Hasbro is taking pre-orders today for the final Mando Monday for the new Boba Fett helmet. This is just a digital rendering, but they did include the heavy texture. They will also have the Dark Saber up. I assume it will have a blade, but have not seen any pictures of it yet. I will be ordering both of these today.

UPDATE: I just read on JediTempleArchives.com that the Boba Fett helmet will be $119 (same as previous Boba Fett helmets) and the Dark Saber will be $250, so it will definitely have a blade.

The preorder page is also already up on Hasbro Pulse for the Darksaber. Orders will be taken today for it too. It does have a removable blade. Apparently they also added a rechargable battery to it.

It has to have a blade, it's part of hasbro's license.

Already found them. Not thrilled about the $250 price tag, but I have to have this.

 

[benhs1898]

Price might be because it will be the first with a rechargeable li-on battery

All of the Elite Force FX sabers are $250. Except for Kylo, that one is $300.

Hasbro has gradually raised the price of the standard Force FX sabers, too. They used to retail for $150. Then Obi Wan, Macu Windu, and Maul were $175. Kit Fisto, Asajj, and Dooku are $215. Those are all basic FX sabers. The only one with added features was Kit Fisto. That one had a removable blade and blade plug.

Honestly, I think he looks better than in the OT.

Never ever...the ESB Boba has the best Look!

 

[benhs1898]

Oh yeah, I forgot what I paid for mine. But yeah, it is the first one with a rechargeable battery as well.

Wanted to share my repainted Rubies blaster with you guys. This was a fun quick project.

 

[Ruadh1977]

Man, that 'wood grain' is beautiful! You have every right to show that work off!

 

[AnubisGuard]

Yeah, that's fantastic. Is that hydrodipped?

 

[FirstPick]

Thanks, but no it is hand painted.

 

[Ares X]

I gotta agree with the others. Excellent work on the wood grain handle. Now I need to repaint mine because it doesn't compare at all with yours. Nice work!

I really want to see how they made the blade for the dark saber, there are a few ways to do it already so hopefully hasbro can teach us a few things

The various sizes of Ahsoka sabers then made. Thought for a second the larger ones were the galaxy’s edge ones but I don’t see the speaker gaps in the pommel.

We have a dedicated Darksaber thread— check it out!

i saw that but i talking about a different way to do it that they might have figured out

 

[Synz314]

Welp, I gave in and ordered the Hasbro Darksaber. $228 with tax on sale at Gamestop. I spent more on the metal Beskar staff, which is just a solid pole, so might as well add this to my Force FX collection.

Luke is wearing a tunic which looks like a tribute to Anakin/Vader.

 

[CT1138]

Yes, the entire costume reminded me much of Anakin in RotS, particularly the oversized hood...

Repetition is one of the main themes of Star Wars. Like father, like son. Luke's appearance is very similar to Anakin. Also Luke's battle with dark droids in Mandalorian parallels Darth Vader's hallway scene in Rogue One.

They are setting up for Luke's eventual downfall, similar to Anakin's downfall in PT.
