QMx Robatto Sonic now ready for ordering

[phez]

That is Ainswort, that one is disputable. I was thinking he said that he used the original molds (bucks) that he still had from the movie but in reality he used some kind of re-sculpt (as I understand it, I could have it mixed up). I don't think we can count him :lol

Any RPFer get one of these?

Took me a while to find it, but here's the article I was referring to:

George Lucas loses lawsuit over stormtrooper costume replicas

oh, I know... he just didn't sculpt the thing.

Wow, I hadn't heard that side of things... Thanks for the info!

To be honest, I think the Robatto sonic is a high water moment for this hobby. Seriously. Has there ever before been an offering like this? The primary prop from a tv show made to exacting standards, by the same guy who made it for the show??

Has that ever happened before? I think it's nuts. Great time to be in the hobby for sure.

I just remembered another instance... Also from QMx. The Tesla they sell is built by Kenney Palkow, who also made/makes them for the show. Maybe the Farnsworth, too, but I seem to recall that that wasn't one of his. I could be mistaken on that score, though.
