Good eye on the d ring, Chaim. I bet you that they took this resin casting and used it as reference when converting one of the Yuma stunts into the hero. The black button is analogous to the clamp lever, the control box being in line with the d ring, the shifted clamp; it all makes so much sense. It's so cool following the lineage of the various thin neck sabers, seeing how the design evolved and how different design elements were appropriated. I hope more high res pics show up! I feel like I'm obligated to replicate this, now.
