SP Sabers - Darth Sidious - The Shroud of the Darkside - Limited Saber Run

[ShaunP Props]

This thread will be for updates for the upcoming run by SP Sabers, Props and Collectables, Shroud of the Darkside, replica Saber. Base of the 2 sabers weiled by Darth Sidious. Elegant curved and made from electrum im hoping to do this saber the justice it has never been afforded.

Currently the prototype is underway.
it will be CNC machined and cast from brass and finished in a mirror chrome, and painted and sealed body, the same as the prop was, and gold chrome parts, 24k plating is on the cards pending pricing.

As with my premium saber runs, there will be a couple of options

Standards Edition (the saber, finished in chrome and MR purple)
Collectors Edition (the saber in mr purple, and SP Sabers Injection moulded mirror stand (MR style) plus all the goodies
Ultimate collectiors editions (Own both of Darth Sidious's sabers, the MR purple and the black and chrome version
Signature Edition (The MR purple style saber, and a limited edition plaque signed by the emperor himself, Mr Ian Mcdiarmid)

As always ask any question here or on the SP Sabers Facebook Page

A Couple on renders i did up today

So I’m correct in thinking that the MR one is still the most accurate hero version of the saber?

By a long shot its one of the few MRs that are actually based on the hero rather then another hilt

Very curious to see the actual item and price.

This is Shaun. The pricing is very good, limited spots, but out of the world pricing!

Took a screenshot from a prop webisode I was watching. Is this a hero prop or a stunt? I believe it was taken out from the drawer with the hero props.

The FX emitter and pommel that are included will be in addition of the emitter and pommel on the hilt, right? I want to be sure that the hilt doesn’t have holes (like the MR) Sure looks like it on the renders, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

So the hilt in the Standard Edition is the same hilt that is in the Collectors Edition?
