speculation - the future of FX is "EFX"

[WEDGE ANTILLES]

has anyone seen this banner?
http://www.rebelscum.com/images/efxleaderboard.jpg
it advertises something called "EFX" with no details except the date of the next comic con.


speculation on rebelscum has led many to believe that this is a new business venture of MR_BRYAN,
and that this will constitute a new line of force-FX which will hit the market this summer.

OK, here's a healthy mixture of fact and my speculation as to what it means.

SPECULATION: This is a new FX lightsaber company being run by Bryan, MR's head of the SBU, or Strategic Business Unit.

FACT: efxreplicas.com was registerd to ToyTeq on August 5, 2007.

FACT: ToyTeq is a toy development and manufacturing resource company owned by Bryan Ono of Master Replicas.

FACT: One of the products ToyTeq was involved with (as advertised on their website) is the FX line of lightsabers.

here is toyteq's website:

www.toyteq.com

as you can see they were involved in the development of the original anakin AOTC force-FX

any thoughts/comments/speculations  from FX-Sabers.com/forum/? 

(ie:  what say you, good people?)

Seems like a very reasonable assumption, so much so I'd say this is almost certainly happening. Gonna be a long wait til late July.

[BIGGS DARKLIGHTER]

Perhaps more interesting is that MRBryan was the main "Star Wars guy" at MR.

Boy would I like a studio scale X-wing and more FX sabers.

Regardless, rumors are sure going to run rampant for the next 7 months!!

 ;D

[darthmorbius]

That is something VERY intriguing!

Watch this carefully, for it could mean GREAT things for those who wish to have the stuff that MR couldn't produce!

*Silently wishes for Qui-Gon and Dooku..*

Oh, man If I could just get an Obi TPM, I swear it would make my year!  :o

[Vosk]

Hmm, very interesting.  I shall be watching this closely.

If Bryan does pick up where Master Replicas left off, I wonder if we'll get a repop of the current line, and maybe a more accurate Anakin AOTC. 

It would be nice too with the Luxeon technology around now maybe Bryan can opt into making the sabers Luxeons.

7/23/08 = San Diego Comic-Con Preview Night

EFX= Elite FX? (In true 1:1 Scale w/ removable blades).

LFL saying they were already working on 'something' to replace MR back in July 2007.

Hot dog that anakin aotc looked sweet!!I'll be watching this one lol :D

[Darth Resev]

 :o  :o  :o WHAT   ??? This sounds great  :)
New sabers with removeable blades  8) To me that sounds like it saves alot more time & $ for more saber upgrades  ;D

[th31]

Who knows, hopefully if they do do Force-FX types, they start with all the ones that were never done, or start from Episode I and work their way through Episode 6 before they start doing the Expanded Universe.


Also, I doubt they will announce anything until Master Replicas is completely sold out of everything from their warehouses.

[Super sith 22]

I think that with such a large fan base and market that somebody from MR would eventually start another fx-line. Looks awesome, can't wait.

Also ---- long time no see Wedge.

And this is the third thread on the same subject!
