I'm definitely in for one

Will you use a real Hera on this prop?

No, the cost is far to high even at wholesale, and having them shipped globally can cause issues, its hinge is design based of a real hera tho, and adapter the better suit an installable saber .

Some of the details in the images found at the below link look a little different. These may be renderings instead of the actual prop. Are the differences intentional?

that render is from the Lightsaber collection book that was released this month and cant be considered accurate, none of the other renders are remotely close, however there have been some changes made to the production model to have it match the screen used better then on the prototype, we believe that the changes we have made have go it bang on and also made it easier to install!

I thought that might be the case.

Are good reference photos of the actual prop available somewhere? I have not had much luck finding any. The shots from the movie aren't very clear.

Will updated renders be shown before the preorder ends? I have a few concerns about the prototype. The updates may address those concerns.

Sorry, to be more clear, I did not sign up for the pre order but I’m wondering if this is something that will be on sale and if orders already went out for the pre orders. Just any info on the current state would be appreciated (even if it’s closed and not going to be available for purchase).

Thank you!

Yes, check out www.facebook.com/phoenixprops15, I'm posting updates there and we have a semi finished production model pictured there

We revised the first hinge to be as close to the original Hera as possible so that implanting your Hera on it will be much easier. You'll need to handle the clocking of the hilt as we have no guarantee it will align right when using the Hera.

I was having internet trouble yesterday so ended up not actually posting a response. Here it is now.

There will be a small number available after the preorder for sale.

We are currently finishing up production and had some delays due to the current events around the world, but still chugging along towards completion.
