Genesis Custom Sabers is pleased to present for sale in a limited run… Jaina; Sword of the Jedi. This is my original design for the SWEU character of the adult Jedi Jaina Solo. It's perfect for anything from cosplay to combat, and has the latest tech from Plecter Labs!
This saber is based on my original with a few minor changes intended to lower the cost and still keep the functionality, while improving the durability of this saber design. The run sabers will have the following differences from the original;

The saber is almost exactly 11" long. It's quite small - in the pic it's my wife's tiny hand.

I inserted someone into the list who is waiting for their fx-sabers registration to be approved. I did it in the order of communication I received.

Post by: madcow on January 02, 2014, 02:41:45 PM
I'm gratified to see all the interest.

You may have noticed that the timetable on this run is faster than usual. That's because I ordered most of the parts already. I wanted to put together a couple since the run sabers assemble differently on the inside than the original. I needed to confirm that all the parts fit as expected. They do.
Plus, I wanted to wait until I could put a PC3 into these sabers.

Those of you in the run will know that I have approached Sanjuro about a stand and plaque for this run. That was before his Laser went down...
Sanjuro Systems - Laser DOWN! (http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=42475.0;topicseen)

He's a consummate pro and working on it, so we may still be able to get this done in time. If not - I will deduct the stand amount from the last invoice and we'll work it out afterwards.

They will be almost identical to these Corran Horn stands, but numbered.

I'm told Sanjuro is back up and running and the stands are a go.

I've just finished the minor machining and hole-drilling-tapping. I should be able to start powdercoating by the end of the week!

Yes - all good to go and ready to be cut.

I'll laser them this weekend and get them out to Madcow after that.

Thanks all!

Even with all the Badaxx orders, I'm getting work done each week on the Jaina sabers. This is the first step in the weathering process. Which incidentally is one of the video tutorials covered in Madcow’s Shop Secrets « Genesis Custom Sabers (http://genesiscustomsabers.com/?wpsc-product=madcows-shop-secrets).
