Ima-Gun Di Lightsaber

[guabe]

Ok so the breakdown so far is:

There is also this picture that It would be awesome to find which magazine this is from... The Adi Gallia hilt shows the buttons but I can't tell if they are the same color as the Eeth koth.

it's from Empire Magazone issue 319 (The force Awakens)

I need to get a hold of one.

Sizewise I made it roughly 27cm long. In the prop auction they specify a lenght of 26.75cm but the image they provided with the rule seems that the hilt is a bit longer.

It’s likely that the resin copy is slightly smaller than it was 20 years ago. So the original dimensions would be slightly larger.

Ok i subscribed to Empire Mag lol



So the Adi Galia has the purple and burgundi buttons, so its probably the same as the Eeth Koth

 

[teecrooz]

I think the purple buttons are aircraft rivets. Same as in the Obi-TPM.

 

[Reel Fakes]

Yup.

I need to gauge some interest on the following:

Id like to make all 3 versions, but all metal so they can be installed. The question here is if I make all 3, what would be the percentage of split? 1/3rd each? More fistos? more Ima?I was thinking since there are not many Ima-Gun Di's in the wild that would be like 50% and then Fisto and Galia like 25% each?

What changes between them is:

- Gallia, polished emitter, media blasted body/grip and pommel, polished pommel tail, burgundi and purple rivets
- Fisto, media blasted all the way, so it looks more like the resin prop
- Ima-Gun, same as fisto but brass grip and brass rivets.
- All with Real needle roller bearings and O-rings.


The project is moving forward, Just want to understand what the potential demand per version is. Thanks.

I'm interested in a Gallia, as long as it's prop accurate - no visible set screw for blade retention.

 

[djedi]

Personally I would want one of each.

 

[corliss1]

I'd be in for all three

 

[teecrooz]

I would be interested in the Gallia or Fisto, possibly both.

 

[BenjaminK]

Interested in Gallia and/or Fisto.

Nice!

 

[Gioaldani]

I am in for Gallias and Imas, my máster

 

[FLS89]

I’d be interested in a Gallia one, which I believe would look like the one in the box with all of the sabers in the behind the scenes image.

Are you going to add the purple aircraft rivets (the found part) on the gallia one?

 

[Ridire Firean]

Hey guabe ! From the pictures teecrooz posted on page 1, and the magazine spread photo you posted, it looks like the Kit Fisto has a darkened, or black-ringed, grip section if you wanted to update your breakdown image.

Good Luck on your run!

If i can source them then yes. Do you happen to know what is the head diameter on the obiwan rivets? Seems that they are a bit smaller? cant really tell.

You are correct here... I was under the impression that its just weathering but its just too perfect to be weathering. It will have a darker groove. Thanks
