang phaser, which was from the later TNG-era movies, but I think the comment was meant for them to tackle the dustbuster and/or cobrahead versions that were prominent on the TV show.

Sean your right but rod.com tackled both the Dustbuster and the Cobra head. Even the Cobra head all metal laser pointer was pretty good. I just don’t see Factory Entertainment doing something already done. I hope I am wrong. However the flute was an easy win.

I remember Rodd.com offered kits, but can't recall if they offered finished pieces of the Dustbuster or Cobrahead...?

As for FE taking on stuff that's already been done - they did the MIB 2 neuralyzer after MR had done it, so I think there is some precedence. I would assume it would be based on demand...

As a TNG fan, I'd love to see more offerings of TNG-era props, especially a cobrahead and Mark VII tricorder. It seems most companies that take on the Trek license just like to redo the TOS phaser...

They did, you just paid more and then At some point they simply went to kits only. Based on demand is the key and they are even redoing the James Bond golden gun again I assume because of demand.

Not sure why the Mark IX seems to be the only Tricorder they want to make as Rod and EFX did those but a mark VII would be sweet. Very little in the TNG verse

Inner Light still makes me cry... Watched it earlier this year... Tears flowed at the end

Shame this flute has "sound effects" rather than being a playable flute

Even the original prop could not play a note. So for me the sound effects are welcome

 

[mrwax]

I'm glad that the sound effects are coming from the box instead of the flute itself. Much easier for batteries/switches, I think it's a good compromise.

 

[Bigdaddy]

It looks nice but I can't drop that unless it's playable.

Really? I thought it was built around a penny whistle?

 

[goldcylon]

Nope and Picard was an Axe grinder before the flute

 

[Apollo]

That was an awesome prop made out of a Chapman stick.

Saw one in NY at a Trek Con in the 80’s and got to play it

Apollo That must have been awesome....

 

[Apollo]

It was a beautifully done working “Prop” , and sadly a one off.

Quite a few were trying to get him to build one for them
