Project Hangman - Nari Lightsaber Replica
Opening a Limited Run for my Nari lightsaber replica project in the very near future. I've already announced this on my Facebook page as well but figured it would be good to share here for folks that don't frequent Facebook much.
Nari, the Jedi that was hanged in Episode 1 of Obi-Wan Kenobi briefly shows his hilt in the show during a very dark scene but we were graced with this wonderful shot of the prop by the actor, Benny Safdie.
Reference Material:
From twitter
Desert scene
Lightened and tweaked to bring out more details, to me the emitter center looks to be polished brass and so that's what we've gone with on our design
I've analyzed these photos and drawn up the CAD for this hilt then had a couple prototypes made in collaboration with Jawa's Junkyard
Prototype:
Some Tweaks:
There are some items we want to adjust still, the lower button color is a bit too dark, some lengths on various sections a hair too long, and the polished areas are a bit too polished (this is not chromed, just polished steel here) but I'll be doing a final review and tweak on the design then opening orders on my website.
Run Numbers and Pricing:
I plan to offer 90 aluminum units and 10 steel units, capping the run at 100 units total.
Aluminum units will retail for $250
Steel units will retail for $425
We will require a 50% deposit to be placed to secure a spot in the run, final 50% is due upon manufacturing completion.
Items to be included:
Timeline:
My prototype should be in my hands within a couple weeks, after which I'll make final adjustments, open orders, and send off for production. Estimated production timeline is roughly 4 months barring any unforeseen delays, then an additional month to perform quality control, packing, and shipping to customers.
Collectors Box:
Thank you and MTFBWY!
